A smarter stormwater system, built to handle tomorrow.
Abbotts has always delivered when it comes to drainage. But increasingly, our work goes beyond emergency callouts or residential repairs—we’re helping public institutions future-proof their infrastructure. That was the case at Takapuna Grammar School, where we were brought in to upgrade and reconfigure key parts of the stormwater network across the school grounds.
The brief: Improve drainage performance, support long-term site usage, and complete the job safely around a busy school timetable.
Heavy machinery, delicate footprint
Stormwater upgrades might sound simple—but beneath the surface, they require thoughtful design, solid trenching, and the ability to work within constraints.
At Takapuna Grammar, the job included:
Excavating aged drainage lines and infrastructure
Installing new concrete manholes and junction pits
Upgrading stormwater pipes for higher flow capacity
Laying new concrete slabs to reinstate and protect the upgraded network
Careful restoration of greenspaces, asphalt, and driveways
Our team managed the full scope of civil works, from machinery movement and pipe fusion through to final concrete pours—all while ensuring the site remained clean, compliant, and low-impact for students and staff.
Capability that extends beyond the tools
What sets Abbotts apart isn’t just our equipment—it’s our ability to deliver coordinated, high-quality infrastructure solutions that keep pace with modern demands. Projects like this show how we can integrate civil, drainage, and siteworks to produce a result that lasts.
We’re proud to support:
Schools and council facilities
Public infrastructure upgrades
Long-term drainage renewals
Sites with complex layouts or limited access
We understand the pressure of balancing project delivery with everyday operations—and we’re ready to make it work.
