PUB has begun registration for sewer pipelines’ CCTV contractors since June 2012. From 1 Jan 2013, only registered contractors are permitted to conduct CCTV inspection works. This effort aims to ensure the safety of inspection and cut down on malpractices.
Members of the public are advised to hire only registered CCTV contractors as reports submitted by unregistered contractors will be rejected.
A Builder/Qualified Person (QP) is required to carry out pre-construction CCTV inspection of sewers/manholes, whenever their proposed works or activities are near or adjacent to public sewers/manholes. A report with CCTV video shall be submitted to PUB along with an application form, thereafter.
Upon completion of the development or building works, post-construction CCTV inspection is now needed. Builder/QP is required to submit the CCTV report and video to PUB, before seeking issuance of Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) / Certificate of Statutory Completion (CSC).
For proposed small redevelopment/A&A works in a single landed property (terrace, semi- detached and detached house), only post-construction CCTV sewer inspection is required. The QP is required to make the necessary post-construction CCTV inspection.
As of 1 Jan 2013, PUB only accepts CCTV inspection and reports from PUB’s Registered CCTV contractors.
Starting from 1 Oct 2017, all CCTV submissions shall be made online to PUB via https://www.sewercctv.pub.gov.sg/home. The CCTV contractors will make the submissions to this website, on behalf of the QPs.
Generally, CCTV sewer inspection is not required where there is no proposed works, such as excavation, soil investigation, piling, tunneling, structure either permanent or temporary, etc., would take place at the ground level in the vicinity of any existing public sewers/pumping mains within the development site.
You are advised to consult PUB if any works or activities are to be carried out within the public sewer corridor.
Yes. The QP shall, after reviewing the pre-construction and post-construction CCTV sewer inspection reports/DVDs, certify any changes to the sewer conditions such as alignment, functional and structural conditions or defects before and after the works.
If there are new defects to be rectified, the QP shall submit Form B and notify PUB before carrying out any works in the sewerage system. Upon completion of the rectification works, the QP shall submit a post- rectification CCTV sewer inspection report to confirm that the defects have been satisfactorily rectified.
Pre-construction and post-construction CCTV sewer inspection will protect the owner/ developer from liability for any pre-existing defects in the public sewers.
If no pre-construction CCTV sewer inspection was conducted before the commencement of works, the responsible QP / Professional Engineer (PE) and the contractor will be liable for all the defects found in the public sewers, unless proven otherwise.
