1.0 SCOPE
1.1 Scope of works

 To inspect by utilizing 360 ° Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) for sewers and
drains, which are in services.
 A CCTV inspection is designed to ascertain the condition of the water main to
provide data assessing.
 The structural integrity of the pipeline system.
 The service condition of the pipeline system.
 The possible cause and effect of any extraneous water infiltration/ex-filtration
to/ from the pipeline system.
 The location and extent of the expedient connections to the pipe line system

1.2 Lighting, Signing and, Guarding:

 Site works are not commenced until proper safety and precautions regarding
the Lighting, Signing and Guarding of Roadwork’s or Footway works have
been compliance with the Code of Practice for Lighting and Guarding
published by the Abu Dhabi Municipality. The Company will comply with all
statutory regulations and enactments and particular specific instructions from
our clients.
1.3 Test Devices

 The following Test Devices will be utilized on site: X5H Panoramic

Quantitative Inspection robot or its derivatives is used in Monitor and Camera
Test
 Standard Cable length floating cable150 m, 300m optional for high distance
Measurement accuracy.
1.4 Expanded Operational Procedures for CCTV Operation

 On arrival at site, the Engineer (Hydrojet Facilities Management LLC) (who is

well trained and has at least 6 years relevant experience) will determine the
most logical approach for the inspection. In normal circumstances, the
inspection will be undertaken in a downstream direction; however this is not
always the case. In some circumstances, it may not be possible to mobilize
the equipment at the desired start point, therefore a downstream start point
will be chosen and the inspection will be carried out upstream. Having
decided on the start point, the Crew Leader will deploy the vehicle in close
proximity to the start point. The exit and entry manhole covers will be removed
to allow for venting of the pipe. The two areas will then be secured using the
current code of practice for guarding & signing of open manholes
(roadwork’s). The crew will place the camera, along with cable at the start
point and connect the cables. Whilst this is under way, the Crew Leader will

be inputting the inspection header information onto the monitor screen and
loading the video tape/disc into the video recorder controlled by control box
with 13.3 inch touch IPS DVR monitor with attached keyboard. The following
in use of the sewer/drain/conduit
 Name of company
 Name of Project
 Client reference Node
 Pipe Size
 Pipe Material
 Pipe Duty Direction of Survey i.e., upstream/downstream Camera's chainage
 Name/code of operator and company information will be displayed:
The crew will, by now, have connected the 360 ° robotic camera unit to the main
cable and mounted the camera on the robotic vehicle. The Crew Leader of Hydrojet
facilities and management will now test the camera, camera lights, camera focus and
the vehicle unit to ensure all are in working order, and also undertake the relevant
tests.
The 360 ° robotic CCTV vehicle is to be tied with hook and rope through the
manhole fixed with cable attached to it the crew will have to control the camera back
forward by control box through the pipe from the access point.
The pipe diameter will have been measured and the vehicle height is adjusted on its
mount to ensure that the camera lens is in the center of the pipe axis. The Crew
Leader (Engineer) adjusts the light and focus to show the best picture on the
monitor. He then informs the crew that the inspection is about to commence and
activates the video recorder on the vehicle unit. The camera then travels along the
pipe at an average speed of 2 / 3 km per second, this being the optimum speed that
facilitates the identification and recording of all faults by the Crew Leader. The Crew
Leader will note all defects and will take photographs of major faults by utilizing
digital "Video print" photography and each photograph is numbered consecutively for
each survey. At the end of each survey, the Crew Leader will end the survey by
entering information that stating the manhole condition and the drainage measured
on the counter. This procedure is used for each survey, a survey being from. At the
commencement the next survey the meter counter is reset to zero. On completion of
the full survey, the video sd card is brought back to the office where the information
is compiled into a report using either computerized operations or the standard report
format giving full information. For pipelines over this size or under abnormal
circumstances.

