Drainage repairs up to 6 metres deep and asphalt reinstatement across an occupied residential estate in Horsham.

Civio completed extensive drainage repair and asphalt reinstatement works at Solomon Seal Estate. The project involved complex civil engineering operations within an occupied residential environment, requiring careful planning, effective traffic and pedestrian management, and close coordination with residents to minimise disruption.

Works carried out

1. Extensive foul and surface water drainage repairs across the estate
2. Deep excavations reaching approximately 6 metres, with appropriate temporary works and excavation safety measures
3. Removal and replacement of damaged drainage infrastructure
4. Excavation backfilling, compaction and reinstatement
5. Approximately 1,000 linear metres of asphalt reinstatement across the residential road network
6. Management of plant, equipment, deliveries and vehicle movements within an occupied residential area
7. Coordination with residents to maintain safe access wherever practicable

The challenge

The project presented significant logistical and technical challenges, particularly the depth of the drainage excavations and the need to carry out construction work within an occupied residential estate.

Civio managed these challenges through careful sequencing of the works, site supervision and ongoing communication with residents and other stakeholders.

The result

The drainage repairs and asphalt reinstatement were completed successfully, showing Civio’s capability to deliver complex civil engineering and infrastructure work in challenging residential environments, with quality workmanship, effective project management and professional delivery.
