Telecoms & Fibre Optic Duct Inspection

Need Specialist Duct Inspection Services For Your Utilities?

Ensuring a Flawless Connection.

We provide specialist duct inspection services to verify the integrity of your telecoms and fibre optic infrastructure, ensuring a clear, damage-free path for the UK’s leading network providers.

What is Telecoms & Fibre Optic Duct Inspection?

This is a specialist technical service to ensure that newly installed underground ducting for telecoms and fibre optic cables is fit for purpose. Before a network provider like Openreach will install their valuable fibre optic cables, they require proof that the duct is clear, continuous, and free from damage or blockages. Our inspection service provides this crucial verification, preventing costly delays and protecting the integrity of vital digital infrastructure.

Our Duct Inspection Services

We use state-of-the-art equipment to provide a complete and certifiable record of your duct network’s condition.

  • High-Definition CCTV Surveys: We deploy advanced robotic crawler cameras to travel through the ducting, providing a clear, real-time video feed of the internal condition and capturing high-resolution images of any defects.

  • Blockage & Debris Identification: Our surveys precisely locate any obstructions, such as collapsed sections, silt, or construction debris, that would prevent a fibre cable from running freely through the pipe.

  • Duct Integrity Testing: We verify the structural integrity of the duct network, checking for breaks, cracks, or deformities that could damage the cable during or after installation.

  • Pre-Installation Certification & Reporting: Upon completion, we provide a comprehensive report, including video evidence and a detailed log of our findings. This report serves as the certification required by network providers to proceed with their cable installation.
