Drain Mapping Surveys
Underground & Overground Asset Mapping
Our in-house Drain Mapping departments at NRC WWS are responsible for the unobtrusive collection, analysis, and management of mapping survey data for highways, civil, and construction drainage assets.
What is Drain Mapping?
Drain mapping is the process of identifying and documenting the layout, location, and condition of a drainage network, including both underground and surface drainage systems.
We use state of the art GPS & GIS mapping technologies, CCTV cameras, and electronic locators to create highly detailed maps that show the paths, connections, and access points of drainage pipes, sewers, manholes, and other drainage assets.
Applications of Drainage Mapping
Drainage System & Asset Mapping services provided by NRC have an excellent track record in assisting the following sectors across the UK.
- Highway & Transport Sectors: for effective water management along roads, railways, and runways to prevent flooding and erosion.
- Commercial Drainage Management: for efficient site planning, regulatory compliance, & minimising disruption from flooding.
- Utilities & Local Authorities: flood management, environmental assessments, and streamlined upkeep.
- Civil, Construction & Infrastructure: help prevent accidental damage and ensure adherence to regulations.
- Industrial, Agricultural & Environmental for water management, land conservation, and seamless site development.


By using GPS (Global Positioning System), our drain mapping team accurately pinpoint the location of each drainage asset, from manholes to underground pipes.
This technology allows for precise, centimetre-level accuracy in marking the positions of drains, especially beneficial for large sites and infrastructure projects, helping construction teams avoid costly mistakes during excavation.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is an advanced framework for gathering, analysing, and visualising spatial data on highway drainage assets.
GIS is essential in converting complex data into practical insights, enabling informed decision-making and efficient asset management.


CCTV surveys give us in real-time, an in-depth visual inspection of the condition of a drainage system, identifying blockages, cracks, leaks, and other issues.
CCTV surveys are particularly useful for verifying pipe alignment, flow direction, and access points within a mapped drainage layout.
Combined with GPS and GIS data, CCTV insights help build a complete and accurate view of the drainage network for construction, maintenance, and regulatory compliance.
