At Staffordshire & Cheshire Septic Tanks Ltd, we understand that rural properties often rely on high-performance off-mains drainage systems. That’s why we’re committed to delivering septic tank installations that are not only compliant and durable, but also carefully tailored to the unique layout and requirements of each site.
This recent project in rural Cheshire involved a full septic tank replacement for a working farm, where reliable waste management is essential to day-to-day operations. From initial groundworks to the final reinstatement, our experienced team ensured the job was completed smoothly, safely, and with minimal disruption to the land. Take a look at how the installation unfolded step by step.
Step-by-Step Breakdown of the Installation
1. Groundworks and Initial Excavation
The job began with careful excavation of the site to accommodate the new septic tank. Ensuring the trench dimensions were precise was crucial for a secure and level fit. Our team worked efficiently to avoid unnecessary disruption to the surrounding landscape.
2. Tank Delivery and Positioning
Once the excavation was complete, the new tank was lowered into place. We took extra care to ensure the correct alignment of inlet and outlet pipework, using a spirit level for accuracy. This stage is critical to long-term system performance.
3. Connecting Pipework and Backfilling
Next, we connected the necessary pipework, including the ventilation and inspection access points. We used quality materials to ensure durability and proper flow. The system was then backfilled with a combination of gravel and soil to aid drainage and provide stability.
4. Final Touches and Site Restoration
Once the system was fully installed, we restored the site to its original condition. The ground was relevelled and compacted, ensuring a clean and safe finish. The only visible components are the discrete inspection covers and a ventilation pipe – a professional, low-impact result.
The End Result: Safe, Discreet, and Built to Last
With the tank securely installed and the site restored, the client now has a reliable and efficient wastewater solution in place for years to come. It’s another successful project delivered by a team that truly understands off-grid drainage.
