With LS Connell Ltd, you do not just get a pipe drainage fitting service. We provide a complete installation package, from planning to testing of installed systems. Consequently, there are many elements that make up this service, and we outline some of these below. When you choose our groundwork contractors for surface water or foul drainage installations in Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas, you can expect a professional, managed service which includes everything you need.
Depending on the requirements of your project, we can even undertake site enabling works, bulk excavation and various groundwork services. We also cover site clearance, sewage treatment plants, waste handling and site surveys.
To deliver a successful drainage system, it is essential to consider its layout and how all components will fit together. It must also comply with building regulations. With this in mind, our planning service ensures:
Our groundwork contractors survey your site in Milton Keynes and produce drawings for your drainage project. As well as aiding drain design, surveys can help plan practical aspects of the job, such as necessary site enabling works. Surveys are also a key part of our bulk excavation service.
LS Connell undertakes all excavations for new foul drainage installations. It is important to plan installations before excavating because industry guidance is to backfill as soon as possible. Trenches must be supported during installation and be as narrow as possible.
It is also necessary to lay an appropriate aggregate on the bottom of the trench to create a sturdy bed for pipework. We also complete suitable excavations for septic tanks, cesspits and sewage treatment plants.
Obviously, a crucial part of our drainage installation service is the laying of pipes, connection to mains sewerage and the installation of wastewater treatment systems. Our groundwork contractors lay pipes in a way that ensures the correct gradients and allows proper flow. Where a public sewer is close enough, we connect foul drainage to the mains sewer network.
For rural properties where connection to mains sewerage is not feasible, we provide full installation services for sewage treatment plants, septic tanks and cesspits.
We can also help determine appropriate bedding and backfill materials
At LS Connell Ltd, we carry out a thorough test of drainage systems after installation. This includes air pressure tests to ensure drains perform properly, with no leaks at the joints. In some cases, a water pressure test may also be required.
New drainage installations in Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas also require a building control inspection.
Remember, our team can provide comprehensive services for the initial stages of your project, including site enabling works, bulk excavation and groundworks, and foul and surface water drainage.
