Location

Cambridgeshire

Industry Sector

Residential property & Holiday lets

Product Used

Tricel Novo UK10 & Packaged Pump

Project Introduction

Tricel was approached to help with a challenging project involving both a residential property and newly constructed holiday lets. The goal was to efficiently manage wastewater through a treatment tank while overcoming geographical challenges. The residential house sat atop a hill, easily allowing gravity to feed into the treatment plant. However, the holiday lets were located at the bottom of the hill, necessitating a reliable pump solution to transport wastewater uphill to the treatment tank.

Our sales area manager, Barry Hodden worked on this project with Willowmead Developments.

THE CHALLENGE

The core challenge was the geographical disparity between the two properties. The residential property could rely on gravity alone to connect to the treatment plant, whereas the holiday lets were in a lower position and required a pump station to send wastewater up to the treatment tank. The key to success was the installation of a system that integrated seamlessly with both types of properties. Specifically, the solution needed to address:

  • Pumping wastewater from the holiday lets to the treatment tank effectively.
  • Maintaining the efficiency of the Novo UK10 gravity-fed system for the residential property.

The Installation

The installation took place over a period of two weeks, with Edincare providing technical support and working with the pump station package. Willowmead Developments, the selected installer, was instrumental in making the installation a success. Edincare supplied the packaged pump station necessary to lift wastewater from the holiday lets, ensuring it could reach the treatment tank without issue.

TRICEL SOLUTION

To tackle the situation, Tricel took a hands-on approach. Barry visited the site and suggested the right configuration that the customer would need to achieve optimal results. Tricel then coordinated with a certified installer to discuss these requirements directly with the customer, ensuring everyone was on the same page.

The solution involved the Novo UK10 gravity system for the residential property, alongside a reliable package pump station to serve the holiday lets. This combination effectively ensured all wastewater was processed through the treatment tank without interruption or complexity.

The Feedback

The final result was a highly effective system that integrated both gravity and pumped solutions. The customer was very happy with the results, particularly as it enabled her to expand her new holiday let business without worrying about the logistical hurdles of wastewater management.

Thanks to the collaboration between Tricel, Edincare, and Willowmead Developments, the treatment tank system is now functioning smoothly, allowing for the proper handling of wastewater from both uphill and downhill properties, making it an ideal solution for complex site requirements.
