Clear Surveys provides a nationwide on-site data capture capability for local authorities, utilities companies, industrial and private sector clients. Positional, level, connectivity and other attribute data is gathered from existing sewerage and drainage networks to provide:

  • Accurate manhole surveys
  • Ancillary surveys for overflows and detention tanks, etc
  • Pumping station surveys and drop tests
  • Sewage Treatment Works surveys
  • Connectivity tracing and validation
  • Production of digital plans, including digitisation of existing data
  • Detailed drawings of specific structures
  • Conventional topographic and line and level surveys
  • GPS surveys
  • Pollution identification and tracing

Scale drawings of particular features such as combined sewer overflows, pumping station wet wells and wastewater treatment works can be produced and provided in digital formats, such as AutoCAD, to suit the client's needs. Positional data can be obtained using GPS equipment and conventional topographic surveys are also undertaken.

Drainage systems can be traced using a variety of methods to confirm pipeline routes, connectivity and to investigate cross-connections. In addition, sources of pollution can be traced and identified through physical, chemical and laboratory testing.

Data can be provided in GIS format, relative to OS mapping, with asset attributes included in the underlying database. The data set can be imported into the client's data management system or modelling software as required.

Experienced hydraulic modellers who recognise the importance of thorough and accurate data collection lead Clear Surveys teams. This is a particular advantage where data is being used to build sewer models as the surveyor is able to record features and provide additional comments on the operational condition of the asset from a modelling perspective.

Our survey teams are fully trained and experienced in confined space entry procedures, street works operations and safe working practices.
