The recent acquisition of an iPEK CCTV inspection van for the Invergordon depot represents a strategic investment in our drainage, wastewater, and infrastructure inspection capability. By bringing advanced vehicle-mounted survey technology closer to our northern operating area, the depot will be better placed to respond quickly, deliver more detailed inspections, and support customers with clearer evidence-based reporting.
Our Invergordon depot serves an important geographic area where response times, reliability, and local capability are essential. Locating a dedicated CCTV inspection van at the depot reduces reliance on equipment travelling from other locations, helping to improve scheduling flexibility and shorten mobilisation times. This supports both planned maintenance programmes and reactive call-outs where fast diagnosis can reduce disruption and avoid unnecessary excavation.
Operational Benefits
Improved response times: A depot-based vehicle allows the team to attend sites more quickly across the local service area.
Better asset visibility: CCTV inspections provide internal evidence of pipe condition, blockages, root ingress, deformation, joint displacement, and other defects.
Reduced disruption: Accurate diagnosis helps target cleaning, repair, or excavation only where required.
Higher productivity: Vehicle-mounted systems provide an organised working environment with equipment, controls, reporting tools, and power systems available on site.
Stronger reporting: Integrated inspection and reporting software can support structured survey outputs, visual records, and clearer recommendations for clients.
iPEK CCTV inspection vehicles are designed to support a wide range of pipeline inspection activities, from smaller connections through to larger sewer and drainage assets. Typical configurations can include crawler systems, pan-and-tilt camera technology, powerful lighting, cable reels for longer survey runs, and on-board reporting software. This combination allows operators to capture live footage, assess defects in real time, and prepare practical inspection records for follow-up action.
For our customers, the new van strengthens our ability to provide timely, accurate, and transparent inspection services. High-quality CCTV evidence helps customers understand the condition of their drainage infrastructure and make informed decisions about maintenance, repair, or renewal. For public sector, industrial, commercial, and infrastructure clients, this supports better planning, improved compliance, and reduced risk of service interruption.
The acquisition of the iPEK CCTV inspection van is a positive step in strengthening our Invergordon depot’s operational capability. It provides the local team with modern inspection technology, improves responsiveness, and enhances the quality of information available to customers and decision-makers. With effective training, maintenance, and deployment, the van should become a valuable asset in supporting safer, faster, and more efficient drainage and infrastructure services across the region.
