Choosing the right contractor for underground water works matters.

Poorly completed or non-compliant works can lead to repeat leaks, failed inspections, unnecessary excavation costs, property damage, and potential insurance issues.

Before appointing a contractor, we recommend asking:

• Are they WIAPS or WaterSafe approved?

• Are their engineers trained specifically in underground water infrastructure works?

• Do they carry the correct insurance for excavation works?

• Can they provide evidence of previous underground water infrastructure projects?

• Are their works compliant with water authority regulations?

• Do they offer trenchless installation methods to minimise disruption?
