Project requirements

Concrete penetrations for plumbing & drainage

Plumbing and drainage work may need circular pipe penetrations or saw cuts for slab and pavement openings. The required hole size and cut layout should follow the installation details.

Schedule pipe penetrations

List the required hole diameters in millimetres, the quantity and the position of each penetration. Include concrete thickness where known and identify wall or slab locations. State any angle or finish requirement for office review; do not assume every configuration has been accepted.

Separate concrete cuts from plumbing installation

For slab or pavement openings, show the cut layout and the intended result. The plumbing design, excavation, installation and reinstatement are separate scope items unless expressly agreed. Share information about existing services and any investigations already arranged.

Coordinate access and the following trade

Give the full address and the access arrangements for the work area. Explain occupied areas, restricted hours and when the following trade needs the opening. Include how cut sections will be supported or removed and who owns those tasks.

Your enquiry checklist

  • Penetration diameters, quantities and locations
  • Marked slab-cut or opening layout
  • Known concrete thickness and services information
  • Installation sequence and access requirements

Send what you know and identify details still being confirmed. These guides help describe a project; the agreed site-specific scope determines the work.

Plumbing & drainage projects FAQs

These answers help you prepare an enquiry. For requirements specific to your site, talk to the office.

Discuss your project
Should a core hole be the same diameter as the pipe?

Use the finished penetration diameter specified for the installation, including any sleeve or required clearance. If only the pipe size is known, send that size and the installation drawing so the opening requirement can be clarified.

What is needed for a drainage-trench cutting quote?

Provide the trench alignment and width, total saw-cut lengths, required depth and surface material. Identify known services, access windows and who handles breaking, excavation, spoil and reinstatement.

Does concrete drilling include waterproofing or pipe installation?

Those tasks are separate from forming the opening. State the sealing, waterproofing, installation and making-good requirements, then confirm who provides each item in the agreed scope.
