Michael Casabene founded Casabene Drainage some 40 years ago in which it has successfully grown into the Casabene Group of Companies.  Today, the original Drainage business is still operational and is owned & operated by son, Pip Casabene.

In 1994 after using backhoes and mini excavators to complete drainage works Pip decided to branch out and purchase a larger excavator for hire to contractors in which was a great success with year by year growth and development has now grown into excess of 400 pieces of plant.  After many years of service to Drainage division Marty Vaina made the move into Excavating as an operator, to assisting Pip with growing the business and now a partner in the Excavation division, and now running the day to day operations of also.  Reg Lumani began with Pip as an apprentice in the Drainage division and some years later joined Pip in Managing the operations as well as working his way through the business to becoming Pip’s partner in the Drainage division and running the daily operations of the business.