6.0 METHODOLOGY
6.1 Monitor Test
The following procedures are recommended for testing the monitor:
(1) Select the under scan mode on the CCTV monitor so that the edge of the raster

scan can be clearly seen at the top, bottom, left and right of the screen. If the monitor
does not have under scan, then it will need to be modified by a qualified technician.
(2) Play a standard Monitor Test Tape on a good quality video recorder (4 or 6
heads) or digital device and display it on the monitor screen.
(3) Ensure that the full center circle is visible and that the edges of the test chart
coincide with the edge of the raster image on the monitor.
(4) While playing the Monitor Linearity Test section of the test tape mark the position
of the center cross and the canter of the four “bow ties” with a china graph pencil.
(5) Measure the distance between the center and all the “bow ties” marks with a
transparent plastic ruler and ensure they are all within 5% of each other. If the marks
are still not within this range, the linearity of the monitor will need to be adjusted by
qualified technician. Repeat the test until the required tolerance is achieved.
(6) For other display device, testing may follow the manufacturer’s instruction.
6.2 Camera Test
The Camera can be tested using the following steps:
1. Place the camera in a proprietary Test Chart Box and view the Test Chart
(Marconi Resolution Chart Number 1). The chart should be evenly illuminated from
the rear. Illumination should be provided by a source compatible with the camera
lighting being used, e.g. Quartz Halogen (3,200K), White L.E.D. (5,600K),
2. With the monitor in the under scan mode, position the camera so that the edges of
the Test Chart coincide with the edge of the raster image, they must now be in equal
position at the top, bottom, left and right of the screen. The camera is now centered
on the Test Chart.
3. Check that all five shades of grey can be clearly seen on the grey scale; shade 1
should be white and is the background within the center circle. Adjustment of the
monitor brightness and contrast controls may be required.
4. Check the resolution by viewing the line wedges and line blocks, adjust the
camera focus to give the best view. The resolution should meet the requirement of
the specification (normally between 320 and 450 lines).
5. Check the color bars, the blue, red, magenta, green, cyan and yellow sections can
be clearly seen with no tinting or smearing on their edges. Adjustment of the monitor
color/ chroma level control may be required.
6. Record a section at the start of each new VHS tape of the camera viewing the
Marconi Resolution Chart Number 1, as set up above.
7. Record details of the camera checks in a picture quality form/log book

6.3 Camera Cable Calibration

The calibration of the distance measurement system should be checked on a daily
basis. The recommended test procedure is described below:
(1) Ensure that the cable is fully wound onto the cable drum with the end of the cable
passing through the measuring wheel.
(2) Set the counter to zero
(3) Pull the cable off the drum until the counter indicates exactly 10m.
(4) Measure the length of the cable that has been pulled off the drum with a standard
tape, and record this length on the linear measurement audit form/ log book.
(5) Repeat Steps (3) and (4) four times, pulling 10m off the cable drum each times
until a total of 50m (minimum 30m) has been checked and recorded.
(6) check that the error on the distance measurement is within the tolerance allowed
in the specification (usually +/- 1% or 0.3m, whichever is the larger).
(7) File the completed forms/ log book for further audits.
6.4 Measuring the Focal Distance of the Camera
The captured image is actually referring to a position a certain distance in front of the
camera’s lens, the distance is defined as the “focal length” of the lens. This length
depends on the type of the camera used and the size of the sewer/ drain. The
distance shall be worked out before commencing the survey. To calculate the
distance, the following procedure is recommended
(1) Hold a tape equivalent to the largest dimension of the cross-section of the pipe
to be surveyed in front of the lens, e.g. for a circular pipe this will equal to the
diameter, for other shapes this will equal to the largest dimension. The tape should
be held vertically unless horizontal dimension is the largest.
(2) View the tape through the camera. Adjust the position of the tape until the screen
can just view the whole length of the tape.
(3) The distance of the tape from the rear of the camera is then measured.
6.5 Measuring Length/ Distance in the Sewer/ Drain
Distance can also be determined by attaching/ drawing a half of a meter (in 10mm
increments) on a short length of rod and placing it in the pipe in front of the camera,
and prior to the commencement of the survey
Focus the camera on the rod and record in the video after the recording of the
Marconi Resolution Chart Number1.
