Our Projects

Application: Sewage Treatment

Date: 2008

Location: South Ayrshire

Site: 6 No Private Dwellings

Capacity: 36 persons

System: Septic tanks (x2) and a package pumping station followed by a reedbed

Features:
The system is installed either side of a watercourse which divides the site.  The septic tanks and reedbed (horizontal flow type) provide for passive treatment of the sewage and are all landscaped into the communal amenity areas of the development.  The reedbed also provides habitat for birds, amphibians and insects.  The system is designed to meet good effluent quality standards and safely disperse treated sewage water into the adjacent watercourse.

Benefits:
This type of sewage treatment system is suited to sites in remote locations and sites with no electric power, with low porosity soils (clays) and where passive treatment and/or habitat is desired.

Services Delivered:
Site investigation / Detailed design for planning & warrant applications / SEPA application / Supply of sewage tanks / Installation works inspection / Supply & planting of reeds / Commissioning / Servicing & maintenance

Application: Surface Water Runoff Treatment

Date: 2008

Location: North Ayrshire

Site: Commercial Waste Management Facility

Capacity: Areas drained are approx. 0.80 ha of yards and 0.20 ha of roofs

System: Silt traps (various types) followed by a 700 m² retention pond

Features:
The pond was designed specifically to treat surface water runoff from a large concrete yard.  The yard has lots of heavy traffic movements daily and contamination with soil particles is significant.  The treatment capacity, safety, biodiversity and amenity value of the pond are all enhanced by a wide margin around the pond which is planted with reeds.

Benefits:
This type of surface water runoff treatment system is suited to sites where the treatment of runoff is required to protect the quality of a nearby watercourse.  The system provides the added and inherently designed benefits of flood alleviation by attenuating the runoff and habitat creation for wildlife.

Application: Sewage Treatment

Date: 2016

Location: South Lanarkshire

Site: 1 No Private Dwelling

Capacity: 6 persons

System: An ‘ASP’ package sewage treatment plant followed by an ‘Ecoflo’ tertiary treatment and soakaway tank

Features:
The system installed was the first of its type in the UK.  The ‘ASP’ package sewage plant has an integral submersible pump fitted on the outlet removing the need for a separate pumping chamber.  The ‘Ecoflo’ tank acts not just as a tertiary (polishing) treatment tank but also as a mound soakaway.  The system is designed to meet very stringent effluent quality standards and safely disperse treated sewage water into the ground.

Benefits:
 This type of sewage treatment system is suited to sites with low porosity soils (clays), with high water tables, with no watercourse nearby or with limited available land.
