The design process for a wastewater treatment system begins with an EPA site suitability assessment, a critical step to determine the most appropriate system for your site. This assessment evaluates soil percolation, topography, and site-specific conditions, ensuring compliance with EPA and local county council regulations. Key considerations include maintaining minimum separation distances from the water table, bedrock, property boundaries, wells, nearby dwellings, and public roads. These factors influence the safe treatment and disposal of wastewater and determine whether standard wastewater treatment systems with percolation trenches, low-pressure pipe networks, or advanced tertiary filters are required.

Each wastewater treatment system comes complete with everything needed for efficient and reliable operation. The supply includes the wastewater tank, which is designed to robustly contain and process wastewater alongside advanced SBR (Sequencing Batch Reactor) technology for effective and efficient wastewater treatment. An outdoor cabinet is also provided, offering weather-resistant housing for essential control components. Additionally, we can supply optional extras on request, such as additional risers and a vehicular cover designed to withstand traffic, making it ideal for systems installed in driveways.

Our wastewater treatment systems are designed with installation in mind, offering factory-designed lifting points and pre-fitted lifting straps to ensure quick and straightforward handling. The lightweight modular tank design makes transport and placement easy, even on sites with limited access or poor ground conditions. For most sites, we recommend a gravel backfill, while a lean mix is preferred in areas with a high water table to ensure stability. Each system is delivered with all necessary fittings and connections, making the installation process efficient and hassle-free. With comprehensive assistance and clear guidelines provided by our experts, you can confidently complete the installation, even in challenging locations.

Once the wastewater treatment system has been installed and power is available, one of our expert technicians will commission the system to ensure it has been installed correctly and is fully operational. This process includes a thorough check of all components to verify proper functionality and compliance with installation standards. Upon completion, we provide a commissioning certification, digitally delivered within minutes, which can be shared directly with your engineer for their records. This ensures peace of mind and confirms that your system is ready to perform efficiently.

Regular service and maintenance are essential to keep your on-site wastewater treatment system performing at its best and to extend the lifespan of its components. Typically, one routine service callout is required every 12 months, during which our skilled technicians perform a comprehensive inspection and maintenance process. This includes checking the control panel and operation/fault menu, replacing the air filter (if applicable), and conducting functional checks of all mechanical and electrical components such as the control panel, air compressor, water pump, valves, high-level alarm, and pipework. The structural condition of the treatment system, including the percolation area, is also inspected.

Additional services may include flushing and cleaning the low-pressure pipe network, measuring pH and oxygen concentration levels for optimising air compressor operating times, conducting a sludge volume proportion test (SV30) to determine accurate de-sludging intervals, and effluent sampling with laboratory testing, where required. Upon completion of the service, you will receive a full digital report within minutes, along with automated reminders for future service calls. Our services also include providing receipts for your Local County Council as part of your service and maintenance contract or planning application, ensuring your system complies with all relevant regulations.
