Whereas the existing installation was to a drainage field, porosity tests highlighted a lack of porosity in the clayey soils. There was a seasonally dry ditch on site which, after discussions with the local Environment Agency Officer, became the new discharge point. A bespoke EA permit was applied for with the understanding that the installation work could precede the permit submission.
The insurance company approved the quotation, WCI applied for a Building Notice and once all legalities were sorted, we started the installation work. After three days our clients were left with a new, fully compliant system and could use all the facilities!!

The new sewage treatment plant was sited and installed as per the manufacturer’s instructions, surrounded in concrete and backfilled with soil. The air blower kiosk was discreetly positioned next to the garden fence and then the whole system was commissioned by a WCI British Water accredited and GRAF trained service engineer.
Having completed the installation, the team got to work restoring the grounds. The garden was returfed, the fence erected and the patio and the decking reinstated. The owners were left with a fully compliant and eco-efficient treatment plant which brought about a reduction of 1.01kg of Total Phosphorous (TP) per year.
