Boxall Ward recently completed a new foul drain installation and connection to the public sewer in Brighton, East Sussex.

The job involved carrying out the necessary groundworks, installing a new foul drainage run and making the final connection into the public sewer.

New foul drainage installation in Brighton

The customer needed a new foul water connection to the public sewer, together with the installation of a new foul drain.

Foul drainage carries wastewater from toilets, sinks, baths, showers and other household facilities away from a property. Where a new connection or drainage run is required, careful groundwork is essential to ensure the drainage is installed correctly and connects reliably with the existing sewer network.

For this Brighton project, the Boxall Ward team carried out the drainage and groundworks required to create the new foul water connection.

Challenging groundworks completed by hand

This was a particularly demanding job, with the excavation and installation work completed using hand tools rather than mechanical excavation equipment.

That made the work considerably more labour-intensive, particularly as the team was carrying it out during very hot weather.

Despite the challenging conditions, the new foul drain and sewer connection were completed successfully, leaving the property with the required foul water drainage system in place.

Public sewer connection and drainage groundworks

Every drainage project presents its own challenges. Access restrictions, existing drainage layouts, ground conditions and the position of the public sewer can all influence how the work needs to be approached.

This Brighton project is a good example of a job where careful, hands-on groundworks were required rather than relying on heavy excavation machinery.
