ACCREDITATIONS
Safe, Controlled & Professionally Managed Sewer Connections
Section 106 sewer connections can involve deep excavations, groundwater, confined spaces, existing utilities and works within highways or other constrained environments.
Effective planning and experienced site management are therefore essential.
R W Services combines drainage expertise with extensive highway and civil engineering experience, allowing us to manage the complete construction interface rather than treating the sewer connection in isolation.
What is a Section 106 Sewer Connection?
Under Section 106 of the Water Industry Act 1991, developers can seek to communicate a drain or sewer with a public sewer, subject to the relevant statutory process and requirements.
For construction projects, this commonly involves creating a new connection between private development drainage and an existing adopted sewer.
Depending on the location, depth and existing network, the physical works may involve excavation, temporary works, new manholes or chambers, pipe installation, connection into the existing sewer and subsequent reinstatement.
Where connections are located within or adjacent to the highway, additional coordination may also be required for traffic management, permits and highway reinstatement.
R W Services provides the civil engineering capability needed to safely construct these connections and associated drainage infrastructure.

Section 106 Sewer Connection FAQs
If you cannot see your question answered here, please include it with your enquiry and we will respond with project-specific advice.
What is a Section 106 sewer connection?
Section 106 of the Water Industry Act 1991 provides a statutory route concerning communication of drains and sewers with public sewers. On developments, the term is commonly used to describe an approved connection from development drainage into the public sewer network.
Do you arrange the Section 106 application?
The exact responsibilities depend on the project and sewerage undertaker. We primarily undertake the physical construction works and can work from the approved connection details provided for the scheme. We can review the project information and advise what is required before construction.
Can you undertake deep sewer connections?
Yes. We undertake deep drainage works subject to assessment of ground conditions, excavation requirements, temporary works and other project-specific constraints.
Can you work within the highway?
Yes. Highway construction is one of our core capabilities. Where the connection requires excavation within a highway, we can coordinate the drainage works with the necessary traffic management and highway reinstatement requirements.
Do you construct manholes?
Yes. We construct new drainage chambers and manholes and can undertake alterations to existing chambers where required by the approved design.
Can you reinstate the road afterwards?
Yes. Unlike contractors specialising solely in drainage, R W Services also provides highway construction and asphalt surfacing capability, allowing us to undertake associated permanent reinstatement.
Can you price from drainage drawings?
Yes. Send us the approved drainage drawings, connection details, site location and programme information. Providing sewer records and available surveys will also help us assess the works.
What areas do you cover?
We undertake drainage and sewer connection works across Birmingham, the Black Country, Coventry, Warwickshire and the wider Midlands.
