Planning a new pool, deck, or home extension in the Moreton Bay region is an exciting venture. However, many homeowners encounter a common hurdle: building near council assets, like a Unitywater sewer main. This process, known as a “Build Over Asset” application, comes with strict requirements that can halt a project in its tracks if not handled correctly.

This was exactly the situation a recent client in Eatons Hill faced.

The Challenge: Meeting Strict Unitywater CCTV Standards

Our client was on the journey to building their dream backyard pool. The proposed location was near a Unitywater sewer pipe, triggering the need for a pre-construction condition assessment.

They had already engaged a contractor for a sewer inspection, but the survey was rejected by the council. The reason? The push-rod camera used did not meet the stringent standards required for Unitywater asset assessment. The project was stalled, and the client needed a certified solution, fast.

The Solution: Specialised Tracked CCTV Pipe Inspection

Pipe View Australia was engaged to provide a compliant Sewer CCTV survey. We immediately identified the shortcomings of the previous inspection and deployed our state-of-the-art tracked crawler camera system.

Unlike basic push-rod cameras, our robotic crawler provides a stable, high-definition view of the entire pipeline. The 360 pan-and-tilt camera head allows us to meticulously inspect every joint and connection, which is a non-negotiable requirement for a Build Over Asset report.

We provided the client with:

• A complete, high-definition video of the sewer main.

• A detailed condition report formatted to the nationally recognised WSA 05 standard, ready for direct submission to Unitywater.

• The peace of mind that their application was now supported by certified, compliant documentation.

The Result: Project Approved and Moving Forward

Within a day of our inspection, the client had the exact documentation they needed. Their Build Over Asset application could proceed, getting their pool project back on track without further delays. We are now on standby to complete the post-construction survey, ensuring a seamless compliance journey from start to finish.
