PROJECT 02 / CONSULTANCY & ENGINEERING / CUMBERNAULD
900mm Surface Water Sewer Pre-Construction Survey
Envirotech Drainage Solutions was appointed by a consultancy client to undertake a pre-construction CCTV condition survey of an existing 900mm surface water sewer in Cumbernauld.
The inspection was required to provide a clear record of the sewer condition before construction works commenced, giving the project team and Scottish Water supporting evidence of the condition of the existing asset at the pre-works stage.

900 mm sewer CCTV condition survey
THE CHALLENGE
Project Overview
The existing 900mm surface water sewer passed through or within the influence of planned construction activity and required a documented condition assessment before works progressed.
Envirotech carried out a detailed CCTV inspection of the accessible sewer, recording the internal condition of the pipework and providing the consultancy client with survey footage and a formal report.
Establishing the condition of the sewer before construction created an important reference point for the project and provided evidence of the asset condition before any nearby construction activity took place.
THE BRIEF
Scope Of Works
The works included:
- Pre-construction CCTV inspection of the 900mm surface water sewer
- Inspection of accessible sections of the existing drainage asset
- Recording of the internal pipe condition
- Identification and recording of visible defects or notable observations
- Survey footage of the inspected sewer
- Condition reporting for the consultancy client
- Pipe references and survey information
- Clear documentation of the sewer condition prior to construction
- Supporting evidence for submission and review by Scottish Water
ON SITE / TECHNICAL DELIVERY
Large Diameter CCTV Survey & Reporting
The 900mm surface water sewer required specialist CCTV inspection equipment suitable for large-diameter drainage infrastructure. The survey was undertaken systematically to create a clear visual record of the accessible pipework and identify any visible defects, restrictions or notable observations before construction works began.
Following completion of the inspection, the recorded footage and survey information were reviewed and compiled into a condition report for the consultancy client. The report documented the surveyed section, pipe condition and observations recorded during the inspection. No significant visible defects were identified within the accessible section of the 900mm surface water sewer, providing the client with clear pre-construction evidence of the asset condition for submission to Scottish Water.
By completing the survey before construction commenced, the project team established a documented baseline that could be referenced during or following the wider development works.
THE RESULT
Project Outcome
The completed survey provided the consultancy client with a documented pre-construction record of the existing 900mm surface water sewer and clear supporting evidence for Scottish Water. CCTV footage and survey reporting confirmed the visible internal condition of the inspected sewer at the time of the survey, with no significant defects identified within the accessible section.
Establishing this baseline before construction was particularly important because it allowed the existing condition of the asset to be clearly recorded before nearby works commenced. The completed documentation could therefore be referenced should any future questions arise regarding the condition of the sewer during or following construction.
By combining large-diameter CCTV inspection with clear condition reporting, Envirotech provided the project team with the evidence required to support construction planning, stakeholder communication and the protection of existing drainage infrastructure.
