Each project requires a degree of design work to be undertaken for Planning and Building Licence matters. The level of design and documentation is dependent of the type of project, the nature of the site and the complexity of the project. By designing and documentating the hydraulic services many issues are resolved prior to construction. Such issues are as follows:

  • The suitability of infrastructure (Authority supply services);
  • Co-ordination with other service disciplines (mechanical, electrical & structural);
  • Service requirements and future planning can be incorporated into staged developments (master planning);
  • Site conditions, minimization of environmental impact (stormwater & wastewater disposal).
