THE WORKS ARE COMPLETED IN STAGES:
Liability survey involves advising utility clients whether or not the reported problems are their liability or the landowners. One of our experienced team will survey the land and reported problem areas using the latest GPS technology which will record the location of the current drainage plan.
As per all phases of work this phase includes a site inspection report, Record of Condition (ROC) and CAD Drawing.
Land Drainage investigations by excavator are completed to fully establish liability and to assist the production of a remedial drainage design if required.
Risk assessment and Method statement and Pre-Construction Information are included as well as the Investigation report/drawing and costings for the installation of remedial land drainage.
Installation works AUS liaise with the landowner to arrange timings of the installation and complete a full ROC during pre-entry, during and post works.
Documentation included in Phase 3 works: Detailed Design Drawings, Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS), Land Drainage Installation Phase Plan (CPP), Pre-Construction Information (PCI), Full Drainage Design Risk Assessment (DRA), Full Location Field Plans with Emergency Procedures, Full Utility Searches (Inc LSBUD, Line Search)
Agricultural Land Drainage
Our agricultural land drainage projects include a field assessment, using the latest GPS technology to collect the topographical information we need. This will enable us to help create a detailed and precise 3D model for each field, detailed ground profiles and the various watershed areas to assist with the most efficient and cost effective and drainage designs and installations for our clients.
Land drainage is the building block of productive farming. It is vital that we get it right to ensure stable soil structure, minimise run off and retain vital nutrients in the soil for plant growth and yield.
The benefits of land drainage to the farming sector can be substantial with improved crop yields, better access to water and oxygen for plant roots allowing an increased soil mineral nitrogen intake. Land drainage will improve better access to land with reduced risk of water logging and quicker accessibility to fields following long durations of wet weather, as this is persistently becoming more of common problem due to unpredictable weather patterns and climatic changes. Further decreasing the risk and preventing potential soil and pollutants into watercourses, minimise flooding in rural and urban areas, and maximise soil trafficability and productivity with improved management of water holding capacity of the soils through optimal drainage designs by alleviating compaction and erosion.
We work closely with our clients to ensure that the timing of works are started and completed at a time that suits them, with a history of farming we understand that timings are key for a busy farm. Once the drainage has been installed we will provide a detailed final plan of the works undertaken.
Agricultural Land Drainage Services include but are not limited to:
1. GPS Field Assessment Survey
2. CAD Drainage Design
3. Drainage Installation
4. Trenchless Water Pipe Installation
5. Electric Cable installation.
6. Ditching Works
7. Deep Subsoiling
8. Mole Ploughing

Surveying & Design
Our agricultural land drainage projects include field assessments, using the latest GPS technology to collect the topographical information we need. They will also include gaining historic information to understand any previous drainage plans and schemes that have been implemented, any underground services, above ground structures and cropping rotations to take into account the current treatment of the soils together with future uses. This will enable us to help create a detailed and precise 3D model for each field, detailed ground profiles and the various watershed areas to assist with the most efficient and cost effective land drainage designs and installations for our clients. We use specialised dedicated software to optimise the most efficient design and future maintenance with the placement of optimal outfalls locations.

Ditching & Outfalls
Ditching: fundamental to efficient and effective drainage schemes
Clear and regularly maintained ditches are one of the key components of an efficient and properly operating drainage design.
It is vital that land drainage is done correctly to ensure stable soil structure, minimise run off and retain vital nutrients in the soil for plant growth and yield. It is then imperative to have a ditch maintenance program in place as this is too important to be left. The majority of the water that flows through any drainage system will eventually end up in a ditch via the outfall and therefore it is vitally important all ditches and outfalls are maintained to a good standard allowing the water to flow freely through the outfalls and along the ditches. If ditches and outfalls are not maintained this will have a deteriorating effect within your fields and the ground water will build up and start to waterlog your fields.
AUS has carried out the creation of new ditches for Augean around their sites who are a nationwide waste treatment and disposal company. We also carryout a wide range of ditch maintenance programs for other clients both farmers and utility clients.
AUS Installed Concrete Canvas over a length of a 40m ditch line to form a permanent protection over the course of two days in inclement weather conditions, CCT3™ provided a rapid and easy to install concrete lining solution, providing a long term visible shallow cover protection to the pipeline while still managing to reduce the logistical footprint of the project.
