Bristol Water Section 104 Surveys

If you’re building new sewers as part of a development within the Bristol Water area, a Section 104 agreement determines whether those sewers will ultimately be adopted and maintained by the water company. Subvision Surveys carries out the drainage survey work that supports this process, helping developers move through Bristol Water’s requirements without unnecessary delay.

Section 104 adoption timescales across the industry can commonly run to 18 to 36 months from initial application to final adoption, with development finance effectively sitting idle while holding costs continue to build. Delays are frequently caused by defects identified during inspection that require remedial work before a system can pass, meaning accurate survey data early in the process is one of the most direct ways to avoid unnecessary time added to an already lengthy timeline.

Across the industry, camera surveys identifying defects, followed by any necessary remedial works, are a standard part of passing inspection before a water company will proceed with adoption. Our CCTV drainage surveys, using Wincan software for clear, industry-standard reporting, are built to support exactly this kind of defect identification, giving you a documented basis for any remedial work needed before submission.
