RELIABLE DRAINAGE SOLUTIONS FOR PUBLIC OPEN SPACES

In the creation and maintenance of these public open spaces, carefully engineered drainage and civil infrastructure is necessary for ongoing safety, usability and long-term durability. Done correctly, good civil infrastructure should go unnoticed by the public, as the installed systems and utilities are designed to operate optimally without any disruption to park activities.

SVC Products is a trusted Victorian manufacturer and supplier of high-performing, industry-compliant stormwater and civil products used to build new public parks, sports ovals and playspaces. Its diverse product range contains many essential solutions such as stormwater pits, access covers, drainage grates and concrete kerbing. With stock readily available to dispatch Victoria-wide, SVC provides reliable support to civil and landscape contractors working on open space projects.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT

Efficient stormwater management is an important component of civil infrastructure for parks and reserves. Site levels must be adequately prepared for effective drainage, ensuring there is no ponding or flooding during extreme weather events. SVC’s civil range of products includes precast stormwater pits and drainage grates used for the construction of the underground drainage network, enabling the swift, efficient diversion of rainwater away from pedestrian surfaces, keeping them safe for users.

Other relevant stormwater products include baffle pits and stormwater detention/retention systems – products that enable the control of stormwater discharge rates by holding stormwater in a detention chamber before its gradual release into the drainage network. This is an effective method to prevent flooding and soil erosion during heavy rain events, preserving the safety and integrity of shared public spaces.

KERBING AND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

A clear distinction between pedestrian and vehicle zones in public open spaces drives safety and efficient traffic flow. SVC’s product catalogue includes robust traffic management solutions such as spiked kerbs and wheel stops for carparks, concrete speed humps for slowing down traffic, and exposed aggregate kerbs for traffic medians and nature strips that are both heavy-duty and aesthetically pleasing.

SVC has also recently launched an innovative Bike Lane Kerb Separator product – an on-road kerbing unit for bike lanes with two different side profiles, catering to the unique needs of cyclists and drivers. This product was developed after many consultations with local councils, in an effort to create a safe, functional and economical solution for long-term use.

Public environments rely on precise civil design for stormwater and traffic management, ensuring these systems can work optimally once installed with minimal maintenance required. As a longstanding, trusted partner of the infrastructure industry, SVC Products offers reliable, high-quality products that achieve this purpose, assisting contractors and asset owners in the delivery of functional, durable environments.
