h) Should any report fail to achieve the specified percentages for a particular pipe length, the Engineer shall require the Contractor to recode and resubmit the report. If the accuracy check fails, the Contractor shall repeat the full quality control check on 10 surveys, 5 surveys either side of the survey which has failed. If any further failures are found to be outside the tolerances laid down above within these additional checks, the process will be repeated until an acceptable standard is reached. Any reports that have failed will be re-coded by another qualified surveyor and submitted to the Engineer to replace those in his possession. i) Quality selection is achieved by using two parameters: i. ii. Population - the anticipated number of surveys carried out by one surveyor over a period of time (normally I year). Sample size - the number of surveys required to be checked to satisfy the quality control validity.

j)

The sample surveys for quality control are to be selected by the use of computer generated random numbers (ERNI) or other such equivalent method and shall be 5% of the total population. Each surveyor shall have a different set of random numbers, which are sorted into chronological order, and are renewed once the population size has been reached. The random numbers shall not be disclosed to the surveyor until they have been used up.

k) On site the surveyor logs certain information on the surveys being carried out and in the order in which they are surveyed. l) The in-office staff then count through the surveys that have taken place and copy those reports that coincide with the random numbers.

m) A copy of the relevant section of the recording shall also be made available. n) Information on the recording and its contents are entered on a survey selection log. o) All header information shall be checked to ensure that left and right justified entries are correctly entered, alpha or numeric symbols are correctly used and all compulsory boxes filled in. The percentage of accurate entries shall be ascertained and any that fall below the value specified shall be rejected. All decimal percentage points shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. p) Detail information - Each error/omission is treated on an equal basis whether or not it is a minor or major error or omission. During the checking each error/omission is highlighted on the report from which the following totals are calculated for each survey report:

i. ii.

The number of actual entries that should have been made. The number of actual errors/omissions made.

q) These totals are entered on the right of the survey report being checked. Individual column totals are also calculated and entered on to the survey accuracy log. r) The accuracy of each survey is arrived at by taking the number of actual errors/omissions away from the number of actual entries that should have been made and dividing the result by the number of actual entries that should have been made and multiplying by 100 to create a percentage. s) This percentage is entered on the survey detail rating form. t) The ongoing accuracy of the surveyor (the confidence level) is calculated by taking the mean of 5 percentage results (each 5 representing one control unit).

u) Both the individual survey percentages and the mean results are entered onto the surveyors accuracy graph which has two boundaries: i. ii. Specified mean - the level of accuracy expected. Specified tolerance - the level to which the accuracy can fall before specific action is taken.

v) Any surveyor whose quality control results fall below the specified mean on more than 2 occasions or the specified tolerance at any time shall be deemed to have failed his quality control criteria and shall be invalidated from acting as a team leader on this Contract until he has attended and passed an approved course for pipe condition classification. 1.6 SAFETY The Contractor shall be solely responsible for safety during the performance of all work. The Contractor shall not enter into any sewer where hazardous conditions may exist until such time as the source of these conditions is eliminated by the Contractor. Contractor shall perform all work in accordance with the latest applicable confined space entry regulations. Contractor shall coordinate his work with local, fire police and emergency rescue units.

of any conditions which may result in a limitation of rehabilitation techniques that could be used and/or prevent proper installation of designated rehabilitation materials in the pipelines shall be noted so that these conditions can be considered and if necessary corrected prior to actual rehabilitation. b) The minimum team complement shall be three people. The operator who prepares the site coding sheets shall be fully conversant with picture interpretation, defects coding and classification. The Contractor shall maintain on site a competent supervisor in charge of the survey at all times. c) If during CCTV survey the camera will not pass safely through the entire pipeline section being investigated the Contractor shall at no additional cost to the Department set up equipment so that inspection can be performed from opposite downstream manhole. Where an obstruction is encountered and a reverse set up is required the distance shall be entered into the log and verbally noted on the recording from which manhole the measurements are being made. If under the reverse set up the camera again fails to pass through the entire pipeline section the Engineer shall be notified and the inspection shall be considered complete. d) Should Contractors CCTV equipment become lodged in any pipeline it shall be removed by contractor at his own expense. This shall include, if necessary, excavation and repair of the pipeline, backfilling and surface restoration. Contractor shall re-CCTV survey any pipeline section in which his equipment became lodged after said equipment has been removed to demonstrate that no damage exists as a result of his operations. 3.4 SURVEY UNITS a) The Contractor shall provide sufficient survey units, including standby units in the event of breakdown, in order to complete the survey within the time stated in his programme. b) The survey vehicle shall comprise two totally separate areas.

The Engineer may at his discretion instruct the Contractor to re-survey those lengths of pipe first inspected with the original measuring device using the new measuring device. h) At the start of each pipe length being surveyed, the length of pipe from zero chainage up to the cable calibration point shall be recorded and reported in order to obtain a full record of the pipe length. i) The meter reading entered on to the data display at the cable calibration point must allow for the distance from the start of the survey to the cable calibration point such that the metreage at the start of the survey is zero. In the case of surveying through a manhole where a new header sheet is required, the metreage shall be set at zero with the camera focused on the outgoing pipe entrance. The team leader shall be defined as the person responsible for the set up of equipment and the recording of survey data on the approved coding forms as survey work progresses on site.
