Drainage & Infrastructure
We provide professional drainage and infrastructure solutions for domestic, commercial and development projects across Cornwall. From new foul and surface water drainage systems to soakaways, inspection chambers, service ducting and associated groundworks, we have the experience and equipment to deliver projects of varying scale and complexity.
Our work also extends to existing drainage systems, including alterations, repairs and remedial works. Whether forming part of a new development or resolving an issue with existing infrastructure, we focus on practical, reliable solutions designed around the requirements of each project.
FROM EXCAVATION TO COMPLETE UNDERGROUND INFRASTRUCTURE
Our work covers more than drainage alone. We undertake the excavation and installation of underground infrastructure for domestic properties, commercial premises and new developments, including foul and surface water drainage, inspection chambers, manholes, soakaways and associated pipework.
We also carry out trenching and duct installation for essential services, including water, electricity, gas and telecommunications. Working alongside the relevant utility providers and specialist contractors where required, we can prepare service routes, install suitable ducting and undertake the necessary backfilling and reinstatement.
Whether installing infrastructure for a new development or upgrading existing systems, we consider site conditions, existing services and the requirements of each installation to deliver practical, well-coordinated groundworks.
Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve answered some of the questions we’re asked most often about drainage and infrastructure works. If you can’t find the information you’re looking for, please get in touch and we’ll be happy to discuss your project and provide honest advice.
How do I know what drainage solution my property needs?
Every site is different, so the right solution depends on the existing drainage, ground conditions, levels and the nature of the problem or proposed works. We can assess the requirements and discuss the most practical way forward before work begins.
Can you work from drainage plans or specifications?
Yes. Where drainage plans, engineer’s details or specifications have been provided, we can carry out the works accordingly. We can also work alongside other contractors and professionals where drainage forms part of a larger project.
Will you locate existing underground services before excavation?
We take care when carrying out excavation works and use appropriate detection equipment to help identify existing underground services before digging. Where service information or plans are available, these can also be reviewed before work begins.
Can drainage work be completed as part of a larger groundworks project?
Yes. This is actually one of the advantages of the range of work we undertake. Drainage can be incorporated alongside foundations, site preparation, new builds, landscaping and other groundworks, reducing the need to coordinate several separate contractors.
Do drainage works require Building Regulations approval or permission?
It depends on the work being undertaken. Some drainage works may need to comply with Building Regulations, local authority requirements or permissions relating to connections and discharge. Where these apply, they should be established as part of planning the project.
