ONSITE WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
We will meet the customer on their site to discuss their needs and how they foresee the development of their property. We educate the customer on the various types of systems which may fit their onsite conditions and determine their potential waste water flow rate. The focus of the initial meeting is to determine site locations for the tank, piping and septic field which will be acceptable to the homeowner and meet our design needs. The second onsite task is the soil evaluation process. We either excavate a test pit around 8 feet deep in several areas or drill 2' diameter testing bores where the septic field will be installed. A soil profile is then developed and recorded. Soils samples are collected and sent to a soils testing lab to determine the sand, silt and clay content. With that information and our excavation experience and the science based flow rate charts we determine the linear loading rate. Basically this tells us how much wastewater we can safely load onto each square foot of the septic field so it can work efficiently. Once we determine the daily flow rates from the home and how many square feet of septic field are required to disperse the wastewater then we can develop a plan and a quotation for the project. |
