Purpose and Procedure for Drafting the Document
What Is a Stormwater Drain Inspection Report?
A stormwater drain inspection report documents the condition and capacity of stormwater drainage systems. It includes details on inspected components such as gullies, catch basins, and pipes, along with any defects, observations, and an overall assessment.
Who Uses This Report?
Municipal engineers, drainage inspectors, asset managers, and maintenance teams use this report to evaluate stormwater infrastructure. It supports routine maintenance, flood investigations, and asset management decisions.
Key Sections of the Report
The report includes sections for inspection details, drain components (repeatable), overall assessment, and signatures. Each component entry captures type, condition, defects, observations, and photo references.
Routine Drainage Maintenance
Maintenance teams use this report to document the condition of stormwater drains during regular inspections, identifying issues like blockages or structural damage that require attention.
Flood Investigation
After flooding events, inspectors use this report to assess drain capacity and identify contributing factors such as blockages or inadequate capacity.
Asset Management Planning
Asset managers rely on inspection data to prioritize repairs, replacements, and upgrades of stormwater drainage assets based on condition and capacity assessments.
Regulatory Compliance
Organizations subject to stormwater management regulations can use this report to demonstrate compliance with inspection and maintenance requirements.
- 1
Plan the Inspection
Determine the scope of the inspection, including which drain components to inspect and any specific areas of concern.
- 2
Conduct Visual or CCTV Inspection
Perform a visual inspection or use CCTV to examine the interior of pipes and structures. Record findings for each component.
- 3
Record Data and Generate Report
Enter inspection details, component conditions, defects, and observations into the template. Add photo evidence and complete the overall assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions about Photo Reports and Photo Tables
What components can be inspected with this report?
The report supports inspection of common stormwater drain components including gullies, catch basins, pipes, and inlets. You can add multiple components in the repeatable section.
Can I record defects and observations?
Yes, each component entry includes fields for defects found and observations. Predefined defect types include blockage, root intrusion, collapse, structural damage, debris accumulation, and silted up.
Is photo evidence required?
Photo evidence is recommended but not mandatory. The report includes photo reference fields for each component, and you can use the photo report generator to attach images.
How is the overall drain capacity assessed?
The overall assessment section includes a capacity assessment field with options: adequate, reduced, or inadequate. This is based on the inspector's evaluation of hydraulic performance.
Who typically signs the report?
The report includes signature fields for the inspector and asset manager. Signatures confirm that the inspection has been conducted and reviewed.
