As 80-90% of their workload comes from ‘works over’ work, this month we will look at Drainage TV and works over permissions, for those who need to build over or near a Watercare Sewer Line. Drainage TV Ltd are required to inspect the site both prior to building and after building is completed, and a works over is any activity being carried out over or in the vicinity of a wastewater pipe.

The reason that the works over permission is necessary is that construction or excavation activities may cause damage to Watercare’s assets and in some cases restrict their ability to maintain them in the future. For anyone wishing to carry out any construction works or excavations close to or over Watercare’s networks they will require approval from Watercare. Auckland Council also requires Watercare's works over approval before issuing a building consent. To find out more about whether they need a works over permission, intending builders should visit the Watercare website at https://www.watercare.co.nz/common-content/New Developments and Connections/Worksover/

If you are looking at building over or near drainage lines, Drainage TV Ltd can provide an in-depth CCTV drain survey and can provide the resultant DVD, a Log Sheet which includes details of the condition of the line, an as-built drawing, and they can even locate and mark out drains on the site, supplying a comprehensive Works Over Report.

Works Over Reports from Drainage TV Ltd comply with all council standards and all their operators are fully qualified and hold current Watercare Health and Safety Cards. Drainage TV Ltd lets you review your CCTV drainage inspections online, saving you both time and money.
