CCTV Pipe & Drain Inspection Services — Victoria

HD video inspection of underground pipes and drainage infrastructure. We document internal pipe condition — blockages, structural defects, joint displacement, root intrusion — without excavation.

What Is CCTV Pipe Inspection?

CCTV inspection uses a camera mounted on a push-rod or robotic crawler to inspect the internal condition of underground pipes and drains in real time — without breaking ground.

Our technicians access the pipe via existing chambers or rodding points and capture HD video with timestamped condition logging. The output is a clear, structured condition report your team can act on.

As part of the HR Surveyors group, we can integrate CCTV inspection data with utility surveying and subsurface mapping deliverables — providing a complete picture of your drainage infrastructure in a single workflow.

We inspect:

  • Stormwater drains and culverts
  • Sewer mains and service laterals
  • Council and private drainage assets
  • Pre-purchase drainage due diligence
  • Construction dilapidation baseline surveys
  • Defect investigation and fault location
  • Asset condition audits for councils and utilities

How It Works

Four steps from site mobilisation to a condition report you can use.

01

Site Assessment

We review access points, pipe diameter, depth, and any known conditions before mobilising to site.

02

Camera Deployment

Our technicians deploy push-rod or robotic crawlers via existing access chambers or rodding points — no excavation required.

03

HD Video Capture

The pipe is inspected at measured intervals with continuous HD video recording and real-time condition logging.

04

Condition Report Delivery

You receive a full condition report with video, defect notation, and recommendations — ready for design or asset management decisions.

What You Receive

Every inspection includes documentation ready for asset management, design, or insurance purposes.

HD Video Footage

Full-length internal video of the inspected pipe, timestamped and ready to review or archive.

Condition Report

Structured defect notation covering structural issues, blockages, root intrusion, joint displacement, and sediment build-up.

Location & Depth Data

Pipe position, invert levels, and access point locations integrated with your site's coordinate system on request.

CCTV Inspection FAQs

What types of pipes can be inspected by CCTV? +

Our CCTV inspection equipment handles a wide range of pipe types and materials including PVC, concrete, clay, cast iron, and HDPE. We inspect stormwater drains, sewer mains, culverts, and service laterals. Contact our team to discuss your specific pipe diameter and access requirements.

What is included in a CCTV inspection report? +

Each inspection includes HD video footage of the internal pipe condition, timestamped defect notation, pipe location and depth, and a written condition summary. Reports document structural defects, blockages, root intrusion, joint displacement, and any issues requiring remediation. Contact HR Utilities to discuss report format requirements for your project.

When is a CCTV pipe inspection required? +

CCTV inspections are typically required before major civil or construction works to baseline existing drainage conditions, during pre-purchase due diligence, for council asset condition audits, when investigating drainage faults or blockages, and as part of dilapidation surveys for adjacent construction.

Do you provide CCTV inspections in Geelong and regional Victoria? +

Yes. HR Utilities operates from offices in Huntingdale (Melbourne) and Geelong, providing CCTV inspection services across metropolitan Melbourne, Geelong, and broader Victoria. Contact our team to confirm availability for your location.
