The camera distance counter is to measure the distance from the center of starting
manhole to the center of the finish manhole. The distance measured by the camera
between the two manholes is to be confirmed by using a measuring wheel or steel tape.
Payment distances will be calculated using the horizontal “steel tape” or “measuring
wheel” measurement of the distance between manholes.
The entire length of the main from starting to finishing manhole wall will be shown on
the videorecording whenever possible.
The operator shall ensure that the distance counter starts to register within the first 2
meters ofthe inspection. The distance from the start of the survey to the point where the
 Special Provisions
T-XXXX

counter starts toregister will be known as the cable calibration point. If a defect is noted
before the cable calibration point has been reached, the distance will be estimated and
noted accordingly.

The meter reading entered into the data display at the cable calibration point must allow
for thedistance from the start of the survey to the cable calibration point such that the
meter-age at thestart of the survey is zero.
At the start of each main length being surveyed, the length of main from zero chainage
up to thecable calibration point shall be recorded and reported in order to obtain a full
record of the mainlength from center of manhole to center of manhole.
