Gully pits—also known as catch basins or stormwater pits—play a vital role in managing stormwater runoff in urban areas.
These underground structures help prevent flooding on roads, pavements, and public spaces by diverting water into drainage systems or natural waterways.
When functioning properly, gully pits contribute significantly to safety, infrastructure protection, and environmental health.
Gully pits are essential for:
Safety: Preventing water from pooling on roads and footpaths, reducing the risk of slips, skids, and accidents.
Infrastructure Protection:
Prevent water damage to bitumen, concrete, and building foundations
Reduce cracking, potholes, and erosion caused by trapped water
Help avoid structural damage such as rotting, rusting, and mould growth
Environmental Protection: Trap and control stormwater runoff to minimise pollutants entering local rivers and waterways.
Flood Prevention: Collect surface water to prevent flash flooding during heavy rains.
Stormwater Management: Support the treatment and redirection of rainwater to reduce its impact on built environments.
Drainage System Inlet: Act as the first line of defence, channelling water into larger stormwater networks or natural systems.
