Reece Engineering - CCTV Surveying

Cheaper and easier than digging out, exposing and breaking into a drain, CCTV drain surveys are now the preferred method of investigating structural conditions. Whether you are looking to establish the cause of frequent blockages, or investigate subsidence or other structural movement, a CCTV drain survey will prove invaluable.

Reece Engineering provides CCTV Surveying of drainage systems that are recordable on any format, full colour, self levelling state of the art technology.

There are many different types of structural defects that can occur in underground pipe work and which CCTV can reveal. Some examples are pictured below.

	Defect: fractured pipe Cause: Pressure above ground Consequences: Cracks or fractures in drains leak water which destabilises the surrounding soil. This will result in further damage to the drain and even subsidence to buildings near by.
	Defect: collapsed drain Cause: Several possible causes Consequences: Drain becomes unusable with high likelihood of frequent blockages, environmental damage, and building subsidence.
	Defect: tree roots Cause: Roots seeking moisture Consequences: Materials flowing through the drain will snag on the roots causing continual blockages. Roots dislodge or crack the drain resulting in leakage and further damage.
