So, you have a soils report in front of you and are looking to draft up a design for a residential septic drainfield. To do so, there are some key bits of information in that report that will be important in the design process. Whether you are a novice or a pro, here is a handy checklist outlining the design process and explaining each system component.
Have you ever been challenged with the installation of a septic system on a tight lot needing to maximize treatment in a small footprint? The sizing reduction for utilizing chambers over stone and pipe can only take you so far. A stone and pipe drainfield can be installed deep to maximize the space. Of course, the downside of stone and pipe would be more labor. There’s an easier way! The answer is EZflow septic.
Oftentimes when faced with the task of designing or installing an onsite wastewater treatment system for a single-family home it’s not always as simple as a conventional septic system that includes a septic tank and drainfield. When a conventional septic system cannot be installed an advanced treatment system like the Infiltrator ECOPOD series will need to be explored.
Corrugated shapes can be found in a variety of materials including but not limited to corrugated cardboard, plastic sheet, metal siding and roofing, and metal and thermoplastic pipe. The shapes within the corrugations provide greater strength to products than what they would have using just a flat sheet of the same material. For example, corrugated metal roofing is better able to support a heavy snow load than a flat sheet of the same metal. The advantage corrugated shapes provide is the creation of many small interconnected “beams” that collectively serve as reinforcing structures, leading to improved load-resisting capability. Infiltrator’s molded thermoplastic Quick4 and Arc chambers and IM-Series tanks employ corrugated designs.
Convenience stores generate hundreds to thousands of gallons of high strength wastewater each day requiring specialized treatment for long-term sustainability. Onsite wastewater treatment is the only solution for convenience stores where a centralized sewer system is not available. Having a properly engineered system will save money and prevent premature system replacement.
