Sewerage & drainage

Everything that
matters is buried.

A drainage run is judged on falls, bedding and joints — none of which you can see once the trench is closed. Scroll to watch one go in, in the order it happens on site.

01

Excavation

Trench cut to line and depth, battered or supported as the ground demands. Spoil kept clear of the edge so nothing surcharges the walls.

02

Bedding

Granular bed laid and levelled to the design invert. Get the falls wrong here and the whole run silts up later.

03

Pipe laying

RCC pipes set one by one, spigot into socket, checked to gradient as each length goes down and jointed before the next follows.

04

Chambers

Manhole rings built at junctions and changes of direction, benched and cover-slabbed so the network can actually be maintained.

05

Backfill & reinstate

Surround, backfill in layers, compact, and reinstate the surface. Done properly, there is nothing left to see.

What this covers

Scope we self-deliver.

  • Trenching

    Excavation to line, level and depth, with support where ground conditions require it.

  • RCC pipe laying

    Concrete pipe supply and laying to gradient, jointed and tested.

  • Stormwater networks

    Surface water collection, gullies, connections and outfalls.

  • Manholes & chambers

    Chamber construction, benching, cover slabs and ironwork to level.
