Plumber Mosman Park

Mosman Park WA 6012, Town of Mosman Park. About 12 km west of the Perth CBD.

Mosman Park lies about twelve kilometres west of the Perth CBD on the north bank of the Swan River, in the Town of Mosman Park. It has roughly five kilometres of river frontage and a further stretch of ocean frontage west of the railway. Known as Buckland Hill from its first survey in 1889, it took its present name in 1937. Until the 1970s it was one of Western Australia's major industrial centres, holding a Holden car and truck assembly plant from 1926 to 1972 along with the Colonial Sugar Refinery.

• Former heavy industrial landA Holden assembly plant ran here from 1926 to 1972 alongside a sugar refinery and other works. Ground used that way for fifty years holds retained, replaced and abandoned water and sewer services together, so we locate the drainage before excavating instead of trusting a plan that may not reflect what was left behind.
• Around five kilometres of river frontageMuch of the suburb faces the Swan River, and the lower riverside blocks sit on ground with a high water table and limited fall for drainage. Stormwater there has to be designed for the ground, and basement areas in the apartment buildings depend on pumped drainage rather than gravity.
• Buckland Hill and the fall to the waterMosman Park is built around a prominent hill that was used as a navigation mark from the earliest days of the colony. Ground that steep moves stormwater fast onto the properties below, so downhill blocks need drainage sized for runoff arriving from above them.
• Riverside apartment buildings under strataMuch of the newer development along the river is strata, so a repair begins by establishing whether the failed pipework sits in the lot or in a shared stack that is common property. We provide the written diagnosis a strata committee needs before it can authorise the work.
