The project

What was installed.
Where it was installed.

Brookes Geospatial completed a targeted drainage adoption survey in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, providing an accurate record of the installed drainage network.

The survey recorded relevant chamber positions, cover and invert levels, pipework, drainage connections and surrounding surface information so the completed installation could be represented clearly within a coordinated as-built drawing.

Both foul and surface water drainage were incorporated into the survey, with the finished CAD drawing showing the network in context with kerbs, carriageway features, boundaries and surveyed site levels.

Below ground

Measured, checked
and documented.

Adoption survey information needs to reflect the drainage infrastructure that is physically present on site.

Chamber observations were recorded alongside measured positions and levels, giving the final drawing both spatial accuracy and useful engineering context.

Site photography provides a visual record of chamber layouts and connections, while the CAD survey brings the individual observations together into one coordinated dataset.

Survey workflow

From chamber inspection
to coordinated CAD.

01

Scope review

The required drainage extent and adoption information were confirmed before fieldwork.

02

Field survey

Drainage features and surrounding site detail were surveyed within a consistent control framework.

03

Chamber data

Relevant cover levels, invert levels, pipe sizes, connections and chamber observations were recorded.

04

CAD production

The measured information was coordinated into a clear as-built drainage drawing for onward project use.

Survey output

One coordinated
drainage record.

The finished survey combines drainage information with relevant topographical detail, helping the network be understood in relation to the completed highway and surrounding site.

The survey

Drainage data in
its site context.

The drawing provides more than a series of chamber coordinates. It records how the drainage network relates to the surrounding constructed environment.

Surface water and foul drainage are differentiated within the CAD output, with chamber references, level information and pipe data shown alongside kerbs, carriageway edges and surveyed ground levels.

This produces a practical as-built record that can be used alongside the wider technical documentation required during drainage adoption and project handover.

Survey information

What we can
record.

The survey scope can be tailored to the information required by the client, contractor, consultant or adopting authority.

01
Chamber Positions

Accurate surveyed locations tied into the wider site record.

02
Cover Levels

Cover levels recorded as part of the chamber survey information.

03
Invert Levels

Measured invert information used to describe the drainage network vertically.

04
Pipe Sizes & Connections

Relevant pipe diameters and chamber connections represented within the survey data.

05
Surface & Foul Drainage

Separate drainage systems clearly differentiated within the CAD output.

06
Surrounding Topography

Kerbs, highway features, boundaries and levels added where required for context.

07
Chamber Photography

A useful visual record of chamber arrangements and connections.

08
CAD As-Built Drawing

A coordinated drawing prepared for onward design, handover and adoption use.

Additional capability

CCTV drainage
inspection available.

Where survey information alone is not enough, CCTV inspection can be provided alongside the measured drainage survey.

This can help verify internal pipe condition, investigate defects and provide additional evidence of connections — giving the project team a more complete record of the network.

01 Condition Additional visual evidence from within the drainage run.
02 Connections Useful where internal routes or incoming connections require confirmation.
03 Evidence Survey and inspection information brought together for adoption, handover or investigation.

The result

A clear record of
the installed network.

The completed survey gives the project team a measured drainage record based on what was present on site at the time of survey.

Combining drainage information, chamber observations and surrounding topographical detail makes the final drawing easier to interpret and more useful for adoption and handover.
