SEWAGE TREATMENT INSTALLED
This project started when we received a phone call from the owner of a four-bedroom house. His project was progressing well, the percolation test had already been carried out, and the consent to discharge was approved. We immediately scheduled a site visit and soon agreed on a price for his residential sewage treatment plant.
Our recommendation was a Tricel Novo UK6 Plus domestic sewage treatment plant (4000 litres, gravity). As well as this product being the best solution for his site, it was also our customers’ preferred choice as the Novo is reliable, costs effective, CE certified and had a quick and easy installation process.

Stages of a residential sewage treatment plant installation in Newry
Stage 1.
The Tricel Novo UK6 Plus arrives on site. A mini digger was pre-booked, so work on site begins immediately.
Stage 2.
A small hole gets excavated to the dimensions of the Novo UK6 Plus. Concrete backfill is used as our client’s request but wasn’t necessary for this particular site.
Stage 3.
Utility holes and back inlet gully traps around the bungalow get installed as per the building control specifications.
Stage 4.
The hole gets backfilled with three cubic yards of semi-dry concrete.
Stage 5.
The semi-dry concrete is leveled to make sure the tank gets positioned level.
Stage 6.
We check the angle of the pipe coming into the tank from the bungalow to ensure it correctly connects.
Stage 7.
The tank gets placed into position. Made from Sheet Moulding Compound (SMC), the Tricel Novo UK 6 Plus weighs only 300kg, which is lighter and stronger than plastic alternatives. Due to the lightweight attribute, it is a simple installation process, requiring only a small digger.
Stage 8.
The level is checked a second time to ensure correct positioning.
Stage 9.
The tank is filled with water, ready to start up. Once the electrical connections are made, the system is immediately operational.
Stage 10.
The tank is buried into the semi-dry concrete to secure and stabilize its position. On wet sites, semi-dry concrete is recommended, for dry sites, 20mm gravel for backfill will suffice.
Stage 11.
The tank is covered and filled around with topsoil, leaving only the access points for servicing and desludging.
Stage 12.
The installation is now complete! Quick, easy and efficient.
