Stormwater Renewal in Brunswick

This client loved the beautiful established trees in their Brunswick garden. Little did they know that the trees were using the old terracotta pipes as their own personal watering system.

It was only when their lawn started getting soggy in a number of spots, that they realised the stormwater was completely blocked and had burst in a number of places. Cue stormwater renewal time!

Preparation & Excavation for new PVC Stormwater Pipes

First, we excavated a narrow trench alongside the house, carefully avoiding the existing hot water service and gas main.

We then laid finely crushed rock (1/4 minus) to give the pipes a solid bed and keep them stable. Then we put in the new 100 mm PVC pipe and connected it to the existing down pipe and storm water outlet.

Finally, we backfilled the trench, cleaned up…and suggested the owner put in a drip system for the thirsty trees.
