Culvert Surveys
Professional culvert inspection and CCTV survey services to help assess accessible culverts, investigate problems and provide a clearer picture of visible internal condition.
Look inside
the culvert.
A culvert can be difficult to assess properly from the inlet or outlet alone. Internal conditions may not be obvious from an external inspection.
Where access and conditions allow, survey equipment can provide a visual inspection of accessible internal sections.
The aim is to gather useful evidence about visible condition before deciding whether cleaning, further investigation or remedial work should be considered.
Discuss Your Culvert
Start with
the condition.
A survey can be useful when there is a known problem, suspected restriction or a need to understand visible internal condition.
Restricted Flow
Investigate accessible areas where water flow appears restricted or performance has changed.
Visible Condition
Gather visual information about internal sections that cannot be adequately assessed from outside.
Possible Defects
Help identify visible signs of damage, obstruction or deterioration where present within the surveyed section.
Plan Next Steps
Use survey findings to help inform whether cleaning, further assessment or remedial work should be considered.
Don't work
from guesswork.
When the inside of a culvert cannot be adequately assessed from the outside, inspection equipment can help provide useful visual information.
A survey can help inspect accessible sections and provide evidence of visible conditions along the surveyed route.
What can be inspected will depend on factors such as access, dimensions, water levels, obstruction and the condition of the culvert.
A culvert survey is an inspection used to gather information about a culvert's condition. Suitable survey equipment can help provide a visual record of accessible sections and identify visible restrictions, defects or other conditions.
What can the
survey tell you?
Is flow being obstructed?
Inspection may reveal visible deposits, debris or other obstructions within the accessible surveyed section.
What does it look like inside?
Surveying provides visual evidence of accessible internal condition rather than relying solely on assumptions from external symptoms.
What happens next?
Findings can help inform whether cleaning, further assessment, monitoring or remedial work should be considered.
A view from
inside.
CCTV inspection can provide a practical way of visually assessing suitable accessible sections that cannot be adequately viewed externally.
Recorded visual information can help establish where visible restrictions or defects occur within the section that can be surveyed.
A survey does not automatically mean repair is required. Its value is in providing information that can support the next decision.
CCTV Survey Services Inspect before
you decide.
Understand The Issue
Establish why the culvert needs inspection and what information is being sought.
Assess Conditions
Consider suitable access and the conditions affecting the section to be surveyed.
Survey The Culvert
Use appropriate inspection equipment to visually examine accessible sections.
Consider Next Steps
Use the visible findings to help inform what, if any, further action should be considered.
Survey first.
Act second.
A culvert survey should help inform decisions, not predetermine them.
If inspection identifies a restriction, cleaning may be appropriate. If it identifies a visible defect, further assessment or remedial work may need to be considered.
Where the surveyed section appears satisfactory, the inspection itself can provide useful evidence about its visible condition at the time of the survey.

What is a culvert survey?
A culvert survey is an inspection used to gather information about a culvert's visible condition and accessible internal sections.
Why would a culvert need a CCTV survey?
CCTV inspection can be useful where internal condition cannot be adequately assessed from outside, or where a restriction, defect or other problem is suspected.
What can a culvert survey identify?
A survey may identify visible restrictions, deposits, damage or other conditions within the accessible section being inspected.
Can every culvert be surveyed with CCTV?
Not necessarily. Suitability depends on factors including access, dimensions, water levels, obstruction and the condition of the culvert.
Does a culvert survey mean repairs are needed?
No. The purpose of the survey is to gather information. Repair should be considered only where findings and circumstances justify remedial work.
What happens after a culvert survey?
Findings can help inform whether cleaning, further investigation, monitoring or remedial work should be considered.
