Drainage
Foul and surface water drainage laid to falls, tested and backfilled correctly the first time — so it passes inspection and stays passed.
Overview
What this service covers
Drainage is the part of a groundworks package most often rushed, and by far the most expensive to put right once it is buried. We set out every run to the designed falls, bed and surround the pipework properly, build chambers to finished levels and test before backfill — so nothing gets covered up that you will have to dig out again.
What is included
- Foul and surface water runs
- Manholes, chambers and gullies
- Soakaways and attenuation crates
- Land drainage and French drains
- Connections to existing systems
- Pipework testing before backfill
Why it matters
Drainage that passes inspection and keeps water away from the build. Getting this stage right keeps your programme moving, makes inspections straightforward, and saves you the cost and delay of remedial work once the build is above ground and far harder to reach.
