The problem on this Cedar Park site
The site superintendent wanted underground verified before backfill and paving. The subcontractor had already pulled the trench boxes and was ready to bring in select fill the next morning, which would have buried anything wrong under a finished parking lot.
How our NASSCO-certified crew approached it
- Scheduled the scope in the window between pipe installation and select fill, with trench boxes already pulled
- Ran every new sanitary run end to end, checking grade, deflection, joint seating, and cleanout elevations
- Flagged the crushed section on the spot so the site super could turn the sub around the same day
- Flushed the debris and re-scoped clean, then packaged the signed video for the City closeout submittal
What the camera documented
- Crushed section of 6-inch SDR-35 PVC at 74 ft where a loaded truck had tracked across an unshored trench
- Gravel and mortar debris left in three runs, enough to catch solids at startup
- One cleanout stubbed at the wrong elevation relative to the invert
- Grade verified acceptable everywhere else on the run
Measurable results
- Damage found while the trench was still open, so the fix was a same-day pipe swap instead of saw-cutting new asphalt
- Debris flushed and re-scoped clean before the fill was placed
- Signed-off video and report went into the closeout package the City accepted at final
