Project Introduction

This project involved the urgent replacement of a failed wastewater system at a school with limited access. The school needed a fast and dependable solution who could manage the logistics and provide a reliable product. With experience in handling time-sensitive installations of sewage plants, Tricel proposed the Maxus Combi unit—an advanced option offering high performance, immediate availability, and a compact design suitable for challenging locations.

Our sales area manager Stuart Goulding worked closely with Advanced wastewater & drainage to deliver a tailored and compliant sewage plants solution for this specialised project.

THE CHALLENGE

The key challenge was the complete failure of the existing treatment system, which left no margin for delays. A fully functioning replacement was required immediately. The site itself was difficult to access, making the delivery and installation of typical sewage plants particularly complex. Adding to this, careful coordination was needed to align the delivery schedule with the availability of the installation team. This combination of urgency, restricted access, and logistics planning made the project particularly demanding.

The Installation

Despite the site constraints, the installation of the Maxus Combi—one of Tricel’s most efficient sewage plants—was completed within just five days. The installation team executed the plan with precision, aided by the compact design of the unit and the detailed scheduling carried out in advance. Every stage, from delivery through to full operation, was handled without delay or disruption, even in a location not typically suited to large equipment.

TRICEL SOLUTION

Tricel Maxus Combi

Tricel was selected for this project based on a combination of factors: competitive pricing, immediate availability, and a well-matched technical specification. Among available sewage plants, the Maxus Combi stood out as the ideal choice—not only because of its compact footprint and ease of installation, but also due to its suitability for the unique requirements of a school environment.

Schools demand a treatment system that is dependable, efficient, and capable of handling variable daily usage—especially during term times when load volumes fluctuate. The Maxus Combi is engineered to manage these variations effectively, offering consistent performance and low maintenance requirements. Its design also supports compliance with strict environmental standards, which is essential for educational facilities operating under regulated discharge licences.

In this case, the Maxus Combi’s all-in-one configuration, offered a practical and space-saving solution. This was particularly beneficial given the site’s access limitations and the school’s need to avoid extended disruptions. With no comparable product readily available on the market at the time, the Maxus Combi offered a unique combination of efficiency and compliance—making it the clear choice for delivering a high-performance sewage plants system in a challenging location.

Tricel and  Advanced wastewater & drainage responsiveness and product performance ensured the client’s expectations were fully met.
