At RG Structural Engineers, we boast strong relationships with various UK sewerage undertaker companies and possess extensive knowledge of their requirements, particularly in obtaining drainage approvals. Our expertise uniquely positions us to prepare and secure agreements for sewer diversions or build-over agreements essential to support development proposals.
When a sewer pipe, adopted by the sewage undertaker, conflicts with development plans, a formal build-over agreement or diversion, as per Section 185 of the Water Industry Act 1991, with the sewerage authority becomes necessary to approve the required works.
Choosing between diversion or build-over depends on factors such as the span, size, and depth of the pipe in conflict, as well as cost considerations associated with each option.

From designing and installing foul or surface drainage systems to constructing pump pits/pumping stations, we deliver tailored solutions to meet project requirements.

1. What are Sewer Diversions & Buildover Agreements?
Sewer diversions and build-over agreements are legal requirements under the Water Industry Act 1991 (Section 185) when a developer's proposed improvements conflict with existing sewage infrastructure. These agreements facilitate the alteration or removal of relevant pipes to accommodate the development, ensuring compliance and mitigating any disruptions.
2. When are Sewer Diversions or Buildover Agreements Required?
Sewer diversions or build-over agreements are necessary when a developer's plans intersect with adopted sewage infrastructure. This could include scenarios where the proposed development affects the route or integrity of existing sewer pipes.
3. What Factors Determine the Need for a Diversion or Build-over Agreement?
The decision to opt for a diversion or build-over agreement depends on several factors such as the length, size, and depth of the conflicting pipe, as well as the associated costs. A thorough assessment of these variables guides the selection of the most appropriate solution.
4. How Does RG Structural Engineers Assist in Obtaining these Agreements?
RG Structural Engineers offers comprehensive support throughout the process of securing sewer diversions or build-over agreements. From preparing necessary documentation to liaising with relevant authorities, our team ensures a streamlined and efficient approval process.
