Land drainage Cost

[db9go]

Any idea what currant Land drainage cost these days as we are looking to do 30 to 50 hectares

Between £2500 and £5000 per Ha. Lots of variables.

Stone backfill adds about 50% to the cost

Anything from £4-6/metre? Instead of doing a full scheme we did some “strategic drainage “ that we could mole through last summer- what a difference it’s made!! & a lot less £ than a full scheme? Cheers dh

That is what I have been doing recently. No enough money in the job for full schemes. (Not really enough money in the job to do any TBH!)

Just looked up a quote from last year. 70mm pipe trenchless 800mm deep. . Cost Inc junctions, machine haulage etc. Circa £3 running metre. With gravel £4. That was connecting to an existing main

£1200 an acre all in, 70mm laterals, 150mm main, stone backfill

Have a quote from 2019 @ £1000 an acre including stone
