Drainage Services for Construction & Development Projects Across Scotland
Envirotech Drainage Solutions provides specialist drainage surveys, investigations, cleaning and repairs for construction and development projects across Scotland. We help developers, main contractors, engineering teams and consultants understand existing drainage systems before work starts and record their condition through to project completion.
Our services include pre- and post-construction CCTV drainage surveys, network investigations, GPS/GNSS mapping, specialist drain cleaning, repairs and agreed technical reporting.
Drainage Support From Pre-Construction to Handover
Early drainage investigations can reduce uncertainty about underground assets before excavation, piling, roadworks or design changes. During construction, our engineers can clean, investigate and repair accessible drainage, with CCTV evidence available for completion and handover.
Pre-Construction Surveys & Investigations
Establish existing drainage routes, connectivity and visible pipe condition before works commence.
- Pre-works CCTV sewer condition surveys
- Sonde tracing, dye testing and connectivity checks
- Manhole and drainage asset identification
- GPS/GNSS mapping and approximate route observations
- Recorded defects and project-stage reporting
Construction Works & Handover
Support ongoing works and record accessible drainage condition at the agreed inspection stages.
- Construction debris, silt and drainage blockage clearance
- Jet-vac support and specialist pipe cleaning
- Investigations and localised drainage repairs
- Post-works CCTV surveying and defect recording
- Condition evidence for completion and adoption discussions
Construction Drainage Surveys and Site Work in Action
Reliable Drainage Evidence Through Every Project Stage
Buried drainage routes, defects and undocumented connections can affect construction sequencing, proposed levels and protection of existing infrastructure. Our engineers work alongside site teams to gather practical evidence, document what is accessible and report any limitations affecting the investigation.
Pre-Works Condition Evidence
Record accessible sewer condition before groundworks, excavation or nearby construction activities begin.
Tracing and Asset Verification
Combine CCTV, dye testing, sonde tracing and GNSS observations to help locate existing connections and assets.
Handover and Reporting
Provide survey footage, defect photographs and agreed technical records to support further inspections and project close-out.
Drainage Services for Construction & Development
Specialist support before, during and after construction, from identifying the existing drainage network to cleaning, repairs and documented final inspections.
CCTV, dye testing and sonde tracing to identify accessible routes, connections, flow directions and potential conflicts with planned works.
Baseline CCTV surveys record the visible condition of existing drains before excavation, piling, roadworks or other construction activities.
Record drainage routes, chambers and asset locations using suitable tracing methods, level observations and GNSS surveying where required.
High-pressure water jetting, jet-vac support and mechanical cleaning to remove silt, rubble and other deposits before survey or handover.
Localised patch lining, relining, robotic cutting and excavated repairs for defects found during construction, with CCTV verification when agreed.
Final CCTV surveys, defect photographs and reports documenting the visible condition of accessible drainage after construction.
A Clear Process From Survey Brief to Handover
We agree the investigation scope and required deliverables so site teams receive practical evidence and clear reporting at each stage.
Review the Brief
Confirm drawings, drainage records, the site programme, access arrangements and the required survey or cleaning scope.
Survey, Clean or Repair
Complete agreed CCTV inspections, tracing, jetting, asset mapping or repairs using appropriate site controls.
Record Findings
Log the visible pipe condition, defects, locations, incomplete sections and any limitations to survey access.
Report and Handover
Supply agreed footage, survey records, photographs, asset information and recommended follow-on actions.
Project Example: Housing Development Drainage Cleaning & Adoption Works in Crieff
Envirotech supported a new housing development in Crieff with jet-vac drainage cleaning, CCTV inspections and connectivity checks ahead of the next stage of handover and the drainage adoption process.
Cleaning removed accessible silt and construction-related debris, allowing more effective CCTV inspection of foul and surface-water drainage. Recorded findings and connection checks provided the development team with supporting evidence and identified any further work requiring attention.

Construction & Development Drainage FAQs
Common questions about surveys before works, drainage network cleaning and the records available for project completion.
Can you survey drainage before construction starts?
Yes. We can carry out CCTV condition inspections, tracing, connectivity checks and asset mapping of accessible drainage to support construction planning and baseline condition records.
Can you support drainage cleaning and adoption preparation?
We can clean accessible foul and surface-water drains, arrange appropriate jet-vac support and complete CCTV inspections and connection checks. Final adoption and compliance decisions remain with the relevant authority.
What reporting can be provided for handover?
Depending on the scope, outputs can include CCTV footage, WinCan reports, photographs, defect observations, asset information and drainage plans. We clearly identify any sections that could not be surveyed and any further recommendations.
