• Scope of Works

    • Public stormwater and wastewater infrastructure
    • Approximately 100m of public wastewater pipeline within the development
    • Construction of new wastewater manholes
    • Rock breaking and excavation for wastewater infrastructure
    • Relay and replacement of existing public sewer infrastructure outside the site boundary
    • Excavation and pipe installation around multiple existing underground services
    • Connections to neighbouring properties
    • Public drainage connections and site coordination

    Project Challenges

    Volcanic Rock Conditions

    The project was located within the Mt Eden volcanic rock zone, with significant rock encountered along the proposed wastewater alignment and at new manhole locations. Rock breaking was required before excavation and pipe installation could proceed.

    Complex Underground Services

    Multiple existing underground services crossed and ran alongside the existing sewer alignment. Careful excavation and service coordination were required to protect existing infrastructure while installing the new wastewater network.

    Existing Public Sewer Relay

    Outside the development boundary, sections of the existing public sewer infrastructure required relaying. The works had to be carefully coordinated with the existing network and the new wastewater infrastructure.

    Neighbouring Property Connections

    Several neighbouring properties had existing wastewater connections that needed to be correctly connected to the new public wastewater system. This required careful planning and coordination throughout the construction process.

    Project Outcome

    Despite the challenging volcanic ground conditions, complex underground services and the need to maintain and connect existing wastewater infrastructure, C&B Drainage successfully completed the public stormwater and wastewater works for the development.

    The project demonstrated our ability to manage challenging ground conditions, rock excavation, existing services and complex wastewater infrastructure connections in a residential development environment.
