Water Carrying Utility Detection Survey
Investigation and Testing of Buried Water Carrying Services Affecting Slopes
Introduction
Persistent leakage of water from private services within the lot not only causes nuisance, but can also be a
serious risk to the stability of slopes (including retaining walls) in the vicinity. These services include
sewers, stormwater drains and watermains. As a preventive measure, it is essential for owners or their building
managers to employ experienced personnel to carry out regular inspection and maintenance of the services within
their lot. Neglect may result in leakage, which would affect the stability of slopes within or even some distance
away from the lot.
