Inclination Reports
Pipe Inclination & Grade Reporting Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast & Beyond
Drain Tech Australia provides pipe inclination and grade reporting services across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and beyond.
Inclination reporting is used to assess the grade, fall and vertical alignment of stormwater, sewer and drainage pipelines. When completed with CCTV inspection, the system can record changes in pipe grade and help identify sags, dips, reverse grade, ponding areas and sections where flow performance may be affected.
This information is useful for councils, civil contractors, engineers and asset owners who need to understand whether a pipe has been installed or is performing with suitable fall.

What Inclination Reporting Is Used For
Inclination reporting is used to assess the grade, fall and vertical alignment of a pipeline during CCTV inspection works.
It can help identify areas where the pipe may have insufficient fall, reverse grade, sags, dips or sections where water may pond and affect flow performance.
How the Grade Is Recorded
The inclination data is captured as part of the CCTV inspection process using equipment capable of recording changes in pipe grade as the camera travels through the asset.
This allows the inspection footage and grade information to be reviewed together, providing a clearer understanding of both pipe condition and pipe alignment.
What the Report Includes
The final report can include CCTV inspection information, inclination or grade charts, pipe observations, defect details, photos and supporting notes where required.
Reports can be used to support civil handover, asset condition assessment, defect investigation, maintenance planning or further engineering review.
When Inclination Reporting Is the Best Option
Inclination reporting is best suited when clients need to understand whether a pipe has suitable fall or whether grade issues may be affecting flow performance.
It is commonly used for newly constructed pipelines, suspected sags, ponding issues, poor drainage performance, handover inspections and condition assessment programs.
