Manhole Surveys

Our team carries out manhole surveys to accurately record the condition, depth, and connectivity of manhole chambers as part of wider drainage and utility mapping projects. Using STC25 manhole cards alongside CCTV inspection, we capture detailed data on chamber construction, pipe connections, and invert levels, giving contractors and engineers a clear picture of the below-ground drainage network before design or construction work begins.

Our Manhole Survey Process

Our surveyors record each manhole using standardised STC25 cards, capturing dimensions, construction details, pipe connections, and depths to invert for every chamber surveyed. Where a fuller picture of the connecting pipework is needed, we combine this with CCTV drainage surveys, allowing us to provide a complete record of both the chambers and the pipe runs between them.
