ASSET MAPPING DRAINAGE SERVICE
 

What Is Drainage Asset Mapping?

Asset mapping is the process of surveying, identifying and recording the layout, condition and connections of underground drainage and utility systems. It creates a visual and digital record of your site’s drainage network, giving you the information needed to plan future works safely and efficiently.

​

We use advanced CCTV and surveying equipment to locate and map everything from foul and surface water systems to manholes, pipe runs, and drainage connections. This service is critical in avoiding unnecessary excavation, planning build overs, and supporting compliance with local authority requirements.

​

Our Drainage Mapping Process

We begin by carrying out a full CCTV drainage survey to inspect and trace pipe routes. Using state-of-the-art technology such as crawler cameras, push-rod systems and sonde tracing tools, we collect accurate location data and create detailed digital records of your drainage network.

​

All our asset maps include key data such as pipe diameters, depths, directions of flow and material types. This information can be delivered in CAD or GIS-compatible formats, and we also provide written reports and schematics tailored to your needs.

​

Whether your site is small or large, newly developed or decades old, our team will identify and map all critical drainage infrastructure clearly and efficiently.

​

Why Is Asset Mapping Important?

Accurate asset mapping is essential for:

• Preventing accidental damage during excavation or development

• Supporting design and planning applications

• Confirming system capacity before upgrades or new connections

• Complying with regulations and build over requirements

• Helping emergency response teams understand system layouts

For developers, engineers, architects and local authorities, asset mapping provides a complete picture of the site’s underground infrastructure and eliminates guesswork when making important decisions.
