Our Advanced CCTV Drain Survey Vans are at the Forefront of Drain Surveying Technology

At Lanes, we position ourselves at the forefront of CCTV Drain Survey technology.


Our CCTV drain survey vans feature advanced digital data processing, which allows for faster and more effective survey data reporting.


Our drainage vehicles also offer enhanced equipment handling which supports the welfare of our drainage engineers.


How Do Our Drain Survey Vans Work?


Our CCTV survey vans carry a remote reel CCTV camera system as well as two robotic crawler cameras, one for narrow and standard pipes, the other for surveying pipes and culverts with diameters up to 1200mm.


The crawler camera reel carries an extended 300m cable, which can be detached and mounted on a trolley for carrying out crawler camera surveys in locations the vans cannot reach.


The robotic cameras are mounted on pull-out trays to make it easier and safer to load and unload them with the least amount of manual handling.


Each van has improved welfare facilities, including the latest hand sanitation and washing equipment, an electric drinks heater, and a microwave oven.


Our CCTV camera units are central to every service we deliver, including drain unblocking, culvert cleaning and pipe lining. This is because we want Lanes customers to always get the best service.


The enhanced digital communication capabilities of our CCTV survey vans can break down barriers between our field, technical and management teams, and between us and our customers.


This opens up a world of possibilities in terms of better decision-making that helps us to reduce our customers’ costs and their carbon footprints.


Centralised Processing of Survey Data


Our drain survey vans combine the most up-to-date WinCan drainage survey software and computer systems with the latest cloud-based data management capability.


The data is then centrally processed at our Lanes CCTV processing centre in Manchester.


The centralised processing of drain survey data makes our survey reporting faster, more comprehensive, and more sustainable.


Taking drain survey capabilities to the next level led us to showcase our CCTV survey vans at the National Drainage Show at ExCel in London.


Accelerating our Response Times to Survey Requests


Having our own centralised processing centre means that we can easily send data remotely between the drain survey vans and our CCTV processing centre in Manchester.


We can accelerate our response times to survey requests and greatly shorten, in most cases, the timescales for providing clients with survey reports.


Lanes technicians and customers are able to remotely view data and CCTV video footage as it is being recorded to guide field teams and speed up decision-making.


This provides clients with a faster and more responsive survey reporting system.
