    Hey guys

    Anyone have any experience with having storm water drains relocated for development?

    I have a site which needs a extra crossover to gain a extra carpark. But the only spot I think I could put it means the crossover would only be 2m wide without moving this storm drain. Hence the need to move the drain.

    By storm drain I mean the double concrete lids where the council gutters are.

    Any suggestions of price or cost would be appreciated.

    You can do it but you would need the hydraulic engineer to sign off on it.  Its not hard to do.

    Why move it when you could possibly design a solution which will have trafficable lids over the existing drain?
