Contact usDrainage surveys on Lanarkshire distribution and industrial sites
Lanarkshire sits at the junction of the M8, M74 and M73, and much of Scotland’s distribution, manufacturing and trade property is concentrated here – at Eurocentral, Righead, Strathclyde Business Park, Hamilton International Technology Park, East Kilbride’s industrial estates and the Cumbernauld business parks. These sites rely on large surface water systems serving yards, service roads and HGV parking, where silting, damaged gullies and failed connections quickly lead to standing water and operational disruption.
We are typically instructed to investigate yard flooding, survey surface water drainage before maintenance or re-letting, map drainage ahead of extensions and new sheds, and prove new drainage before handover on logistics and industrial builds.
Typical Lanarkshire drainage survey instructions
- Yard and loading-bay flooding investigation at a distribution centre near Eurocentral
- Surface water drainage condition survey before a warehouse is re-let
- Pre-construction mapping of existing drainage for a new industrial unit in East Kilbride
- CCTV proving of new drainage on a logistics scheme before practical completion

Main contractors, groundworkers, M&E contractors and developers use us at every stage of a build, not just when something goes wrong. In Lanarkshire most of our contractor work is on logistics and industrial schemes – new sheds, yard extensions and HGV parking at Eurocentral, Righead and East Kilbride – where large surface water and attenuation systems need surveying before and after construction.
Pre-construction
Existing drainage traced, surveyed and drawn with levels and depths – combined with a PAS128 utility survey so the design team and groundworkers start from one accurate set of drawings.
During construction
Checks on new runs before backfilling or surfacing, connection surveys into existing sewers, and investigation when existing drainage is damaged or found unrecorded.
Pre-handover & vesting
Full CCTV of new foul and surface water drainage before practical completion, retention release or a request to vest sewers with Scottish Water, with defects listed for remedial works.
As-built records
Drainage as-built drawings in CAD and survey footage for the O&M manual and health and safety file.

CCTV Drainage Surveys in Lanarkshire | Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Do you cover both North and South Lanarkshire?
A: Yes – from Cumbernauld, Airdrie and Coatbridge in the north to Hamilton, East Kilbride, Larkhall, Carluke and Lanark in the south.
Q2: Can you survey live distribution yards without stopping operations?
A: Yes. We plan work around trailer movements and shift patterns, phase the yard into zones and can work nights or weekends where needed.
Q3: Can you combine drainage with a utility survey before an extension?
A: Yes. We regularly deliver CCTV drainage with PAS128 utility and topographical surveys so the design team receives one coordinated set of drawings.
Q4: Can you survey drainage and utilities on the same visit?
A: Yes. Because we are a utility surveying company first, we can combine a CCTV drainage survey with a PAS128 utility survey, GPR and a topographical survey, so you get one coordinated set of drawings instead of three contractors on site.
Q5: How much does a commercial CCTV drainage survey cost?
A: Commercial surveys are priced on the extent of the network, access, traffic management and whether jetting is needed. Send us a site plan with the areas marked and we will come back with a fixed quote, usually the same or next working day.
