DRAINAGE DESIGNED AROUND HOW WATER ACTUALLY MOVES.
Effective stormwater management begins with levels, falls, catchment areas and a clear discharge route. Pavestar Civils assesses how water enters, crosses and leaves the site before selecting a suitable drainage approach.
Depending on the project, this can include open channels, concrete drains, culverts, pipework, catch pits, trench drains, soakaways, road-edge drainage, erosion protection or a combination of systems.
For roads and developments, drainage can be coordinated with earthworks, grading, road formation and surfacing so water management is considered from the ground up rather than added after failure occurs.

Drainage Products & Systems
SELECT THE SYSTEM FOR THE CONDITIONS ON SITE.
Sizes, bedding, excavation depth, outlets and installation details should match the actual project and expected flow.
Road Drainage System
Road Culverts
Culverts provide a controlled route for stormwater beneath roads, entrances and access crossings while helping protect the road formation from uncontrolled water flow.
- Road and access crossings
- Stormwater transfer beneath road formation
- Concrete or project-specified culvert systems
- Can integrate with inlets, outlets and headwalls
Stormwater Management
Soakaway Crates & Systems
Soakaway systems can temporarily store and disperse stormwater below ground where the site, soil conditions and drainage design make infiltration appropriate.
- Driveway and parking-area drainage
- Development stormwater management
- Below-ground modular storage
- Used with suitable geotextile and drainage design
Project-specific design matters: culvert diameter, soakaway capacity, trench depth, bedding, geotextile,
pipe sizes and discharge arrangements should be selected around the actual site and expected water flow.
How Drainage Works
COLLECT. CONTROL. DISCHARGE.
Integrated Stormwater Planning
Move water away from the areas it can damage.
Road layers, embankments, driveways and developed sites perform better when drainage is considered before the final surface is installed.
Capture runoff
Collect water using falls, channels, catch pits, trench drains or suitable inlets.
Move it safely
Use channels, culverts or pipework to carry water through or around the site.
Discharge correctly
Direct water toward a suitable outlet while considering erosion and downstream effects.
Protect surrounding works
Coordinate drainage with road levels, earthworks and finished surfaces to reduce premature failures.
Drainage Starts With the Ground
LEVELS & FORMATION MATTER.

Drainage Construction Process
FROM SITE ASSESSMENT TO CONTROLLED FLOW.
Assess
Review existing drainage, site levels, runoff routes and visible water-related failures.
Plan Route
Identify collection, transfer and discharge routes for the proposed drainage works.
Excavate
Prepare trenches, channels, pits or culvert crossings to suitable alignment and levels.
Install
Construct channels and install pipes, culverts, catch pits or other agreed components.
Finish
Backfill, compact, reinstate and confirm that falls and flow routes remain clear.
Drainage Applications
DRAINAGE FOR DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS.
Road Construction

Commercial Sites
Surface-water management for business premises, yards, access routes and parking environments.
Driveways & Entrances
Channels, trench drains, falls and collection points for suitable driveway and entrance drainage issues.
Existing Road Upgrades
Drainage improvements where standing water, edge failure, erosion or wash-away contributes to road deterioration.
Integrated Infrastructure
Drainage coordinated with earthworks, grading, road construction and final surfacing.

Why Pavestar Civils
PROTECT WHAT YOU BUILD.
Drainage should work with the road, site and surrounding levels—not be treated as an afterthought once water problems appear.
Drainage can be coordinated with earthworks, grading, road construction and final surfacing.
The appropriate system depends on water routes, levels, catchment, site use and existing infrastructure.
Pavestar can assess drainage for new construction as well as repairs and upgrades to existing infrastructure.
Suitable larger drainage and civil projects can be assessed across major cities and towns nationwide.
Drainage FAQ
DRAINAGE & STORMWATER QUESTIONS.
A site assessment helps identify why the water problem is occurring before the construction solution is selected.
What drainage services does Pavestar provide?
Pavestar can provide suitable stormwater drainage, road drainage, culverts, concrete channels, catch pits, trench drains, pipework, soakaways, erosion-control measures and drainage repairs.
Does Pavestar install road culverts?
Yes. Suitable road and access culvert installations can be undertaken as part of drainage works or a wider civil project.
Can Pavestar install soakaway crates?
Yes. Where site conditions and the drainage design are appropriate, soakaway-crate systems can form part of a stormwater-management solution.
Can existing drainage problems be repaired?
Yes. Existing drainage can be assessed for failed channels, damaged pipework, poor falls, blockages, erosion, inadequate collection or other water-management problems.
Can drainage be included with road construction?
Yes. Drainage can be coordinated with earthworks, formation preparation, road-base construction and final surfacing.
Does Pavestar undertake drainage projects outside Harare and Bulawayo?
Yes. Suitable projects can be assessed across Zimbabwe, including Gweru, Mutare, Masvingo, Kwekwe, Marondera, Chinhoyi, Kadoma, Norton, Ruwa and other locations depending on scale and mobilisation.
