Drainage

From municipal three-waters networks to large-scale subdivision drainage, we own the specialist plant and dewatering equipment to manage the job from start to finish.

Experts in drainage

We provide a comprehensive hydraulic infrastructure service, managing every phase from deep excavation and dewatering to the final pressure testing and commissioning.

Three waters reticulation

We install the full spectrum of underground services required for modern communities. Our certified drainlayers handle deep sewer reticulation, potable water mains, and complex stormwater systems—installing pipework ranging from 100mm to 1200mm+ in diameter using PVC, PE, and concrete.

Deep drainage & dewatering

We specialise in high-risk, high-water-table environments. Using engineered well-point dewatering systems and trench shields, we execute deep excavations safely in unstable ground conditions, ensuring dry, stable trenches for precision pipe laying.

Pump stations & treatment

We construct the critical control structures that keep networks flowing. Our teams build complex lift stations, install large-diameter manholes (up to 3000mm), and construct engineered wetlands and retention basins to manage stormwater quality and flow rates sustainably.

FAQ

Have questions about our commercial services? Here are the answers to the most common things clients want to know before work begins.

Are your drainlayers certified?

Yes. We employ a team of PGDB registered certifying drainlayers who oversee all sanitary and drainage works to ensure full compliance with New Zealand Building Code and local council standards.

Can you handle high water tables?

Yes. We are experts in dewatering. We use well-point systems and sheet piling to lower groundwater levels, allowing us to install deep infrastructure safely and accurately in saturated ground conditions.

What size pipes can you install?

We have the plant and expertise to install everything from small diameter laterals to massive DN1200+ concrete mains and large-scale box culverts for major infrastructure projects.

Do you handle testing and commissioning?

Yes. We manage the full QA process, including M7 pressure testing, chlorination for potable water, and CCTV inspections for gravity lines to verify the integrity of the system before handover.

Do you undertake deep sewer connections?

Yes. We are experienced in deep excavation for sewer mains, utilising trench shields and benching to ensure the safety of our crews while connecting to existing council networks.
