Stormwater & Drainage Melbourne
Stormwater and drainage move water off a site and into the network — pits, pipework, on-site detention (OSD), gross-pollutant traps, subsoil drains and legal-point-of-discharge connections.
YellowX installs civil stormwater and drainage as part of the earthworks package, so the trenching, bedding, pits and connections are coordinated with levels and the pavement works — one contractor, one program, from the dig to the discharge.

Stormwater & Drainage — FAQs
Do you handle council stormwater connections?
Yes — we install to the water authority/council standards and connect to the legal point of discharge, coordinating inspections and hold points as required.
Can you install OSD tanks and GPTs?
Yes — on-site detention systems, gross-pollutant traps and treatment devices are part of our civil drainage scope, priced by capacity and type.
Is drainage priced with the earthworks?
It usually should be — trenching, bedding and pits share plant and levels with the earthworks, so pricing them together avoids double-handling. We itemise them clearly in the BOQ.
