Service pits are versatile underground chambers that provide access to a variety of utilities in Perth’s infrastructure.
Whether housing electrical connections, communication cables, water metre assemblies, or other service equipment, these concrete pits allow technicians to reach and maintain buried services without disruptive excavation.
Our team specialises in constructing service pits in Perth that are durable, safe, and tailored to the specific needs of each utility.
By building high-quality service pits, we ensure that power, telecom, and plumbing networks can be serviced efficiently while keeping the infrastructure protected from the elements and accidental damage.
Containing joints in underground power cables or housing streetlight wiring connections.
Providing access to NBN, telephone, or fibre-optic cable junctions (often called cable pits for telecom networks).
Protecting water valves and metres in a subsurface box for easy reading and maintenance.
Housing irrigation system controls or gas line valves for commercial facilities and parks.
Each application may have specific size and cover requirements, but all service pits share the goal of protecting vital equipment while granting ready access for authorised personnel.
Our construction methods follow all relevant standards and local authority requirements for utility pits. We use heavy-duty covers that comply with Australian Standard AS 3996 for load ratings. Select Class B or Class D covers as appropriate based on whether the pit is in a footpath or a trafficable area. We also adhere to specific guidelines from utility companies; for instance, communications pits will meet NBN/Telstra specifications, and water service pits will align with Water Corporation standards. Safety is a priority: we maintain clearances from other underground services as mandated by regulations, and our installation process includes proper trench shoring and barricading to protect workers and the public during construction. By following these standards and best practices, our service pits provide secure and safe access points that utility companies and contractors can rely on for years to come.
