Drains Fast

03/10/2026

We recently had the opportunity to carry out a CCTV drainage survey for HARIBO as part of the development of their new factory.

Using specialist CCTV drainage inspection equipment, we surveyed the drainage network to assess the condition and layout of the existing and newly installed systems, helping provide valuable information for the ongoing construction works.

It’s always great to be involved in large-scale projects like this and to see the work taking shape behind the scenes. 👷‍♂️📹

A fantastic project to be part of.

If you require CCTV drainage surveys, drainage inspections or drainage condition reports for a construction or commercial project, feel free to get in touch.

A busy few days at the fantastic Hoar Cross Hall Spa & Hotel, carrying out high-pressure water jetting and detailed drain surveying.

The work has allowed us to map the entire drainage system across the site, creating a comprehensive drainage plan to support future maintenance, servicing and preventative works.

A busy few days working across Wales, carrying out CCTV drainage surveys and detailed drainage mapping in conjunction with Welsh Water.

The works have involved undertaking post-construction drainage surveys following the installation of new water mains, which have been installed in close proximity to the existing main sewer network.

Using CCTV survey equipment, we’ve been inspecting the drainage systems to assess the condition, confirm connections and routes, and accurately map the existing infrastructure. These surveys provide valuable information to help ensure the newly installed water mains and surrounding drainage network are properly documented and that any potential issues or conflicts can be identified.

It’s been a challenging but rewarding few days on site, working alongside Welsh Water and other teams to gather accurate survey data and provide a clear picture of the underground drainage infrastructure.

Another successful project completed, with plenty more work ahead! 🚧📍

Another commercial drainage survey completed today, this time at a site that’s being prepared for a brand-new Starbucks. ☕

Using our crawler CCTV camera system, we carried out a full inspection of the underground drainage network to check the condition of the pipework before construction gets underway.

These surveys are an important part of the development process, helping to identify any issues such as cracks, displaced joints, root ingress, blockages, or other defects that could cause problems later on. Catching these issues early can save developers a lot of time, money, and disruption once building work starts.

The crawler camera allows us to inspect larger diameter pipes in detail, providing clear footage and accurate reporting on the condition of the drainage system below ground.

It’s always interesting being involved at the early stages of a project and seeing what’s hidden beneath the surface before a site is transformed into something completely new.

Looking forward to watching this development take shape over the coming months. 👌

A recent call-out to Tixall Hall Gatehouse—what an incredible place to work. The building has undergone impressive restoration, bringing this once run-down historic structure back to life.

We carried out a full drainage survey in preparation for upcoming internal and external works. Always satisfying to be part of a project that helps preserve something with so much character.

And of course… we had a slightly unusual audience keeping a close eye on us throughout 🐄
