WCI was engaged to support the design and construction of a full-serviced guest house in the trees. Faced with seasonal flows and the need for a completely silent system with minimum visual impact, it was back to basics and WCI sought to confirm there was sufficient drainage for a septic tank and drainage field solution.
While the topology of the site nor the soil composition was ideal, WCI was able to design a drainage field that followed the contours of the site without risk of outcropping on the relatively steep ground.

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.
