Sectors We Serve

Specialist Man-Entry Surveys & Inspections

When a drainage asset is too large for a CCTV crawler, or too complex for remote inspection, Civil Connect deploys specialist Confined Space Entry (CSE) teams.

We provide safe, high-precision man-entry surveys for deep sewers, large-diameter culverts, and underground tanks. Unlike standard drainage crews, our engineers are trained to high standards, allowing us to physically traverse and inspect hazardous environments that robots cannot reach.

Our Confined Space Capabilities

We provide a complete “Access, Inspect, and Repair” solution for high-risk underground assets.

Man-Entry Sewer & Culvert Inspections: For large-diameter pipes (900mm+) and box culverts, a physical walk-through survey is often the only way to get accurate data.

  • Traversing Surveys: Our engineers walk the line to identify structural defects, infiltration, and blockages.
  • Tactile Assessment: We can physically test brickwork, mortar, and concrete for strength, something a CCTV camera cannot do.
  • Detailed Reporting: All findings are logged with high-resolution photography and mapped to WRC standards.


Deep Manhole & Shaft Surveys:
While pole cameras work for shallow assets, deep infrastructure requires entry.

  • Deep Manhole Surveys: Full descent inspections to check benching, chamber walls, and rocker pipes in deep sewer systems.
  • Wet Well & Pumping Station Entry: Entry into hazardous pumping chambers for cleaning, pump retrieval, and structural maintenance.


Confined Space Repairs:
We don’t just look; we fix. Our entry teams are equipped to carry out manual repairs in-situ.

  • Patching & Pointing: Hand-repairing brickwork and mortar loss in historic sewers.
  • Obstruction Removal: Manually removing heavy debris, roots, or masonry that jetting cannot shift.

Confined Space Management Services

Confined space entry is one of the most hazardous activities in the construction industry. We manage that risk entirely.

High Standards: Our teams hold the highest level of confined space qualification, authorising us to work in environments with non-standard entries and potential atmospheric hazards.

Atmospheric Monitoring: We utilize advanced multi-gas detectors to continuously monitor for Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), Methane, and low Oxygen levels, ensuring a safe working environment.

Why Choose Civil Connect for High-Risk Entry?

Verified Safety: We operate under strict RAMS (Risk Assessment & Method Statements) compliant with the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997.

Tier 1 Equipment: We own our own tripods, winches, escape sets, and forced ventilation systems—we do not rely on hire shops for safety-critical gear.

End-to-End Service: From the initial risk assessment to the final structural report, we handle the entire entry process.

Secure Your Underground Assets

Do not compromise on safety or data quality. If your asset requires human entry, trust the specialists.
