Commercial CCTV Stormwater Pipe Inspections

Benefits of Using CCTV for Stormwater Pipe Inspections
One of the many challenges property owners combat is identifying when stormwater pipe degradation has reached a point that requires serious action. CCTV video underground pipe inspections help property owners find the best time and approach for repair, guaranteeing a high ROI.

How CCTV Inspections Keep Underground Infrastructure Up to Code
Implementing extensive repairs too frequently can unnecessarily drive-up costs, but waiting too long can result in violation fines, system failure, and emergency repairs where expenses will accumulate quickly.
CCTV underground pipe inspections are performed by AQUALIS’ certified professionals by the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) to ensure underground infrastructure is fully functioning and up to code. CCTV pipe inspections can be used to inspect and identify problems in underground stormwater pipes as small as 2″ and up to 120” in a non-invasive manner.
Offering both stormwater line inspections and wastewater line inspections, AQUALIS can help property owners visualize their underground infrastructure to assess damages.
Why CCTV Is Ideal for Underground Pipe Inspections
Closed-circuit television (CCTV) technology uses remote-controlled crawling video cameras, or push-cable camera to display real-time footage on specific display monitors. Unlike broadcast television, CCTV signals are not openly transmitted allowing for private viewing.
This limited transmission is why CCTV technology is used in a variety of services including security surveillance, jumbotron sporting display, and in video underground pipe inspections.
For stormwater, CCTV is used to capture live images and video of pipe deficiencies in belowground stormwater or sanitary systems. Images and video can be captures and a report generated that details the current condition of sewer piping.
Swales are designed with soil that allows water to infiltrate the ground, providing ground water recharge. Many SCMs utilize sunlight to facilitate evaporation and vegetation to facilitate denitrification
