Recently many people have commented that the UK government’s plans for CCTV Drainage Surveys have not gone through the scrutiny that they should have, perhaps this is because we are not as sure of what the results of such a survey would be. We know that CCTV is a great tool for catching criminals and we also know that it can be very useful in the maintenance of our drainage systems. CCTV Drainage Surveys from companies like Wilkinson Environmental help improve the drainage in many areas around the UK.
As to whether or not any benefits will be felt in your area? Well, it is difficult to say, because there are so many things to consider. However it is thought that if we look at the drainage systems of London, for instance, we will see that many of these drainage systems are now fitted with CCTV cameras. This is thought to be because the need for CCTV is now so great that no other system could match its efficiency at detecting blockages.. It was also pointed out that most CCTV cameras do not get wet and are waterproof so they need little maintenance.
However, even though drainage systems can benefit from CCTV it is still something that we will all have to wait and see. If you are looking to get a CCTV Drainage Survey done then it is important that you look at all of your options very carefully because this can end up costing quite a bit of money when it needn’t.
