Arabi St, Sandringham | 10-Lot Residential Development
Public Stormwater & Wastewater Infrastructure | Completed 2025
C&B Drainage Contracting Ltd completed the public stormwater and wastewater infrastructure works for a 10-lot residential development on Arabi St, Sandringham, Auckland.
Located within the Mt Eden volcanic rock zone, the project presented challenging ground conditions, with extensive rock breaking and excavation required for the public wastewater network and new manholes. The works also included approximately 100 metres of new public wastewater pipeline within the development site, the relaying of existing public sewer infrastructure outside the boundary, and connections to several neighbouring properties.
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.
