Highway Drainage and Gully Maintenance Around Farnham
2 min readFarnhamBy AA Drainage
Standing water on roads and estate driveways is dangerous and damages the surface. Good highway drainage moves water off quickly. Around Farnham we work on private roads, estates and commercial sites.
What highway drainage includes
Typical elements we install and repair:
- Road gullies and gully pots
- Kerb drains and channel drains
- Carrier pipes and catchpits
- Outfalls to soakaways or watercourses
Why gullies fail
Leaves, grit and silt fill gully pots, especially in autumn. Broken grates, sunken frames and cracked connecting pipes also stop water getting away.
Working to highway standards
For work affecting adopted roads, we follow highway authority specifications and arrange permits and traffic management. For private roads we design a system that suits the traffic and rainfall the site sees.
Frequently asked questions
Who maintains drains on a private road?
Usually the owners or management company, not the council.
Can you add drainage to an existing road?
Yes. We can retrofit gullies and channel drains with minimal disruption.
