Services

We specialise in the design, supply, installation, project management and certification of pressurised wastewater infiltration systems. Our pressure systems include rigid PVC pipe bed systems, mounds, low pressure pipe or drip systems. Designs are based on the US EPA Wastewater Design Manual 2002, the Irish EPA Code of Practice (CoP) 2009 and Part H of the Building regulations.

We provide certificates of compliance under the new Building Control Regulations 2013 to the “Assigned Certifier” i.e. architect, engineer or surveyor appointed by the building owner.

We can also provide secondary and tertiary treatment systems as part of a total turnkey package.

We work with engineers, architects, site assessors and contractors on commercial projects such as schools, community centres, housing developments and on rural houses in unsewered areas to provide site specific design proposals. Typically, we assess the site classification and soils information provided to us. Then based on the waste strength of the wastewater influent from the premises combined with the required effluent quality and sensitivity of the receiving environment, we will recommend the most suitable treatment and/or infiltration system for the application.
