Sewer diversions & buildover agreements

"Sewer diversion project executed by RG Engineers"

At RG Structural Engineers, we boast strong relationships with various UK sewerage undertaker companies and possess extensive knowledge of their requirements, particularly in obtaining drainage approvals. Our expertise uniquely positions us to prepare and secure agreements for sewer diversions or build-over agreements essential to support development proposals.

When a sewer pipe, adopted by the sewage undertaker, conflicts with development plans, a formal build-over agreement or diversion, as per Section 185 of the Water Industry Act 1991, with the sewerage authority becomes necessary to approve the required works.

Choosing between diversion or build-over depends on factors such as the span, size, and depth of the pipe in conflict, as well as cost considerations associated with each option.

From emergency drainage repairs and scheduled maintenance to designing and executing larger civil projects, our experienced engineers provide expert assistance and guidance regardless of project scale.
