Installation of a small package treatment plant

This installation was undertaken alongside River Roe in Wray, Lancashire. Due to the challenging site topography, underlying rock formations and the need to carefully navigate existing underground services serving two properties, this was a tricky drainage system to install.

The works required specialist excavation equipment, including our excavator, hydraulic breaker and tracked dumper, to overcome the difficult ground conditions and complete the installation successfully.

Total refurbishment of an indoor horse menage.

This is a horse menage that we did a few years ago, a complete refurbishment including all the associated drainage underneath the surface.  It is still looking and working brilliantly and is currently used on a racing yard

Soakway replacement for an existing septic tank

A porosity test was undertaken and the soakaway was designed in accordance with BS6297 and the current Building Regulations Part H2.

The ground was ideal for a soakaway.

Installation of a package treatment plant

we recently installed a WPL HiPaf Compact treatment plant at a accommodation bunk house in the Lake District.  They had got an old septic tank that was causing a problem so it was replaced with this unit which is good for dealing with fluctuations in the loadings.

Potable Water Storage Tank Installation

Refurbishment of an existing potable water supply system in Martindale, Cumbria. The project presented significant challenges due to the steep and difficult terrain, requiring careful planning and specialist equipment. Despite the demanding site conditions, the stunning views across the surrounding landscape made this one of the most scenic locations we have had the pleasure of working in.

Horizontal & Vertical Reed Beds at Glossop

This was a large Horizontal & Vertical reedbed installation that we did for United Utilities at the side of the resevoir at Glossop. Again it was quite a challenge as we had to ensure that we didnt cause any sort of pollution in the resevoir and we were hit with some of the worst snow conditions that we had encountered in a long time. We also installed the stock proof fencing and the dry stone wall surrounding the beds

WPL Diamond Treatment Plant Installation  

The site access was challenging which required the temporary removal of the rear garden wall. Given the peaceful surroundings, the remit was to install a sewage treatment system that would operate as quietly as possible.

To achieve this, we replaced the OEM blower with a specialist, near-silent ceramic piston blower. The standard cover was also replaced with a gas-tight lid to further minimise operational noise.

These modifications significantly reduced noise levels, resulting in an exceptionally quiet installation that blends discreetly into its tranquil surroundings.

Large WPL HiPaf Treatment Plant

This is a large WPL Hipaf Unit that we installed at The Brackenrigg Inn near Ullswater. The HiPaf units are good at dealing with varying flows that happen in places like hotels

Large WPL HiPaf installation

This was another large WPL HiPaf unit that we installed at The Lakes Distillery, Bassenthwaite.  The site is a new distillery, visitors centre and cafe and the dischrage is into a SSSI water cource so the plant has to be regulary monitored and maintained to ensure the discharge is meeting its consent standards set out by the Environment Agency.

Installation of a Pump Station

This was a pump station that we installed at Glenridding Sailing Centre a number of years ago.  It pumps the sewage from the onsite facilities up to the main sewer in Glenridding.  The site was very challenging due to the water levels.  This pump station was under several feet of water during the storms of December 2015 and apart from needing an electrician to make one or two repairs it is still functioning as it should do.

Refurbishment of an Adams Hydraulic trickle filter system

This was a treatment system that we refurbished for a large private house. It was the best way to deal with the fluctuations in loadings and is still working well with an excellent discharge quality. The discharge passes through a reed bed before discharging to watercourse.

Creation of a Large Pond

We were asked to create a large pond for a Clients garden.  It had to encorperate a walkway most of the way round, an island, a form of transport to get to the island and it also had to be useable as a fishing pond.  We designed created and planted up the pond which is now flurishing well and aparently the fishing is good. It has an oak deck most of way round and a small floating platform to get over to the island.
