Sewage Treatment Plant Installation
Sewage Treatment Plants treat the liquid from the sewage to create a clear odourless liquid suitable to discharge both to watercourse and drainage fields in most cases.
Whilst many systems require very little maintenance, in most cases they require an electricity supply but modern systems require very little energy to operate.
Step 1: Pre-Construction
Step 2: Construction Phase
Once the pre-construction phase has gathered all the information required to begin construction you will be provided with a start date. On average an installation takes 5-10 working days including any landscaping which may have been disturbed during the installation.
Step 3: Construction
Upon completion, our Construction Manager will visit site to sign off the work as complete. Finally, Building Control Certificates are issued for the completion of the installation.
Before the installation can begin, we will need to carry out a Site Visit. Depending on current drainage systems, this stage can also include various checks on the existing Drainage Network and against "the binding rules"and in some instances require a Drainage Survey.
Frequently Asked Questions

Is my system compliant with the latest binding rules?
This question gets asked all the time, the problem is without a Compliance Survey being carried out we really can’t say for certain. The new rules are all to do with ensuring that your Drainage Network is not polluting the environment, many people and companies are getting these new rules confused with building control! There is a lot of incorrect information out there regarding old Septic Tanks and the belief that they all need upgrading to a Waste Treatment Plant, This is not the case. If you think your system is in breach of “the Binding Rules” or if you're moving home go to our Compliance Report page or Pre-Purchase Survey Page to learn more.
