At Zack Contractors we provide specialist services for the design and construction of Section 106 (S106) adoptable drainage systems, ensuring full compliance with water authority requirements for long-term operation and maintenance.
Under Section 106 of the Water Industry Act 1991, developers must obtain approval to connect to the public sewer network. Our experienced team supports clients through the entire process — from planning and technical approvals to installation and final adoption. All works are delivered to the highest standards of quality, health & safety, and environmental compliance, ensuring a smooth adoption process and long-term functionality of your drainage infrastructure.
Our Section 106 drainage services include:
Foul & Surface Water Connections
Construction of new connections to existing public sewer systems, including manholes, inspection chambers, and junctions.
Adoptable Sewer Installation
Laying of foul and surface water drainage networks to national and local water authority standards (e.g., Sewers for Adoption or Design & Construction Guidance).
Pump Stations & Rising Mains
Design and installation of adoptable pumping stations and associated rising mains where gravity systems are not feasible.
Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)
Integration of SuDS features such as attenuation tanks, swales, permeable paving, and soakaways, where required by planning or water authorities.
Pre-Connection Testing & CCTV Surveys
Pressure testing, jetting, and CCTV inspections to ensure systems meet technical and adoption criteria.
