Cross Bore & Sewer Lateral Inspections

Utility lines installed from horizontal drilling methods dating back several decades have created a significant national concern over public safety. The danger posed by a natural gas line intersecting with another underground utility is tremendous. Identifying these problems is now becoming a standard process nationwide. To prevent the risk of creating more cross boring of underground facilities and lines, a complete inspection is necessary for current construction projects.

 

The purpose of Closed Circuit Television Inspection (CCTV) is to determine:

• Structural condition
• Location of O&M and structural defects
• Evidence of Inflow & Infiltration (I/I)
• Identify size and material of construction
• Locate service laterals
• Locate obstructions, such as roots, grease, debris, and cross bores

 

URG also has a jet truck, to help clean sanitary lines ahead of our camera system:

• Hard and soft drain obstruction cutting
• Bottom bombing
• Foam applications for root herbicide
