VicRoads Pits

Compliant Precast Pits for Victorian Road Infrastructure

Description

SVC Civil offers high-quality, compliant VicRoads Pits engineered specifically for use in civil construction projects across Victoria’s road and transport network. They are designed to solve the critical challenge of compliance and produced on a made-to-order basis to suit each project’s unique requirements. Complementary multi-part pit covers, Class D and E grates and VicRoads kerb lintels are also available, ensuring a full product package.

For pits to be compliant for use in Victorian major road infrastructure, they must be certified by an accredited VicRoads-approved engineer to guarantee they meet the stringent specifications set by the Department of Transport & Planning (DTP). SVC achieved the necessary accreditation for our VicRoads Pit production methodology in 2022, providing contractors and asset owners with peace of mind that our purpose-built road drainage solutions satisfy all conditions specified in BTN 033.

Certain projects may require pits outside the BTN size specifications of 2.4m x 2.4m x 4.0m. In these instances, SVC Civil can deliver proof-engineered pits, certified by a third-party engineering authority, that guarantee product conformance and durability.

By opting for SVC’s VicRoads-approved pits and products, you eliminate the risk of project delays or rework caused by non-compliant materials. Our heavy-duty VicRoads Pits form an essential part of our comprehensive range of civil concrete products for road infrastructure, ensuring reliable, long-term performance for state assets.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I identify which VicRoads pit I need for my project?

Your project documentation should specify the required VicRoads pit type or standard drawing code. Our technical sales team can assist in matching these codes to the correct SVC product for your order.

Do you supply the matching VicRoads covers and grates?

Absolutely. We supply the complete, compliant system, including the correctly specified VicRoads-approved access covers or grates to match each pit type. This ensures a perfect fit and guaranteed compliance for the entire installation.

Are VicRoads pits officially approved for use on major Victorian road projects?

Yes. SVC is an approved supplier of precast concrete products for the Victorian Department of Transport. Our VicRoads pits are manufactured in strict accordance with the relevant standard drawings and specifications.

When would I need to use precast pit risers?

Precast pit risers offer a simple solution to adjust the final height of a stormwater, cabling or trade waste pit to achieve the required pit depth, saving time in comparison to getting a custom height made to order.

Pit riser walls include a slight protrusion at the base, allowing them to fit snugly into the pit wall rebate when they are stacked on top of a compatible pit base.

What equipment is required for lifting this product?

It is crucial that all products are lifted using the appropriate lifting tools and techniques to ensure safe transportation and handling. Due to the sheer weight of precast concrete products, any product failure or failure of incorrect lifting equipment poses a high risk to people nearby.

SVC incorporates steel lifting anchors into our precast concrete products, which are compatible with either 1.3T, 2.5T or 5.0 lifting clutches (depending on product weight). Lifting clutches must be connected to the appropriately load-rated lifting chains. All clutches are available to purchase from SVC.

Note: Some SVC pit products may still include lifting holes, which are compatible with 1.0T lifting hooks. Customers must not use these holes to thread chains through for lifting; this is an incorrect technique and is very dangerous as it creates a high chance of pit wall breakage due to the stress from the chain.
