INTRODUCTION

This is a new-build project which will be using recycled shipping containers for the entire house construction; so we are quite excited to see this project roll out. My client contacted Zenplumb as he was in search of a wastewater system that reflected the same ethos of low-impact, environmentally conscious design.

When your working on the side of a mountain, moving 25m3 of material down the face of a 65degree slope can be very time consuming, even with an earthmover. This chute was built using repurposed material and saved much time.

SECONDARY TREATMENT

The Land Capability Assessment stated that Secondary Treatment was required to achieve 20/30 water quality wastewater design. So we installed a WormWorx Sand Filter to achieve this.

LAND APPLICATION

After the Sand Filter, the recycled wastewater then distributes across a 230m2 Irrigation Field, using Subsurface Pressure Compensating Irrigation.
