Hydraulics Services Overview

Sanitary Drainage incl. Pipework Articulation

Is your new build on a site with a Soil Classification of Class “H1 | H2 | E | P”?
Your build will need Site-Specific Pipework Articulation designed as part of your local council plumbing approval. Be Aware: Some Council’s will accept generic detailing of plumbing articulation within the Soil or Foundation reports, but constructing through interpretation of these details can sometimes be a costly affair, and should a problem ever arise, no one will take responsibility. Our Sanitary designs will ensure design of the most cost-effective solution for your build and ensure safety to your plumbing.

Stormwater Drainage incl. Retention | Detention | Infiltration

Designing a stormwater drainage system involves planning to manage rainwater runoff effectively. Consider site evaluation, calculating runoff, following design criteria, planning flow paths, incorporating infiltration and erosion control measures, ensuring maintenance access, implementing water quality treatment, utilizing green infrastructure, and using hydraulic modelling for optimization. Work with our experienced hydraulic design team for effective stormwater management solutions.

NSW Pipework Articulation Performance Solution Reports

Building in N.S.W.?
Is your Site Classification: Class H1 | H2 | E | P” ?
Since June 2023, The Department of NSW Fair Trading requires for new builds within these classes to be approved under a Pipework Articulation Design & Performance Solution process. Even when your Council is not requesting a site-specific design and approved performance solution, the home-owners new-build warranty will be void for all plumbing related issues, all of New South Wales wide. This includes cracking house, slab & foundation issues, as these are predominantly ground moisture issues, which could be coming from your drainage pipework.

Hot & Cold Potable Water Services

A well-designed water reticulation system is essential for ensuring a reliable water supply at the right pressure & temperature throughout a building. By considering factors such as water supply, pipe sizing, insulation, water heating, valves and controls, maintenance, and accessibility, MAS designers can create a system that meets the needs of occupants while promoting energy efficiency and sustainability.

Roofwater Drainage incl. Charged & Siphonic Systems

Designing a roofwater drainage system considers proper sizing of drainage pipes to prevent overflow, back-charge and efficient discharge. It is important to comply with local building codes and regulations when designing a roofwater drainage system to ensure that the system meets all necessary requirements. Consulting with a professional in drainage design like the MAS team, can help ensure that the system is designed and functioning correctly.

Tempered and Circulating Water Systems

Tempered water systems are designed to provide water at specific temperatures, commonly required within buildings for the purpose of NDIS, Age Care, Childcare, Schools & Hospitals.
Circulating water systems ensure that in large scale buildings or floor plans with singular points of hot water, that the hot water within the pipework is constantly circulated through a closed loop system to ensure that hot water is delivered to fixtures fast, efficiently and to the right temperature.

Box Gutters | Sumps | Rainheads

Box gutters are a common type of gutter used for commercial and residential buildings. They are designed to be integrated into the roof structure, rather than being attached to the edge of the roof like traditional gutters. When designing box gutters, it's important to consider factors such as sizing, fall, material selection, expansion joints, overflow provisions, maintenance access, and compliance with building codes to ensure an effective and durable gutter system for your building. Talk to the MAS team for obtaining a professional design certification.

Wastewater Effluent Disposal

As part of every Site & Soil Evaluation, before submitting to Council for plumbing approval, you will require to have the effluent disposal system and required reserve disposal areas designed. MAS Building Hydraulics designs are different to most in the way that our designs allow every plumber to provide a supply and install quotation without first needing to get the original report re-designed. Due to our process, we are unable to submit to council directly, but our designs leave you open to choose an appropriate system and installer, without being locked in with having to use a designer preferred system or supplier.

Trade Waste Drainage

Trade waste drainage design involves planning and implementing a system to manage industrial or commercial waste drainage. It considers factors like waste type, volume, facility layout, regulations, and environmental concerns. The design includes selecting durable materials, planning layout for proper flow, and incorporating equipment like grease traps. The goal is to create a reliable, efficient system that meets facility needs, complies with regulations, and minimizes environmental impact.

Eave | Valley Gutters & Downpipes

SEQ Flood Code Assessments incl. Flood Storage Earthworks

Queensland Flood Code Assessments are vital for assessing flood risks in Queensland. They help property owners and developers understand the potential impact of flooding on their properties by analyzing factors like topography and historical flood data. By following the guidelines from these assessments, stakeholders can make informed decisions to minimize the risks associated with flooding and create more resilient communities.

Rainwater Systems Collection | Reuse | Filtration

Rainwater reuse and filtration systems are essential for sustainable water management. They help conserve water, reduce strain on traditional sources, mitigate stormwater issues, and promote water quality. By capturing and treating rainwater, these systems offer a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution for water conservation and efficiency, benefiting both individuals and communities in the long run.

Stormwater & Sewer Pump Systems

Fire Hydrant & Hose Reel Systems and Coverage Assessments

A fire hydrant and hose reel system is essential for fire protection in buildings, but not every development requires them if they achieve coverage from street hydrants. When coverage is not achievable, the on-site system design includes strategically placed hydrants for firefighters to access water quickly and hose reels for occupants to use in case of small fires. It is required by building codes to ensure safety, providing a reliable water source to contain fires and protect lives and property.

Natural & LP Gas Systems

Natural gas service design involves planning and implementing infrastructure to deliver natural gas, while LP gas service design does the same for liquefied petroleum gas like propane. You need these designs to safely and efficiently connect properties to gas supplies for heating, cooking, and more. Proper design ensures compliance with regulations and standards, enabling the benefits of using gas while minimizing risks.

Flat Roof | Balcony | Planter Box Drainage

A flat roof with a balcony and planter box drainage design is a system specifically designed to manage water and prevent water damage on flat roof structures that have balconies and planter boxes incorporated into their design. This design helps to ensure proper drainage of rainwater and prevent water from accumulating and causing structural damage or leaks. Having this design is important because flat roofs are more prone to water pooling, which can lead to leaks and structural issues over time. Balconies and planter boxes can further complicate drainage issues if not properly addressed. By incorporating a specialized drainage system, you can protect your flat roof, balcony, and planter boxes from water damage, ultimately extending the lifespan of your property and reducing the need for costly repairs in the future.

Fire | Water Service Booster & Pump Systems

Fire and water service boosters and pump systems are crucial components of a building's fire protection and water distribution infrastructure. These systems ensure adequate water pressure for firefighting purposes and general water distribution within the building. They help boost water pressure in sprinkler systems, standpipes, and fire hydrants during a fire emergency, enabling effective fire suppression and providing firefighters with ample water supply. Additionally, these systems ensure sufficient water pressure for domestic use throughout the building. Overall, these systems are essential for safeguarding lives and property by ensuring proper water flow and pressure in both emergency and everyday situations.
