Stormwater & Drainage
Stormwater & Drainage Brisbane | Urban Earth & Civil
Pits, pipes, and surface drainage installed as part of your civil site works across Brisbane and South East Queensland. Integrated with engineering plans and designed for practical, long-term runoff management.
What we deliver
Effective stormwater and drainage is critical to any civil or construction project. We install pits, pipes, and surface drainage systems as part of our site works, ensuring water is managed properly from day one.
We work directly from civil engineering plans, coordinating with hydraulic engineers and project managers to make sure every connection, fall, and invert level is correct. Our team understands the practical side of drainage — not just the drawings.
From residential subdivisions to commercial developments, we deliver drainage solutions that meet council requirements, handle Brisbane's weather conditions, and protect the investment in your site works.

These services are often delivered alongside stormwater & drainage as part of a complete civil works package.
Site Cuts
Drainage is typically installed during or immediately after the site cut — integrating stormwater management into the earthworks scope.

Retaining Walls
Retaining walls require proper drainage behind them. We install ag-pipe and drainage aggregate as part of every wall build.

Bulk Earthworks
On larger development sites, drainage infrastructure is installed as part of the bulk earthworks program — swales, pits, and trunk lines.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work from engineering plans?
Yes. We work directly from civil and hydraulic engineering drawings. We coordinate with the engineer and project manager to ensure every connection, fall, and invert level is correct.
What does drainage installation cost?
Drainage pricing depends on the scope, pipe sizes, number of pits, and site conditions. We provide detailed quotes after reviewing your engineering plans. Contact us with your details and we'll come back to you quickly.
Can you install drainage as part of a site cut?
Absolutely. Drainage is often installed as part of the broader earthworks package — site cut, pad preparation, retaining walls, and drainage all in one scope.
Do you handle council compliance for drainage?
We install drainage to meet council requirements and engineering specifications. The engineer and project manager typically handle the compliance certification, and we coordinate with them throughout.
Can you install ag-pipe behind retaining walls?
Yes. Ag-pipe and drainage aggregate behind retaining walls is a standard inclusion in all our wall builds. Proper drainage is critical to wall performance and longevity.
What areas do you service for drainage work?
We service Brisbane and the broader South East Queensland region — including Bayside, Logan, Redlands, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, and surrounding areas within approximately 100km of Brisbane.
