New drainage field installation

Location: A converted barn in rural Wiltshire

The problem: A failed septic tank and non-functioning drainage field

The solution: Installation of a new sewage treatment plant discharging to new drainage field placed in the adjacent paddock

Benefit to the client: Replacement integrated sewage treatment system. Providing a long term sustainable solution that complied with all relevant legislation

 The problem

Over time the existing septic tank and drainage field had become less and less effective. A failure in the tank had led to the drainage field blocking and eventually the system failed completely. Leading to the client having to have the tank emptied on a regular basis. Until a new system could be installed.

The solution

Following a site visit and investigation we identified the most effective solution for the client. Percolation tests showed the area was suitable for a drainage field. This was installed in an adjacent paddock on slightly higher ground.

For this situation we selected a Condor ASP with a pumped outlet to lift the effluent to the drainage field on higher ground. The Conder ASP offers superior technical performance at a competitive price without compromising on quality. Maintenance and running costs are extremely low. In most situations, they have a better than industry standard average emptying frequency.

There was a relatively high water table in the area where the plant was installed. Therefore, a larger than normal excavation was needed with additional concrete. To support the new drainage installation. However, this was identified during our initial site visit. This was allowed for in the quote, ensuring the installation was completed on time.
