Deep Sewer Connection,

Ickford, Buckinghamshire

This project involved the installation of a new 35-metre-long, 3-metre-deep sewer connection to serve a private new-build property in the village of Ickford, Buckinghamshire.


Working within the public highway presented a number of challenges, including a high water table that required continuous groundwater management using pumping equipment to maintain a safe and stable excavation. Our team carefully planned and executed the works to minimise disruption while ensuring the highest standards of safety and workmanship.


Following completion of the sewer connection, the road was fully reinstated to the required NRSWA specification.


 This project demonstrates our expertise in delivering complex deep drainage works safely, efficiently, and with minimal impact on the surrounding area.
