Essex & Suffolk Water Section 104 Surveys

Essex & Suffolk Water Section 104 surveys are instrumental in making drainage systems adoptable under the Essex & Suffolk Water adoption standards. Our Subvision Surveys team provides detailed surveys that examine the entire drainage system for compliance with all the relevant standards.

By identifying problems at an early stage, we allow developers to avoid delays and reduce the need for costly remedial work. Our experienced team provides succinct, actionable reports that ensure the system meets every standard for successful adoption.

We also provide Hartlepool Water Section 104 Surveys, ensuring approvals are trouble-free across the different water authorities

A Section 104 agreement is a legal agreement under the Water Industry Act 1991, allowing a developer to construct new sewers to an agreed standard that the water company will then adopt. Submissions must comply with the Design and Construction Guide published by Water UK, a mandatory technical framework enforced under the Code for Adoption, and developers are generally expected to have a signed agreement in place before construction of new sewers begins. Getting survey and design information right from the outset helps avoid delays at this stage.

Accurate survey data supports a Section 104 application at more than one stage. Early on, topographical and drainage survey information helps inform sewer design and layout in line with Water UK’s technical requirements. Towards the end of the agreed maintenance period, a CCTV survey of the completed sewers is typically required before a water company will issue final sign-off and formally adopt the network, confirming the sewers have been built and maintained to the required standard throughout.
