Camera inspection of stormwater, sewer and drainage lines across the Gold Coast, paired with local combination units for cleaning.
CCTV pipe inspection, also called drain camera inspection, puts a camera inside a line and records its real condition from one access point to the next. Gold Coast councils, builders, civil contractors and drainage businesses use it to find blockages, confirm defects and prove that new work has been built properly.
Inspection is run from the Gold Coast by the same regional team that cleans drains across the city. Cleaning and camera work are usually booked together, because a silted line cannot be reported on reliably.

In sandy coastal ground, fine material can work its way into drainage through cracked pipes and displaced joints, and stormwater lines on low-lying sites collect silt wherever flow slows. Over time that reduces capacity long before anyone notices a blockage.
A CCTV drain inspection shows where material is entering, where it is settling and whether the pipe itself has moved. That is the difference between cleaning a line every year and repairing the joint that keeps filling it.
The Gold Coast growth corridors produce a steady stream of new stormwater and sewer lines. Inspecting them before handover records their condition while the builder or civil contractor is still responsible, and picks up debris, damage and poor joints before an asset owner accepts them.
Where a council or authority requires the report in a particular format or coded to a specified standard, raise it at enquiry so the deliverable matches before the crew attends.
In older suburbs and the denser areas near the coast, new development often sits beside existing drainage. A pre-construction inspection records the line as it was, and a second run after the works shows whether anything changed. Both are digitally recorded.
Combination units clear a line with high-pressure jetting and recover the material by vacuum instead of flushing it further down the system. The camera then confirms the result. Where a defect has to be dug up for repair, hydro excavation can expose the pipe precisely where the footage located it.

Safety on site
Common causes are material entering through a defect such as a cracked pipe or a displaced joint, or silt settling where the grade flattens. A CCTV inspection after cleaning shows which it is, so the repair can target the cause.
Yes. Post-construction inspection of new stormwater and sewer lines is a standard use of CCTV. Tell us the reporting format your asset owner requires and it will be scoped in.
That is the usual arrangement. The line is jetted and the material recovered first, then the camera is run so the footage shows the pipe rather than the silt.

Written by the people who run this work, on how jobs are planned and what changes on site.

A camera in a pipe replaces guesswork with a record. CCTV inspection reports the location, depth, length and type of a drainage asset along with the faults inside it, which is what makes a maintenance or repair decision defensible.

A combination unit carries jetting and vacuum capability on the same truck, so a drainage line can be cut clean and the material recovered in one operation. Water recycling extends how long a crew can work before refilling.
