Drainage TV can locate your drains on site for you, locating them and marking them out, and can provide a site plan showing the location of them. Depths of the drain can be provided as well.
Most Councils require CCTV inspections of drains (normally at the landowners/developers expense) in the following situations:
To determine the condition of an existing private drain (under 25 years old) when you are proposing to reuse this drain for a new building.
To locate both public and private drains where the exact alignment cannot be confirmed onsite.
At the completion of all works that result in drains being vested to Council to become public network – part of the approval process when proposing to adjust, upgrade, extend or amend the stormwater and wastewater networks
When construction works such as piling, heavy machinery, or excavation is to be carried out within close proximity (1.5 meters) of an existing drain – this will require CCTV to be carried out prior to the works and following completion of the works
