At CDNW, we pride ourselves on delivering tailored solutions for complex surveying challenges. Our recent project for a valued client in Wigan showcases our expertise and commitment to precision. The client, a developer, faced a significant hurdle: their current site included a culverted watercourse whose exact location was uncertain. This information was critical for developing an effective piling plan.
The Challenge
Culverted watercourses present unique difficulties for standard crawler CCTV setups. The usual approach is hindered by:
- Large siltation deposits: These can obstruct camera movement and visibility.
- General rock and stone debris: This complicates navigation and accurate assessment.
- Deeper flows: These can obscure critical structural elements.
Given these obstacles, we needed a more sophisticated approach to ensure accurate and comprehensive surveying.
Our Solution: The Floating CCTV Rig System
To overcome these challenges, we deployed our floating CCTV rig system. This innovative setup allowed us to:
- Utilise a deep sewer sonde: This device helped locate the camera above ground.
- Plot regular intervals using GPS: This ensured precise mapping and location tracking.
The Process
Our method involved plotting the exact location of the culverted watercourse at regular intervals. By combining the floating CCTV rig system with GPS technology, we provided our client with a detailed and accurate CAD drainage map. This map is crucial for developing a piling plan that avoids any risk of damage to the culvert structure.
Benefits for the Client
The comprehensive CAD drainage map we supplied ensures that our client’s piling plan can proceed without risking damage to the culvert. This precision is essential to prevent:
Expensive and complex repairs: Avoiding damage eliminates the need for costly fixes. - Unwanted project delays: Accurate mapping helps keep the project on schedule.
Conclusion
Our recent work in Wigan is a testament to CDNWS’s dedication to innovative solutions and client satisfaction. By leveraging advanced technology and expert techniques, we ensure that our clients can move forward with confidence, knowing that every aspect of their project is thoroughly assessed and planned. If you’re facing a challenging survey scenario, CDNW has the expertise and technology to deliver the precise results you need.
