Main sewer connection works across Surrey

A Surrey sewer connection needs a safe route, suitable levels and the correct approvals. It also needs an experienced drainage team to coordinate the work.

AFS supports main sewer connection projects across Guildford, Farnham, Woking, Godalming, Haslemere, Cranleigh, Dorking, Reigate, Redhill, Leatherhead, Epsom, Camberley and surrounding Surrey areas.

Our drainage and civils team includes NRSWA-qualified Street Works operatives and supervisors. NPORS-certificated plant operators support them. Once the project licences and approvals are in place, we can excavate on roads or private land. We also install foul drainage and chambers, make the connection, backfill and reinstate the surface.

Gravity drainage is not always practical. In those cases, AFS can assess and install a foul pumping station and rising main. The system can also include controls, telemetry and emergency storage.

NRSWA and highway capability

NRSWA-qualified operatives and supervisors deliver the highway work. NPORS-certificated plant operators and project-specific Chapter 8 arrangements support them.

Section 106 and authority liaison

We liaise on sewer records and the proposed connection point. We also support Section 106 applications, inspection requirements and final sign-off.

Gravity and pumped connections

AFS installs drainage pipework, chambers and approved connections. Where gravity is unsuitable, we can install a foul pumping station and rising main.

How Surrey sewer connection projects are handled

We start with the sewer records, drawings and proposed connection point. We then check the route, levels, Section 106 requirements and any highway permissions. Traffic management, inspections and reinstatement are also agreed before construction starts.

Feasibility and route

We review the sewer records, site levels, route, access and existing services. This confirms whether a gravity or pumped solution is suitable.

Consents and highway planning

We support the Section 106 process. Where required, we also coordinate Section 50 or other highway permissions, traffic management and Chapter 8 planning.

Construction to handover

Our team completes the agreed excavation, chambers, pipework and connection. We coordinate the inspections, test the system, backfill, reinstate the surface and hand the work over.

The final scope is agreed around actual site conditions and the project-specific requirements of the sewerage undertaker and highway authority.

Main sewer and pumped connection at Newlands Corner, Guildford

A major AFS foul-drainage project for Surrey County Council demonstrates our public-sewer, pumping-station and highway capability.

AFS delivered a major foul-drainage and sewer-connection project for Surrey County Council at Newlands Corner near Guildford.

The scheme included a new foul-water pumping station with twin sewage pumps in a duty/standby arrangement. A wet well of approximately 1.8 m diameter provided about 9 m³ of emergency storage. AFS also installed the controls, telemetry and a rising main of approximately 1.5 kilometres.

The final connection required Thames Water Section 106 consent and Section 50 highway licensing. Chapter 8 traffic management was also required. AFS coordinated the 150 mm foul connection into the 225 mm public foul sewer in Trodd’s Lane.

NRSWA-qualified Street Works personnel and NPORS-certificated plant operators supported the work. The project also required technical submissions, hydraulic calculations and liaison with the relevant authority teams.

Project scope

  • Twin sewage pumps in duty/standby arrangement
  • Approximately 1.8 m-diameter wet well and 9 m³ emergency storage
  • Approximately 1.5 km rising main
  • Pulsar ultrasonic level control with backup floats
  • Telemetry included
  • Thames Water Section 106 and Section 50 highway requirements
  • Chapter 8 traffic-management arrangements
  • 150 mm foul connection into a 225 mm public foul sewer

Completed main sewer connection in Farnham, Surrey

A second completed AFS project demonstrates road excavation, public-sewer chamber work and reinstatement.

At a commercial property in Farnham, AFS completed a new main sewer connection. The excavation ran through the road and inside the property boundary.

AFS built a new manhole over the public sewer and a demarcation chamber inside the boundary. We installed new clay drainage between the chambers, completed the connection, backfilled the excavation and reinstated the surface.

Project scope

  • New manhole over the public sewer
  • Demarcation chamber inside the property boundary
  • New clay drainage between chambers
  • Road excavation
  • Backfill and surface reinstatement
  • Completed public-sewer connection

Main Sewer Connection FAQs for Surrey

Who carries out main sewer connections in Surrey?

Alton Facility Services carries out sewer connections across Surrey for homes, businesses and development sites. Our work includes surveys, excavation, chambers, pipework, connection works and reinstatement.

Do I need approval before connecting to a public sewer?

Usually, yes. The sewerage undertaker controls the connection. It may require drawings, consent and an inspection before or during the work.

Are your teams qualified for public-highway sewer works?

Yes. AFS uses NRSWA-qualified Street Works operatives and supervisors. NPORS-certificated plant operators support them. All work remains subject to the project approvals, highway permissions and traffic-management requirements.

Can AFS deal with the water authority?

Yes. We liaise on sewer records, proposed connection points and Section 106 applications. We also coordinate inspection requirements and final sign-off. The sewerage undertaker remains responsible for granting consent or approval.

Can AFS undertake Section 50 roadworks?

Yes, once the required project-specific highway licence or permit is in place. AFS can carry out the roadworks and coordinate Chapter 8 signing, guarding and traffic management. We also complete the excavation and reinstatement.

Can AFS install a pumped connection where gravity is unsuitable?

Yes. AFS can install a foul pumping station and rising main when site levels, distance or depth make a gravity connection unsuitable.

Can you quote a Surrey sewer connection from drawings?

Yes, if the drawings and approval details are clear. We may still need a site visit to confirm the depth, access, services and reinstatement.
