The water and drainage industry has had to go through a number of changes over the past few years as it has had to upgrade the networks that were badly in need of repair. In order to take on big projects and work as efficiently as possible, engineers have had to adapt to new methods of working.
This can only be beneficial for customers as by making use of the latest technologies such as CCTV drain surveys, detailed inspections can now be produced on a drain, giving the client more of an idea as to exactly what has been going on.
More importantly though, they can see for themselves exactly what has happened and can trust the drainage contractor in their recommendations for essential work that may need to be done. Even areas that might have proved difficult to access in the past, resulting in higher fees for the employment of drain services, can now be reached using this specialist camera equipment.
Trenchless technology is an excellent example of what is now part of a drain team’s arsenal of equipment. They can often replace pipes and carry out repairs without having to dig up the area to achieve this feat.
