BREAKS, DEFECTS & CROSS BORES.
WE FIND THEM.
California CCTV Video Pipe Inspection Services
Video Pipe Inspection (CCTV) is a sewer inspection service that uses industry-leading remote video cameras to assess conditions and prevent problems in water, sanitary and storm sewer, and lateral pipelines. Our NASSCO-certified technicians scope your sewers to locate clogs, identify cross bores, find structural defects & damages, and conduct lateral sewer line inspections.
GPRS is the sewer inspection company in California you can trust to provide you with comprehensive, interactive reporting that details every inch of your pipes to help you plan repairs, maintain your system integrity, and mitigate risk.

Planning & Design
GPRS is a sewer pipe inspection and utility locating company that provides you with accurate existing conditions documentation to streamline planning & design. And we give you the maps, drawings, and even 3D models of your subsurface infrastructure that you need to Intelligently Visualize The Built World®.
Construction
You need to be able to control your subcontractors, trades, and the quality of your data to ensure a safe, successful project. That’s why it’s critical to accurately visualize your subsurface utilities before you break ground. Whether you choose to incorporate Subsurface Investigation Methodology (SIM) to your dig policy, or utilize GPRS locates and cross bore mitigation before you drill or dig, our services provide you with the control you need to dig safer and build better.
O&M/Remodel
Facility management is an ongoing challenge when it comes to maintaining accurate existing conditions documents and ensuring your as-builts are readily accessible to your team. GPRS and our SiteMap® platform help eliminate information bottlenecks and keep your facility records current — combining GPRS’ 99.8% accurate utility data with an intuitive, cloud-based GIS interface designed to manage and organize your infrastructure.
///THE RIGHT TOOLS
Mainline Crawler
All GPRS Project Managers are experts in utilizing CCTV cameras to investigate sanitary and storm sewers as part of our Video Pipe Inspection Services. Mainline crawlers and their small-diameter crawler cousins are used in concert with push cameras, EM locators, and other technology to provide accurate, comprehensive subsurface visualization and NASSCO-certified reporting.

EM Locator
Electromagnetic (EM) locators are the tools preferred by One Call contractors to locate public utility lines. GPRS utilizes EM devices in concert with GPR and our VPI technologies as part of our Subsurface Investigation Methodology (SIM) process to passively detect live AC power or radio signals that travel along conductive utilities. It can also be used to find accessible metallic pipes, risers, or tracer wires.
Lateral Launch
GPRS uses lateral launch cameras as part of a video pipe (CCTV) inspection and/or a full-site utility locate to non-destructively investigate lateral storm and sanitary sewer lines upstream of a mainline to find pipe defects, cross bores, abandoned pipes, and effectively map a sewer system.
Push Camera
Push cameras, also called flexible rodders, can access pipes through smaller spaces than crawlers, like vents, cleanouts, and toilet plumbing to locate small lateral lines in a sewer system. The push camera contains a sonde that can also be detected by a properly programmed EM locator to map non-metallic pipes as part of a full site utility scan or NASSCO VPI report.

municipalities
The responsibility of managing water, wastewater, and sewer systems is enormous. Every decision you make has the power to impact individuals and communities. And having complete, up-to-date existing condition documentation and as-builts for your sanitary and storm sewer infrastructure help you to make the most informed, efficient, and safe decisions possible. Instead of waiting to react to an emergency, video pipe inspection reporting allows you to take a proactive approach to your system: to plan maintenance and repairs, understand vulnerabilities, and to avoid service interruptions, seepage, and contamination.
Because GPRS VPI reports are delivered digitally via SiteMap®, you, your team, and any contractors you may need have secure, accurate documentation, 24/7 access, and the control you need to meet any situation you may encounter. You receive a complimentary SiteMap® Personal subscription with any GPRS service.

facility managers
Capturing accurate and up-to-date existing conditions for your water, sewer, and overall utility infrastructure can greatly reduce or eliminate utility strikes, which can save you $56,000 per incident, banish service interruptions, and keep everyone at your facility safe. GPRS can provide individual utility locates or full site facility scans in addition to your video pipe inspection – and can encompass your above and below-ground infrastructure to Intelligently Visualize The Built World® with updated, layered, and digitized maps, drawings, models, and reports via SiteMap®.
///INSPECTION PROGRAMS
Pre & Post-Cross Bore Inspections
We also recommend cross bore inspections that assess pipe locations and conditions prior to the deployment of trenchless technology, and immediately following the installation of any new utilities via trenchless technology to mitigate the risk of cross bores and the dangers they pose.

Annual Inspection Programs
Subsurface infrastructure is a complex and ever-changing world – a world that you cannot see without the proper tools and training. That’s why GPRS strongly recommends periodic sewer system inspections every other year to update your existing condition documentation, find new breaks, cross bores, and defects, and protect your system, facility, and community.

///BREAKS, DEFECTS & CROSS BORES. WE FIND THEM.
NASSCO is the National Association of Sewer Service Companies. NASCO sets industry standards for assessing, maintaining, and rehabilitating underground water and sewer infrastructure. All GPRS Project Managers are NASSCO trained and certified, and provide NASSCO Video Pipe Inspection Reports via WinCan for our customers, delivered via SiteMap® for secure, accessible documentation that’s available 24/7.
ALL GPRS PROJECT MANAGERS COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING CERTIFICATIONS:
Pipeline Assessment & Certification Program (PACP)
The Pipeline Assessment and Certification Program (PACP) is an international standard that has been used for many years as the assessment of pipelines, manholes, and laterals.
Lateral Assessment (LACP)
The NASSCO program for defect coding in lateral pipes. This program is the Lateral Assessment and Certification Program (LACP). This training addresses many fittings and access points that are unique to laterals.
Manhole Assessment (MACP)
The Manhole Assessment and Certification Program (MACP) provides training on the gathering of detailed information to fully document all defects, determine condition of the manhole, and provide the specific information needed to recommend corrective action
