CCTV Inspections
Get a Clear Picture Inside Your Pipes Without Digging
When something isn’t right with a pipeline, the last thing you want to do is excavate blindly hoping to find the problem. CCTV inspections give you a fast, accurate answer without lifting a single slab or breaking a single trench. At Locate X, the team uses high-definition camera technology to navigate the internal structure of pipes and conduits, delivering real-time footage of exactly what’s happening underground. Whether it’s a suspected blockage, a cracked pipe, root intrusion, or a general condition assessment, CCTV inspections pinpoint issues quickly so you can plan targeted, effective action.
Because CCTV inspections remove the guesswork entirely, they save significant time, money, and unnecessary disruption to your site. Whether you’re a homeowner on the Central Coast dealing with a recurring drainage issue, a builder in the Hunter Valley assessing pipeline infrastructure before construction, or a council contractor in Sydney managing ageing networks across a broad area, Locate X delivers the clarity you need to make informed decisions with confidence.

How CCTV Inspections Work
Every CCTV inspection begins with a brief consultation about your site conditions and the specific concerns you’d like investigated. Once the scope is clear, a trained Locate X technician inserts a waterproof, high-definition camera into the access point of the pipeline or conduit. Depending on the pipe diameter and layout, the camera is guided through the system using flexible push rods or a motorised crawler, navigating bends and junctions as it travels through the infrastructure.
Live footage is relayed to a monitoring system above ground, allowing the technician to identify faults, blockages, and defects in real time as the camera moves through the pipeline. After the inspection, Locate X provides both the recorded footage and a comprehensive written report outlining all findings, a condition assessment of the infrastructure, and clear recommendations for any further investigation or repair work required. Furthermore, because CCTV inspections integrate seamlessly with the broader range of Locate X services, they can be combined with utility locating, non-destructive excavation, and survey and mapping for a complete underground assessment from a single visit.
What Can CCTV Inspections Identify?
CCTV inspections are a versatile diagnostic tool that can reveal a wide range of issues inside your pipeline and conduit infrastructure. On a typical inspection, the Locate X team can identify:
- Blockages caused by debris, grease, sediment, or foreign objects.
- Tree root intrusions penetrating pipe joints or cracks.
- Cracked, broken, or collapsed pipe and conduit sections.
- Displaced or misaligned pipe joints.
- Corrosion or deterioration of pipe walls.
- Illegal connections or incorrect pipeline installations.
- Structural defects in older or ageing drainage and conduit infrastructure.
- Condition issues requiring further investigation or scheduled maintenance.
