Products For New Estates and Subdivisions

Stock Pits & Risers

SVC's standard range of precast concrete knockout pits and risers are applicable for use in new or existing stormwater infrastructure.

Made-to-Order Stormwater Pits

Custom-made stormwater pits are manufactured to suit specific dimensions and include precast holes for easy pipe installation, offering a time-saving solution for busy civil contractors.

Catch Pits

SVC's Grated Catch Pit System is an easy-install solution that simplifies the capturing of road runoff and allows flexibility in the placement of behind-kerb drainage pits.

GridLite Evo Lightweight Covers

GridLite Evo is an evolutionary range of lightweight polymeric access covers for roadworks, maintenance and construction. These durable lightweight covers weigh just 25kg each and are compliant with Load Class B as per AS3996:2019.

Ductile Iron Covers

Ductile iron (cast iron) access covers are used in a wide range of civil applications. They are load-tested and compliant with AS3996:2019 in Classes B, D and E, and are manufactured with a standard bolt-down facility for security.

Temporary Covers

Temporary Pit Covers are a non-permanent, easy-install solution to quickly cover up exposed pits and trenches on job sites, reducing the risk of injury to workers and pedestrians from slipping or falling.

Sewer Covers

SVC's high quality cast iron sewer and manhole covers provide robust access in various sewer infrastructure applications. They are available in raw cast iron or high-strength precast concrete.

Flat Stormwater Grates

Flat grates by SVC are a high-value, low-cost solution for off-road and behind-kerb storm water drainage applications. Available in various sizes and load classes with a bike-safe forgebar design.

Pedestrian-Safe Grates

Pedestrian-safe grates (also known as heelguard or heelsafe) are used in areas that receive high pedestrian traffic. Their expanded mesh surface design means grate openings are much smaller, preventing items from falling through.

Trench Grates

Available in a variety of widths and in 1m length modules, SVC's trench grates are made from robust galvanised steel, housed within a steel frame that can be easily concreted and installed over exposed trenches.

Trench Channel Sets

SVC's trench channel sets are composed of a steel grate and formed channel that allows an easy-install, drop-in solution for linear drainage applications. Trench channel grates are load-rated to Class B as per AS 3996:2019.

Pipe Grilles

SVC manufactures galvanised steel pipe grilles to suit Melbourne Water drainage specifications. Certain standard sizes are available in stock, and larger custom sizes with access hatches can be supplied on a made-to-order basis.

Permanent Survey Marks

Permanent survey marks (PSMs) are used in surveying for vertical control, marking out key points of known elevation.

Property Inlets

Dished property inlets are used to direct stormwater runoff from private properties into council easement drains

Frequently asked questions

Is a VicRoads kerb lintel different from a standard council lintel?

Yes, VicRoads kerb lintels have their own dimensional and structural requirements that typically differ from those used by local councils. For example, the rebate behind the kerb lintel is typically 70-100mm deep for council kerb lintels, but is 125mm deep for VicRoads kerb lintels.

Ensuring you use the correctly specified product is essential - contact the SVC team if you require assistance with your specification.

Are SVC’s kerb lintels accepted for use on VicRoads-owned roads?

Yes - SVC offers a number of VicRoads-specific kerb lintels that are manufactured in compliance with VicRoads Standard Drawings, making them the approved product for these applications.

Applicable Standard Drawings include: SD 1061 / 1271 / 1272 / 1281 / 1282 / 1301 / 1321 / 1322

How do I know which kerb lintel I need?

To confirm which kerb lintel is required for your project, best practice is to consult the asset owner. Local councils and VicRoads have publicly available standard drawings that denote the specific dimensions and requirements of kerb lintels to be used in their jurisdiction.

If the kerb lintel is being used in an off-road or privately-owned project and does not require compliance with council or VicRoads, customers can select whichever option is best suited for their project.

Variations in kerb lintels include the overall length of the unit, the width of the throat opening, the kerbing profile (B or SM-type), and whether it has legs or is a beam only.

How is a property inlet installed?

The precast block is installed flush with the finished ground level directly above the underground connection point, providing a permanent and visible reference point for the life of the property.

Are these required by the local council?

Many councils and water authorities require property inlets to be installed as part of a new subdivision's construction, as it provides a clear and consistent method for marking these important assets.

What exactly does a property inlet mark?

It typically marks the 'tapping' or connection point where a property's private sewer or stormwater drain connects to the council or water authority's main line, usually at the property boundary.

What is the brass plaque for?

The brass plaque is cast into the top and contains a small, precise centre point. Surveyors place their instruments directly on this point to take their measurements with a high degree of accuracy.

What is a permanent survey mark used for?

It is a fixed, stable monument installed by a licensed surveyor that serves as a reliable reference point for all future surveys, ensuring property boundaries and infrastructure locations are accurately maintained.

Are kerb grates compliant with VicRoads or EDCM standards?

SVC's range of kerb, gully and V grates are bike-safe and manufactured in compliance with AS 3996:2019 in Load Class D, making them applicable for safe, compliant usage in various municipalities. Certain kerb grates (B2, SM2 and SM2 modified) are accepted for use in EDCM applications (i.e. new growth areas and subdivisions).

Standard kerb grates are not suitable for VicRoads applications. Please refer to our VicRoads Grates page for DTP-compliant grates designed to suit the specifications of VicRoads SD 1322, 1411, 1431 and 1441.

Can you make a custom-sized pipe grille?

Yes. In addition to our range of standard sizes designed to fit common pipe diameters, we can fabricate custom pipe grilles to suit unique or non-standard pit or outlet dimensions for your project. These can be made with access hatches as required.

Are SVC pipe grilles lockable?

SVC's standard pipe grilles are designed to be bolted directly over the pit or outlet, with no opening mechanism or allowance for access.

Custom pipe grilles for applications requiring maintenance access can be produced with hinged boltdown hatches, which secures them against unauthorised access while allowing authorised personnel to open them for maintenance.

Where are pipe grilles typically installed?

Pipe grilles are commonly used in Melbourne Water applications on overflow pits, where water overflow from ponds and catchments is redirected into the drainage system to prevent flooding.

They may also be installed over stormwater outlets at the discharge point where stormwater empties into a creek, river, or open drainage channel.
