Contact usDrainage surveys on West Lothian industrial estates
West Lothian has one of Scotland’s largest concentrations of industrial and business estates, much of it built around Livingston new town from the 1960s onwards – Houstoun, Deans, Brucefield, Kirkton Campus and Starlaw among them – along with expanding estates in Bathgate, Broxburn and Whitburn along the M8 corridor. Many units have been extended, subdivided or changed use several times, leaving drainage records that no longer match what is in the ground.
Common instructions here include pre-acquisition and lease-end surveys on industrial units, tracing misconnections where foul and surface water have been mixed, condition surveys for planned maintenance, and mapping existing drainage before extensions and new builds.
Typical West Lothian drainage survey instructions
- Pre-acquisition CCTV survey of an industrial unit on Houstoun Industrial Estate
- Misconnection tracing where process and foul drainage reach a surface water system
- Lease-end dilapidations drainage survey on a subdivided trade unit
- Mapping existing drainage before a warehouse extension in Bathgate

Main contractors, groundworkers, M&E contractors and developers use us at every stage of a build, not just when something goes wrong. In West Lothian we support contractors on new industrial and logistics units, extensions to existing Livingston and Bathgate premises, and the large mixed-use developments at Winchburgh and East Calder, where new drainage must be proved before handover and vesting.
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 West Lothian | Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Which West Lothian towns do you cover?
A: All of them – including Livingston, Bathgate, Broxburn, Uphall, Linlithgow, Whitburn, Armadale, the Calders and Winchburgh.
Q2: Can you find out where an industrial unit’s drainage connects?
A: Yes. We trace the runs with CCTV and route location, confirm where foul and surface water discharge, and record any misconnections on a drawing.
Q3: Do you provide reports suitable for dilapidations?
A: Yes. Our reports grade and locate each defect with photographs and footage, which gives surveyors and solicitors clear evidence for dilapidations negotiations.
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.
