Service
Civil Engineering
Integrated civil engineering for land development — covering earthworks, roads, stormwater drainage, water quality and authority approvals from concept through to construction.
Overview
How we approach civil engineering
Our civil engineering team supports projects from feasibility and concept design through to detailed design, authority approvals and construction. We deliver coordinated civil engineering packages designed to meet approval requirements and translate efficiently to site.
Our engineers undertake catchment analysis, stormwater drainage design, site grading and level coordination, while integrating wet and dry utilities with roads, structures and the broader site design. By resolving these interfaces early, we help minimise service clashes, redesign and construction issues.
Scope of work
Stormwater Management
Piped networks, overland flow paths, pit and pipe design and downstream capacity checks.
Road Design
Geometry, pavement design, intersection layouts, kerb returns and longitudinal grading.
Earthworks & Bulk Grading
Cut and fill balance, batter design, retaining interfaces and volume reporting.
Subdivision Design
Lot layout engineering, servicing strategy and full civil documentation for release staging.
Flood Assessment
Flood impact statements, afflux assessment and freeboard strategy for constrained sites.
On-site Detention (OSD)
Storage sizing, orifice and weir design, tank and basin detailing to council policy.
WSUD & Water Quality
Bio-retention, swales, rainwater re-use and MUSIC modelling to meet pollutant targets.
Utility Coordination
Water, sewer, power, gas and telecommunications trail alignment and clash resolution.
Civil Construction Documentation
Issue-for-construction drawing sets, specifications and quantity schedules.
Council & Authority Approvals
Lodgement packages, Section 68/73 support and authority negotiation.
Why Aetera
Advantages you can measure
Catchment-first thinking
Hydrology and hydraulics are resolved before layout is locked, avoiding late redesign when flows do not work.
Yield protection
Earthworks, levels and drainage strategies tuned to protect developable area and lot yield.
Approval fluency
Documentation prepared to the format councils and authorities expect, reducing RFI cycles.
Process
From brief to built
Feasibility
Site constraints, flood context, servicing availability and indicative civil cost.
Concept Design
Grading strategy, road hierarchy, drainage and OSD concept for planning submission.
Detailed Design
Full civil drawing set, hydraulic modelling, WSUD and utility coordination.
Approvals
Council and authority lodgement, RFI responses and construction certification.
Construction
Site inspections, design during construction and work-as-executed review.
