From dense urban environments to remote regional developments, our stormwater, sewer, and water main infrastructure service delivers critical water management solutions that support community development, environmental sustainability, and infrastructure resilience across Australia.

OUR LATEST PROJECTS

OUR STORMWATER, SEWER & WATER SERVICES

Drainage Systems

Spencer Civil and Earthworks delivers comprehensive drainage solutions tailored to meet the complex challenges of modern infrastructure. Our team leverages equipment ranging from 5 to 50 tonnes to construct and implement highly efficient drainage systems across diverse terrains. 


We understand that effective water management is critical for preventing erosion, managing surface runoff, and protecting both natural and built environments. Our precision-engineered drainage solutions ensure optimal water flow, minimise potential flooding risks, and integrate seamlessly with existing landscape characteristics.

Retention Ponds

Our retention pond services represent the pinnacle of water management engineering, combining environmental sustainability with robust civil construction expertise. Using our versatile fleet of equipment, we construct meticulously designed retention ponds that effectively capture, store, and gradually release stormwater, reducing peak flow rates and preventing downstream flooding. 


Each retention pond is strategically engineered to enhance local ecosystem resilience, manage water quality, and provide aesthetically pleasing landscape features that serve both functional and ecological purposes. We prioritise long-term performance and environmental stewardship in every project.

Sewer & Water Main Installation

Spencer Civil and Earthworks specialises in precise and reliable sewer and water main installation services, critical infrastructure that forms the backbone of modern urban and rural communities. Our experienced team utilises advanced machinery and rigorous standards to install underground utilities with minimal environmental disruption. 


From high-density urban centres to remote regional locations, we ensure seamless and durable connections that meet and exceed stringent Australian infrastructure standards. Our comprehensive approach includes detailed planning, precise excavation, expert pipe laying, and thorough testing to guarantee the highest quality utility infrastructure.

How do you determine the most suitable stormwater management approach for a specific site?

At Spencer Civil and Earthworks, we follow the water management approach designed & approved by the site's consultant engineers. We precisely implement the engineered design, ensuring strict compliance with technical specifications. Our approach prioritises regulatory adherence, environmental protection, and optimal water management performance, guaranteeing that each project meets exact engineering requirements and site-specific challenges.

What types of projects require stormwater management?

Stormwater management is required for various urban development projects to mitigate environmental impacts and comply with regulatory requirements. The main types of projects that require stormwater management include:


  • Residential subdivisions
  • Apartment complexes
  • Multi-dwelling projects (e.g. townhouses)
  • Commercial subdivisions and developments
  • Industrial subdivisions and developments
  • Public infrastructure projects
  • Brownfield redevelopment sites
  • Road construction projects
  • Mine reclamation projects
  • Quarry rehabilitation initiatives


These projects typically involve implementing various stormwater management strategies, such as:


  1. Structural source controls (e.g., swales, buffer strips, infiltration basins)
  2. Water quality treatment measures (e.g., filtration, sedimentation)
  3. Detention and retention systems
  4. Water-sensitive urban design (WSUD) elements
  5. Stormwater harvesting and reuse systems


Effective stormwater management in these projects aims to reduce flooding risks, improve water quality, protect receiving waterways, and promote sustainable urban development.

How do you handle unexpected challenges during stormwater projects, such as discovering additional drainage issues?

At Spencer Civil and Earthworks, we have a robust protocol for managing unexpected site challenges. If an issue emerges that cannot be resolved within our operational parameters, we immediately halt work and escalate the matter to site management and consultant engineers. Our consultants will develop a strategic resolution, and if the proposed solution involves substantial cost implications, we will promptly prepare and submit a comprehensive contract variation to ensure transparent and agreed-upon project modifications.

How do you address environmental concerns in your stormwater management plans?

At Spencer Civil and Earthworks, we prioritise environmental responsibility through a rigorous pre-tender process. We engage an independent external specialist to develop a comprehensive environmental management plan that meets all council and government regulatory guidelines. This detailed plan is submitted alongside our project tender and must receive explicit approval from relevant governmental and council authorities before our bid can be considered. Upon acceptance, we implement the environmental plan with absolute precision, ensuring strict compliance throughout the project lifecycle.

How do you ensure the effectiveness and longevity of stormwater management systems?

At Spencer Civil and Earthworks, our stormwater management solutions are defined by precision, technical expertise, and a commitment to comprehensive water system design. We recognise that effective stormwater management goes beyond immediate infrastructure, focusing on long-term landscape resilience and ecological protection.


By precisely following plans designed by hydraulic engineers and regulatory experts, we deliver stormwater infrastructure that meets the most stringent Australian water management standards, delivering sustainable and adaptive solutions.
