Sewage Treatment Services
Constructed wetlands provide a sustainable, cost-effective solution for treating sewage and can be used for the primary, secondary and tertiary stages of the sewage treatment process. Reed beds are used extensively across the UK for the treatment of sewage, ranging from septic tanks serving single properties and visitor centres to large scale treatment systems for water companies.
Wetlands can be used as a temporary measure to extend the life of an older treatment facility by polishing effluent and bringing it within regulator consent – saving capital expenditure.
In smaller rural works the initial, and sometimes only form of treatment, is by means of a septic tank. As discharge standards for BOD and ammonia have become more stringent aerated reed beds provide an excellent, low-cost treatment solution to meet compliance.
We have comprehensive experience in the design and construction of natural treatment systems whether it is for an individual dwelling or a community of 25,000 people.
