Case 2: Does this justify excavation?

Case input / evidence

Client issue

Recurring blockages.

Surface-water run MH1→MH2
300mm PVC, 17.03m, no defects reported.
Foul run MH2→MH3
100mm PVC, 10m, asphalt surface.
Observations
WL at 3.55m, connection at 3.62m, open joint at 4.12m, CMJ at 5.02m.
Survey grades
Structural grade 3, service grade 2.

Important uncertainty

The survey purpose says routine inspection, while the narrative says recurring blockages.

Proposed remedial plan

Optional - add a real-world constraint or client preference. For example: The affected drainage runs are beneath a newly laid patio. Avoid excavation if a technically suitable internal repair is available.

How this works

This plan is generated live from the case facts shown here, the additional job context you provide, and a small set of publicly sourced drainage repair principles. The model is not given the contractor’s published recommendation.
