In the realm of infrastructure maintenance, there’s a hidden hero that often goes unnoticed – the CCTV survey. While it may not be as glamorous as a grand construction project, the meticulous work of inspecting foul and surface water drainage systems through extensive CCTV surveys plays an indispensable role in ensuring the longevity and functionality of our infrastructure. In this blog post, we delve into the importance of these surveys and how they can save both time and money in the long run.
The Unseen Hero: CCTV Drainage Surveys
Last week, our team embarked on another week of rigorous on-site work, focusing on conducting comprehensive CCTV surveys of foul and surface water drainage systems. These surveys are not just routine checks; they are a vital part of preserving the integrity of our infrastructure.
What’s at Stake?
The importance of these surveys cannot be overstated. They are akin to medical check-ups for drainage systems. Just as a doctor can detect underlying health issues before they become severe, a CCTV survey can identify defective pipework and potential problems in their early stages. The earlier these issues are spotted, the easier and more cost-effective they are to address.
No-Dig Technology: Patch Lining
One of the standout features of our recent survey was the identification of defective pipework that could be repaired using no-dig technology known as patch lining. This innovative approach allows us to fix problems without the need for extensive excavation work, which can be both disruptive and expensive. By addressing these issues promptly, we not only save on costs but also prevent potential disasters, such as flooding or facilities becoming unusable.
A Glimpse into the Future
Imagine if these issues were left unattended. Over time, minor defects can escalate into major problems, leading to the need for more significant and costly excavation repairs. The consequences could also include flooding, rendering areas unsafe or unusable. It’s clear that investing in regular CCTV surveys is a proactive measure that safeguards against these scenarios.
