Inspection and Diagnosis.
CCTV services are an essential aspect of modern drainage maintenance and management. These services involve the use of specialized cameras to inspect the interior of sewer and drainage pipes. Main points to consider include
CCTV cameras can be inserted into drainage systems to provide a live feed of the condition inside the pipes. This helps in identifying blockages, damage and wear-and tear without the need for excavation.
Tilting and panning of defects is undertaken to gain a clearer view/better view or confirm evidence or determine the extent of the defect. All defects are photographed and coded in the CCTV report.
Our workers are thoroughly trained in screen displays, screen headers for upstream node ID, setup node, pipe material. They understand the additional information that can be displayed regarding camera inclination and position.
High-Resolution Cameras
The cameras used for these services are high resolution and often come adjustable focus to allow for a clear view of the pipe’s condition, noting issues like cracks, intrusions or collapsed sections
Accessibility to Hard to Reach Areas
The CCTV units can navigate through bends and long stretches of pipe. Essential for inspecting out of reach areas.
Recording and reporting
Footage from the inspections can be recorded providing a permanent record that can be analyzed to make informed decisions about necessary repairs or maintenance
Cost effectiveness
Our CCTV services can reduce potential cost blow outs by precisely locating where a problem is before digging. This targeted approach can reduce the amount of disruption and restoration work required.
Pipe material identification
Inspections can be crucial for identifying the materials of which the pipe is made. This is crucial for older systems where records may not exist or be accurate
