Underground Vision (UK) Ltd.

The principal activities of Underground Vision (UK) are CCTV (closed circuit television) pipe surveys, drain unblocking and cleaning relating to all utilities, commercial, residential, domestic, water authorities and various other sectors. The company employs highly experienced Jet-Vac Operators as well as OS20x, OS19x, OS30x and OSX21x operators who are fully conversant with the UK third and fourth edition pipe inspection manual. CCTV surveys are carried out to help make an accurate evaluation on all household drainage systems as looking at the inside of drains is an ideal way of finding any structural damage like cracks, open joints, holes, and possible collapsed drains. When finding those hidden problems within drains, the company is then able to pinpoint accurately, above ground, all of the damaged sections of pipe, saving time and money on unnecessary and costly excavations. Experienced WRc and utilities technicians are used to prepare digital video and in-depth electronic reports that detail any faults or damage within the drainage system. Recommendations are then made for any repair works or problem solving required for your drains. In addition, the company uses advanced software for the evaluation and archiving of pipeline assets and pipe inspection results. Full diagnostic data video, reports and photos can be provided on digital MPEG or DVD accompanied by still images with electronic format that can be emailed directly to the client.
