PROJECT APPLICATION
ASK
Task
Inspect and map a property’s sewer system prior to excavation.
PROBLEM
- There were no updated records of the property’s wastewater system
- The property was decades old, and the buried infrastructure was a complex mix of current and abandoned lines
- A utility strike during excavation would derail the project’s schedule and budget
Solution
- GPRS utilized our NASSCO-certified Video Pipe Inspection services to inspect and map the property’s sewer system
- Remote-controlled sewer inspection rovers equipped with sondes allowed for mapping buried infrastructure from the surface at the same time the utility is being inspected for defects such as cross bores
- GPRS’ Project Manager discovered that a gas line had been inadvertently bored through a sewer lateral
Benefits
- By locating this cross bore, GPRS ensured that the property owner could make the necessary repairs to guarantee the safety of everyone in the area
- The accurate, complete map of the property’s wastewater system created through this inspection will mitigate the risk of cross bores being created during future directional drilling projects
