CCTV Drainage Survey For Storm and Combined Sewer Overflow in Ireland

As the weather models point towards a deep area of low pressure heading for Ireland, the forecasts are all about strong winds and heavy rain. And this leads us to the aftermath of stormwater overflow (SWO) and combined sewer overflow (CSO).

 

These discharges are a bigger problem than simple waterlogging, since the excess wastewater goes directly into the rivers and natural water bodies, mixing with groundwater. These contaminants can pose a serious threat to the health and wellbeing of the people since groundwater is the primary source of drinking water in Ireland.

 

Rapid remediation is integral for a safer future for Ireland since this is a recurrent problem and the population of Irish cities are burgeoning. The constant accumulation of groundwater pollution can lead to more adverse threats and health hazards in the future. So the Government is taking immediate action.

 

 

CCTV Drainage Survey and Other Parameters for Gathering Comprehensive Performance Data

 

 Sewer monitoring combined with hydraulic models is frequently used to estimate CSO impacts and test alternative remediation strategies. But it is easier said than done because the system is prohibitively priced.

 

On the whole, this system helps engineers obtain comprehensive data of the underground assets and their performance. The present condition of the drainage sewerage and catchment area is the key data to determining the longevity of it, and how soon it needs a change or repair. Signs of infiltration, anomalies, misalignment in underground assets, cross-connections, and misuse are common survey findings. The following are the core survey parameters that help get the whole picture:

 


●       CCTV Survey of Sewers

●       Impermeable Area Studies Survey

●       Detailed Manhole survey

●       Pump Station Audits

●       Flow and Load Inspection

●       Topographical surveys

 

Past the initial survey, auditors help organizations improve and develop remediation plans. CCTV footage, digital files or DVDs, maps, and a comprehensive model of the catchment area are all included in the final reports.

 

 

SWO/CSO Surveys Are Expensive in Ireland

 

SWO and CSO impacts can lead to highly expensive remediation needs. Therefore, early assessment and prevention measures are the standard way to get it done in a realistic sense. The monitoring part does half the job by identifying nuisance CSOs and attending to the core factors of structures and infrastructure that are subject to public complaint.

 

Other pollutant sources in the catchment, as well as a lack of CSO monitoring data, complicated the assessment of impacts on chemical and ecological status. Using a geographical information systems (GIS) model, a methodology was developed to prioritise the monitoring of problematic CSOs on a national scale.

 

Typically drain CCTV Surveysin Cork and other big cities in Ireland would cost around €250 per hour +VAT for extensive SWO and CSO Surveys. And combined with other resources the cost can still be affordable for organisations if they use the most valuable force of making a timely decision.

How Top Hat Sewer Lateral Repair Works

Image
  When it comes to drainage systems and water main maintenance, this is the moment of “top hat” technologies. Today, the top hat techniques and technologies apply for a broad range of jobs including sewer upgrading, replacement, and cleaning. This is not only on-trend but crucial for improved efficiency and needs of the hour. The same goes for sewer lateral connection repairs. If you are at the far end of appointing a drainage services provider in Ireland, here’s an overview of the working process. What Is Top Hat Sewer Lateral Repair   In order to seal the connection between the pipe and the sewer or lateral drain and make it leak-proof, a liner is used. The Top Hat liner looks exactly like a top hat, which is made of resin-impregnated, fiberglass laminate, and the shape makes it perfect to wrap the pipeline and   fit within the lateral service connection. For lateral drain repairing projects, Top Hat lining is often combined with CIPP Lining, but it can be used a...

Understanding Underground Pollution Survey - Procedures, Parameters And Trends

Image
  From Industrial Units to Residential pipelines, all these structures are prone to get cross-connected to surface water drainage systems, resulting in the confluence of foul water and wastewater with that of outfall streams that may be natural water bodies or river and ultimately the oceans. With an end-to-end Pollution Survey, it is probable to inspect the contamination level and possible to take valid steps for Waste Water Treatment Compliance. Here is an overview of how pollution surveys work for Wastewater Treatment purposes, what are the parameters and current trends. Common Parameters For Underground Pollution Survey     So What Really Is Considered As Underground Pollution? It is denoted by the wide range of harmful substances including chemicals, household and untreated wastes, agricultural wastewater etc that travel through underground pipelines and enter the Groundwater. In Ireland, at least 20% of the drinking water supply is sourced from Groundwater....

Underground Surveying & Manhole Benching – The Key To Drain Blocking

Image
Did you know that drainage inspections are an essential part of maintaining sewer systems? Well, the ideal way to maintain a healthy drainage system is through prevention. And, undertaking a professional drain survey can help prevent sewer problems from worsening. Using specialist underground surveying is, therefore, important to examine and inspect your drains. Manholes are an indispensable part of drains, giving clear access points to the underground pipes and allowing surveys to be carried out above the ground to inspect the condition of pipes. Sewer surveys are used for assessing the situation of a drainage system through the utilisation of a closed-circuit television camera. Once they gain access to your drains, the engineer will insert a CCTV camera inside to capture real-time drain inspection footage. After assessing the footage, they can produce a drain camera survey report with recommendations. Here’s an insight into all you need to know about manhole bench and drain surveys....
