Our story

From a small crew to the state’s biggest sites.

C&S Drainage + Civil started out as a small, specialist drainage team on Perth’s civil projects. Under Managing Director Laura Wilkins, that team has been transformed into a multi-skilled workforce delivering award-winning results on some of Western Australia’s largest infrastructure and resources projects.

Today the group works for the state’s most demanding clients — SCJV, Main Roads WA, Rio Tinto, BHP and Water Corporation — across metro Perth and remote WA, self-performing drainage, earthworks and hydro excavation with its own people and plant.
