Purpose and Procedure for Drafting the Document

What Is a CCTV Photo Log?

A CCTV photo log is a collection of annotated photographs taken during a CCTV sewer survey. Each photo entry includes location, pipe reference, defect code, and annotation notes. The log serves as visual evidence to support survey findings.

Who Uses This Log?

CCTV operators and asset managers use the photo log to document and review pipeline condition. It is often appended to a CCTV survey report for detailed visual reference.

Key Sections of the Log

The log includes identification information, repeatable photo entries, and a summary. Each photo entry captures the image, location, pipe reference, defect code, and notes.

CCTV Survey Documentation

During CCTV surveys, operators capture photos of defects and key pipe sections. This log organizes those images for easy reference.

Evidence for Repair Planning

Photo logs provide visual evidence of pipeline condition, helping engineers plan repairs and justify expenditures.

Regulatory Compliance

Some regulations require photographic evidence of sewer condition. This log provides a structured format for compliance documentation.

Handover to Asset Managers

After a survey, the photo log is handed over to asset managers for review and inclusion in asset records.
