Understanding CCTV SURVEYS

Why Are Commercial CCTV Drain Surveys Important?

Underground drainage systems can deteriorate through age, corrosion, ground movement, root intrusion and accumulated debris.

Undetected drainage problems can cause flooding, operational disruption, unexpected repair costs and construction delays.

Professional CCTV drainage surveys help to:

Identify visible pipe defects and obstructions

Investigate recurring drainage problems

Assess existing drainage conditions before construction

Support planned maintenance and repairs

Improve underground asset records

Provide useful information for engineering decisions

For wider site investigations, our underground utility locating services can provide additional information about buried infrastructure.

Our Commercial CCTV Drainage Survey Services

Metroscan provides specialist drainage inspections in Ireland for commercial, industrial and public-sector sites throughout the country.

Pre-Construction & Site Surveys

We investigate existing drainage networks before construction, redevelopment or groundworks to help identify potential defects and infrastructure constraints.

These surveys can complement our construction surveys and topographical surveys.

Drainage Condition & Maintenance Surveys

Our CCTV inspections help assess pipe conditions, identify visible defects and provide information for maintenance planning.

Reports can include defect observations, condition grading where specified and recommendations for further investigation.

Build-Over & Uisce Éireann Surveys

We provide drainage inspections to support projects involving existing drainage infrastructure and relevant Uisce Éireann requirements.

Survey findings can support engineering assessments and applications where required. Any necessary approvals remain subject to the relevant authority.

Drain Mapping & Infrastructure Location

We help identify drainage routes, connections and accessible underground assets.

Depending on the project, information can be integrated with GPS-referenced records and CAD-compatible drawings.

Our manhole surveys and GPR surveys can provide complementary infrastructure information.

Drainage Defect Detection

Specialist CCTV equipment can help identify:

  • Root ingress
  • Cracked or fractured pipes
  • Collapsed pipe sections
  • Displaced joints
  • Pipe deformation and corrosion
  • Silt, debris and blockages
  • Misaligned connections
  • Visible leakage and infiltration

Defects are recorded where accessible and visible, with location information provided according to the agreed survey scope.

CCTV Drainage Reports

Following inspection, clients can receive clear documentation including:

  • CCTV footage and photographs
  • Pipe and chamber identification
  • Recorded defects and observations
  • Pipe condition information
  • Drainage layout details where required
  • Recommended actions

Our Technology

Specialist CCTV Drain Survey Equipment

Our commercial drainage investigations use specialist camera systems suited to different pipe sizes and site conditions.

What Can GPR Surveys Help Detect?

Crawler Camera Systems

Remote-controlled crawler cameras allow detailed inspection of suitable larger-diameter drainage pipes, with high-resolution video and pan, tilt and zoom capabilities.

Push-Rod Cameras

Push-rod cameras provide access to smaller drainage pipes and confined sections where larger equipment may be unsuitable.

High-Resolution Inspection Technology

Our existing service specifications include:

  • Inspection capability for pipes from approximately 50 mm to over 2,000 mm
  • Camera cable lengths of up to 250 metres
  • High-definition video recording
  • Pan, tilt and zoom functionality on suitable systems
  • Digital inspection records and reporting

Equipment suitability depends on pipe diameter, accessibility, condition and project requirements.

Our Process

Project Review

We confirm the site location, drainage network, inspection requirements, access arrangements and required deliverables.

Site Preparation

Accessible manholes and drainage entry points are identified. Cleaning or other preparation may be required where obstructions restrict inspection.

CCTV Drainage Inspection

Specialist cameras are used to inspect accessible drainage sections and record visible defects, connections and pipe conditions.

Reporting

Inspection footage, observations and recorded defects are compiled into a clear report, with recommendations where further attention is required.

CCTV Drainage Standards & Compliance

Commercial CCTV drainage surveys may need to meet specific engineering, maintenance or utility-provider requirements.

Depending on the project, relevant requirements can include:

I.S. EN 13508-2 – Coding system for visual inspection of drains and sewers

Uisce Éireann drainage and build-over requirements where applicable

Project-specific inspection and reporting specifications

Relevant site safety and confined-space procedures

Our existing service information identifies operatives with Safe Pass, CSCS and confined-space training. Specific certifications and inspection requirements can be confirmed when agreeing the project scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is A Commercial CCTV Drain Survey?

A CCTV drain survey uses specialist camera equipment to inspect the internal condition of accessible underground drainage pipes. It helps identify visible defects, obstructions and other issues affecting drainage infrastructure.

What Problems Can Drain Surveys Detect?

CCTV inspections can identify root ingress, cracks, collapsed pipes, displaced joints, blockages, corrosion and other visible defects. Results depend on pipe accessibility, visibility and condition.

Can CCTV Drain Surveys Be Used Before Construction?

Yes. Pre-construction CCTV drainage surveys help engineers and contractors investigate existing drainage conditions before redevelopment, excavation or groundworks.

Do You Provide Reports?

Yes. Depending on the agreed scope, reports can include CCTV footage, photographs, defect logs, condition observations, drainage information and recommendations.

Can CCTV Surveys Help Locate Underground Drainage Pipes?

Yes. CCTV inspections can help establish pipe connectivity and identify accessible drainage routes. Additional locating equipment or surveying methods may be required for accurate positional mapping.

Do You Provide Surveys For Uisce Éireann Requirements?

Yes. We can provide drainage inspections to support relevant Uisce Éireann project requirements. The necessary inspection scope and reporting format should be confirmed before work begins.

What Size Drainage Pipes Can Be Inspected?

Our existing service information references camera systems suitable for pipes from approximately 50 mm to over 2,000 mm. Actual capability depends on equipment, access and pipe conditions.

How Long Does A Commercial Survey Take?

Survey duration depends on the drainage network's size, complexity, accessibility and condition. We review these factors before confirming the survey programme.

How Much Does A Commercial CCTV Drain Survey Cost?

Pricing depends on the site location, pipe lengths, accessibility, inspection complexity, equipment requirements and reporting needs. Providing available drainage drawings helps us prepare an accurate quotation.

What Information Do You Need Before Providing A Quote?

Useful information includes the site location, available drainage plans, approximate pipe lengths, required inspection scope, access arrangements, reporting requirements and project timeframe.
