“It is important to note, however, that in the absence of a connection to a sewer system, one of the most appropriate and cost effective means of treating wastewater in a suitable site is a properly constructed and maintained conventional septic tank system.” Quotation taken from EPA Wastewater Treatment Manual 2000.
A Chartered Civil or Environmental Engineer designs each system from the specific results of your Site Assessment. If required, Percol8.ie will supervise the installation by your Contractor/Builder or will install the specified system on your behalf.
Percol8.ie is not associated in any way with manufactures or suppliers. It has no preferred suppliers and acts completely independently on behalf of you, our client.
All our work is specifically focused on providing you with the best possible solution for your wastewater treatment. This involves consideration of a design which complies with all legislative requirements but also considers the most sustainable solution for you taking into account the initial installation cost, life-long costs associated with power usage and maintenance of mechanical units and the standard maintenance for any type of system.
We take cognisance of published National and International research which has demonstrated that, in appropriate conditions, a correctly designed septic tank and percolation are as good a way as any to treat on-site wastewater.
In the first instance Percol8.ie will investigate whether the conditions exist on your site, or can be engineered, for this option of treatment. If possible, this eliminates the need for life-long power usage and mechanical maintenance and replacement.
