Pezzimenti completes drain diversion

900 mm concrete pipe on Ashburton drain diversion

The company uses its own Pezzimenti-developed laser-guided microtunnelling systems and specialises in free boring, sleeve boring and pipe jacking methods. 

Last week, Pezzimenti Trenchless completed a job for Transcend Plumbing, having been engaged to construct a council drain diversion at Markham Ave in Ashburton. 

The project was tendered by the City of Boroondara to divert flow to allow for a new government housing estate to be constructed on the site.

The team used a Pezzimenti Laserbore with 1,050 mm diameter to bore through clay ground conditions to a depth of 3 m, before installing a 900 mm reinforced concrete pipe using the free bore method. 

This was the company’s first project for Transcend, and according to Pezzimenti Director Joe Pezzimenti, it set a great precedent for future working relations. 

“The project was a successful collaboration between Transcend and Pezzimenti,” he said.

“All OH&S requirements were catered for and Transcend provided a great working site with good access and conditions.”
