Pre-Adoption CCTV Survey
Hinton Road
Dorset
Project Overview
Clearline Drainage carried out a pre-adoption CCTV drainage survey of the newly constructed foul and surface water networks at a new-build development in Dorset, ahead of the systems being submitted for formal adoption.
Our Approach
Our engineer surveyed forty individual pipe sections across both the storm and foul networks by direct push-rod CCTV, verifying pipe materials, diameters and connections against the proposed design. Nominal jetting was carried out on site to confirm connectivity through the system, and all findings were coded to MSCC5 standard to produce a condition record suitable for the adoption submission.
What We Found
Clean, free-flowing PVC pipework throughout, with water levels at 0% across all surveyed runs
No root ingress, cracking, fracturing, displaced joints or debris accumulation identified
Correctly formed connections at all rainwater, lateral and soil/vent pipe junctions
A hydrobrake flow-control chamber confirmed in place on the storm network, consistent with a SuDS-managed discharge arrangement
One localised area of minor standing water noted, expected to self-clear under normal flow, and one short lateral in a catch pit not progressed
Outcome
With no significant structural or service defects identified, we confirmed the drainage systems as suitable for adoption as constructed, subject to the minor observations noted. The survey provided a complete, coded condition record for the client's adoption submission — giving the development team a clean route through the adoption process without further remedial works.
