Civil Plumbing & Excavation services
Our Services
At Sharp Contracting & Earthworks, we specialise in civil plumbing and excavations that are tailored to your needs.
Our experienced and dedicated technicians are fully equipped, qualified and insured, guaranteeing professional service delivery.
Sewer & Septics
We are accredited plumbers specialising in live sewer works and septic tank services. Our expertise covers both the maintenance of active sewer systems—ensuring uninterrupted flow—and the installation of new sewer connections and septic tanks.
Our team holds the specialised skills and certifications required to carry out this work safely and efficiently, while effectively managing any associated risks. We also adhere to Gippsland local Council requirements.
For property owners in Gippsland, this is particularly important when building in areas not connected to a public sewer network. In such cases, septic tanks offer a reliable and compliant alternative, especially for remote or rural properties.
Stormwater Drains
We design and install effective stormwater drainage systems for residential, roadside, and rural properties.
Residential drainage manages rainwater runoff from homes, preventing flooding by directing water to roadside drains.
Roadside systems—like culverts and kerbs—handle high-flow drainage and are often used in developments or large properties.
Property-specific solutions are vital in rural areas, where poor soil drainage can lead to water buildup. We use aggy drains, channels, and dams to manage flow and prevent damage.
Our certified team handles everything from system design and installation to clearing blockages and performing repairs—ensuring reliable performance and long-term protection.
New House & Unit Developments
New homes and unit developments have several civil plumbing requirements that must be completed and approved before occupancy. This includes connections for sewer/wastewater and stormwater drainage.
While general plumbers can handle internal piping and fixtures, not all are equipped to connect to live sewer systems, install septic tanks, or implement roadside drainage—essential components of modern builds.
At Sharp Contracting & Earthworks, we specialise in civil plumbing and earthworks. We provide expert advice on the most suitable solution for your development, and once approved, we handle the full installation process.
From start to finish, we manage the project using high-quality materials and workmanship to ensure compliance with all plumbing codes—and to prevent costly issues down the line.
Subdivisions
Every subdivision must ensure that each allotment is equipped with essential civil plumbing services before construction begins. This includes mains water, stormwater drainage, wastewater systems, roadside drainage, and live sewer connections.
At Sharp Contracting & Earthworks, we work closely with developers to deliver complete civil plumbing solutions for new housing subdivisions. From initial planning to final installation, we prioritise compliance with all local council and water authority regulations.
If you’re looking for an experienced civil plumbing partner for your subdivision project, contact Sharp Contracting & Eartworks today—we’re here to get the job done right, from the ground up.
Horizontal Directional Drilling
In certain situations, drilling is a smarter and safer alternative to traditional excavation—especially when working around existing structures or under busy roads.
At Sharp Contracting & Earthworks, we use specialised horizontal directional drilling (HDD) equipment to install pipes, conduits, and cables with minimal surface disruption. This trenchless method is ideal for projects where open excavation would be impractical or risky—such as beneath driveways, roads, fences, retaining walls, or landscaped areas.
HDD significantly reduces the risk of damaging existing utilities and infrastructure, making it the preferred option in built-up or congested environments. It’s also faster and cleaner, helping to minimise downtime and site restoration costs.
Whether you’re working on a residential build, commercial site, or infrastructure project, our experienced team can assess your needs and deliver a precise, low-impact solution.
Excavations
At Sharp Contracting & Earthworks, we specialise in all types of excavation work, including projects in tight or limited access areas where standard machinery may not fit. Our skilled team uses the right equipment and techniques to ensure safe, precise, and efficient excavations—even in the most challenging locations.
Whether you need to install, repair, or replace underground infrastructure, we’ve got you covered. We excavate for pipes, stormwater drainage, sewer systems, and other essential services, working to required depths and gradients while protecting surrounding structures and utilities.
In addition to service trenching, we also carry out traditional excavation works, including:
- Site cuts for new builds or extensions
- Landscaping preparation, including shaping and levelling
- Earthmoving and soil removal
We take pride in delivering clean, accurate work with minimal disruption to your site. All excavations are completed to industry standards, with a strong focus on safety, compliance, and efficiency.
If you’re planning a residential, commercial, or subdivision project, contact Sharp Contracting & Earthworks for reliable, professional excavation services—no matter how tight the space.
