Past Projects
This is a video snapshot of a recent inspection of the drainage system at Meerlust Estates which was laid in 1986. The inspection was conducted in June 2010 and shows water flowing freely at 24.6 metres into the drainage system. The results are remarkable, considering the system was laid 24 years ago.
