Where Modbury Heights drainage fails
Most drainage problems at Modbury Heights are not the pipe, they are the level: a run laid too flat to move water, a pad graded back toward the house, or discharge pushed onto a neighbour. Every run is fall-tested before backfill, which is the cheapest moment to fix a flat pipe, long before the paving or slab goes down.
Compaction you can show
Pads are compacted in lifts with testing arranged to the level your engineer specifies, and the test results travel with the completion documents. Where the ground is 1970s fill lenses sitting within the natural clay, doing it by eye is not good enough and the paperwork is not optional.
