Stormwater & Drainage

Water goes where it wants. We plan for that.

Poor drainage is behind most pavement failures, most neighbour disputes and a good share of development approval delays. We prepare stormwater management plans and drainage designs that satisfy the assessment manager the first time and keep working long after the contractor has left site.

Scope

  • Site-based stormwater management plans for development approvals
  • Stormwater quantity design, detention and lawful point of discharge

  • Erosion and sediment control plans
  • Drainage investigations and rectification of existing problems
  • Responses to council information requests
