Stormwater Pipe CCTV Survey
Camden Council undertakes Stormwater Pipe CCTV (Closed-circuit Television) Inspection annually for assessing the condition and functionality of underground stormwater drainage systems. By utilising CCTV technology, trained professionals can remotely examine the interior of these pipes, providing vital insights without the need for costly and time-consuming excavation. The process involves the insertion of a specialised camera into the pipe, which captures high-quality images and videos, allowing experts to identify issues such as blockage, cracks, and structural damage.
Through CCTV inspections, Council can efficiently program repair works, minimise disruption to communities, and ensure the proper functioning of stormwater systems, ultimately contributing to the overall sustainability and effectiveness of infrastructure.
In the current financial year 2024-2025, Camden Council is conducting CCTV inspections in Oran Park, Leppington, Gregory Hills, Gledswood Hills and Catherine Field based on sampling approach. The implementation of these inspections aims to identify potential issues before they escalate, ensuring the safety and efficiency of the infrastructure.
