Can you name any of the issues in these sewer videos?

(Feel free to get creative naming that last one) 😂🦎

Left undetected, fiber or natural gas cross-bores can pose serious risks, such as property damage, service interruptions to fiber and telecom networks, inflow and infiltration (I/I), backups, damage to your infrastructure, and even life-threatening explosions or gas leaks.

Cross-bores happen when utilities (like fiber or natural gas lines) are unintentionally installed through another underground pipe. Many incidents happen during routine cleaning or plumbing work when equipment hits a line that was never identified.

CES locates cross-bores using advanced CCTV inspection and GIS mapping technology that help reduce risk and protect underground infrastructure. A push camera alone cannot provide full system visibility. Hydroexcavation is useful, but it is not designed to inspect internal pipe conditions or confirm lateral connections.

Effective cross-bore prevention requires more than a push camera or hydroexcavation alone. It requires a combination of:
🎯 Accurate utility locating
🔍 Internal pipeline inspections
👀 Lateral visibility
🗺️ Real-time mapping and documentation
