The Challenge
During a routine CCTV survey of a sewer network, our team identified significant defects: intruding pipe connections that posed a high risk of network blockages, leading to potential flooding and pollution. These defects required immediate attention to ensure the network’s functionality and readiness for handover to the client.
Our Approach
The client instructed us to address the issue without delay. Leveraging our expertise and advanced tools, we executed the following steps:
- Intruding Pipe Removal:
Our skilled team employed the IMS Robotic Cutter to precisely cut back the intruding connections. This advanced equipment allowed us to operate within the sewer network without the need for excavation, minimising disruption. - Jetting for Efficiency:
After cutting back the intruding connections, we used high-pressure jetting to clean the affected section, ensuring optimal flow and removing any residual debris. - Post-CCTV Survey:
To confirm the quality of our work, we conducted a post-CCTV survey. This step provided visual evidence of the completed repairs and validated that the sewer network was now free of blockages or risks.
The Results
- Zero Excavation: By using robotic cutting technology, we eliminated the need for intrusive excavation, saving time and reducing disruption to the surrounding environment.
- Minimal Disruption: Our approach ensured the site remained operational throughout the process.
- Comprehensive Reporting: The post-CCTV survey results were integrated into the final handover report, providing the client with full transparency and assurance of the network’s readiness.
- Proactive Defect Resolution: The defects were identified and addressed quickly, mitigating potential environmental and operational risks.
Conclusion
This project highlights CDNW’s commitment to utilising innovative solutions like the IMS Robotic Cutter to deliver efficient, non-invasive, and environmentally conscious services. Our skilled team ensured the sewer network was repaired and fully operational, ready for handover with minimal impact on the surrounding area.
