Sub-Horizontal Drainage
Expert subhorizontal and civil Drainage contractors for reliable groundwater control and site safety
The removal and/or control of groundwater is often required to allow construction or mining projects to proceed efficiently
Managing groundwater systems is critical to site preparation in construction, civil, and mining projects. Uncontrolled water ingress can delay works, compromise site safety, and lead to long-term soil instability or structural failure.
As one of Australia’s trusted Civil drainage contractors, we deliver specialist sub-horizontal drainage solutions tailored to each site’s needs.
Our experienced team works with clients across diverse terrains and project types to design, install, and manage effective drainage systems that reduce groundwater levels, improve excavation conditions, and protect surrounding infrastructure.
