How Much Does a Manhole Survey Cost?

A typical manhole survey costs between £200 and £500, depending on the complexity of the system and the specific requirements of the project.

The cost may vary based on factors such as access difficulty, the number of manholes inspected, and the type of equipment required, such as sonar mapping tools or CCTV inspection cameras. For surveys involving multiple underground levels, the use of confined space entry equipment may also affect pricing.

We adhere to the PAS 256 standards for utility mapping, ensuring accurate and compliant results. Projects for commercial properties often require more extensive data collection, which can impact costs.

Additional services, such as detailed reporting or follow-up inspections, may also influence the final price. For a precise quote tailored to your needs, please contact us to discuss your project.

What Does a Manhole Survey Involve?

Manhole surveys involve a detailed inspection process to assess the condition and integrity of manhole systems. At Swindon Surveys, we start by conducting a visual inspection, followed by methods like camera inspections using CCTV equipment to explore interior conditions, or sonar scanning for structural analysis, particularly in inaccessible areas.

We assess for blockages, corrosion from chemical exposures, structural damage, or signs of wear that could affect functionality and pose safety hazards. Our surveys adhere to relevant health and safety standards, ensuring compliance with regulations like the Sewerage Sector Guidance.

The data gathered, including measurements such as depth and diameter, helps us provide precise evaluations. We also provide detailed reports outlining any issues found, annotated with CAD diagrams, and recommend actions to resolve them, such as relining or repairs to meet BS EN 13508 standards.

How Long Does a Manhole Survey Take?

The time required for a manhole survey typically ranges from half a day to a full day, depending on the number and complexity of the manholes being examined. Simple check-ups with fewer manholes may only take a few hours, while larger, more complex systems could take a full day.

If more extensive issues are found requiring additional analysis or inspection methods, it may extend the duration.

During the survey, we use drain tracing dye and CCTV cameras to gather comprehensive data about each manhole's condition, identifying structural damage or blockages. For systems in commercial or industrial properties, additional hydrostatic tests might be necessary to assess water tightness.

We ensure our processes comply with industry standards such as the Underground Utilities Survey Accreditation.

We always aim to minimise disruption, ensuring efficient and accurate surveys. Contact us to discuss your specific project requirements or to schedule a survey.
