- Deep and Shallow Drainage
S.T. Construction provides skilled labour for both deep and shallow drainage projects, supporting residential, commercial, and industrial developments with customised solutions to manage water effectively.
Proper drainage is critical in construction to avoid issues like flooding, soil erosion, and structural damage, which makes the expertise and quality of labour essential in ensuring the effectiveness and durability of these systems. By offering specialised labour for shallow and deep drainage installations, we contribute to the long-term stability and safety of its clients projects across Nottingham and the surrounding areas.



Shallow Drainage Labour Services
Shallow drainage systems are designed to manage surface water, including rain runoff and minor water flows, diverting them away from structures, roads, and landscapes.
These systems typically lie close to the surface and include elements such as surface channels, French drains, swales, and guttering systems. Our labour team has the expertise to handle the specific requirements of shallow drainage installation, such as determining the correct gradients, materials, and layouts for optimal water diversion. Skilled labour is crucial in ensuring that channels are properly aligned to prevent water from pooling or eroding the ground.
In shallow drainage projects, our team undertakes tasks like trenching, installing catch basins, setting up perforated pipes, and laying gravel, ensuring each component is positioned accurately. Because these systems often manage rainfall and minor flooding, the labour force must be proficient in adjusting installations according to soil type, slope, and the volume of expected water flow. The team’s technical skills and experience allow them to efficiently install and optimise shallow drainage solutions in a variety of environments, reducing the risk of overflow and erosion issues in outdoor areas like driveways, parking lots, and landscaped spaces.
Deep Drainage Labour Services
Deep drainage, on the other hand, is designed to handle underground water and is commonly used for buildings with basements, high water tables, or areas prone to groundwater infiltration.
This system requires extensive excavation, heavy machinery, and specialised labour to install the network of pipes and channels at greater depths. Our labour team is well-versed in deep drainage techniques, including the use of heavy machinery, safe trenching practices, and the secure installation of pipes capable of withstanding underground pressure. Deep drainage labour involves tasks like deep trench excavation, pipe laying, and soil backfilling, all of which require experience and precision to ensure a leak-free, long-lasting system.
S T Construction equips its labour team with the necessary safety training and certifications to work in deep trenches, often dealing with confined spaces and substantial soil pressure. Our workers are experienced in installing reinforced drainage pipes that can support the weight and conditions associated with deeper installations. This expertise ensures that deep drainage systems will provide effective groundwater control, which is vital for the stability of foundations and below-ground structures like parking garages, basements, and tunnels.
