The customer’s ConSept had overflowed in the distribution chamber; the distribution chamber (downstream of the ConSept, inside the Klargester Septic Tank) was overflowing onto the lawn. Come with us as our engineers provide their septic tank repair services.
In the year 2010, Mr Hodgson approached Allerton with a problem: When it was raining, water entered the cellar from the floor and walls, causing a flood 6 inches deep. The cause was a high water table in the Sleaford area. Read on to find out Allerton’s genius solution!
The Allerton ConSept is a piece of equipment we designed to fit within your existing septic tank, to turn it into a functioning sewage treatment plant. Come along with us on this installation of an Allerton ConSept septic tank conversion, in Carlton Scroop, Lincolnshire.
A cesspool is an underground tank used to store raw sewage until it is emptied by a suction tanker. About 20 years ago, before Confined Spaces laws were brought in, Jon Allerton had the task of converting a large cesspool into a pump chamber. Follow along this sewage adventure in our blog post.
Our engineers hand-dug and reinstated the ground for an outlet pipe on a ConSept recently. The pipe is overhanging the ditch directly above water so that it does not corrode the bank around it. Follow along with our engineers in this blog post!
We had to relocate a DRS (Dual Raw Sewage) control panel in Ruskington. To do this we had to identify where it was discharging to! So we put bright green vegetable dye in the system to see the sewage discharging into a ditch. Here are the results!
Raw sewage, starting at around 300 BOD (estimated by British Water) can become as little as 20 BOD once treated by a Sewage Treatment Plant, which can be discharged into ground! Read on to learn all about the process.
After removing discs from a Klargester Sewage Unit at Scunthorpe Steelworks, two Allerton Engineers fitted a new rotor and bearings. The discs revolve, dipping into the dirty water and turning in the fresh air, giving the aerobic bacteria what they need: food, water and air. Follow along as our sewage engineers go to work!
Septic tanks (ST) are used to deal with sewage water from lavatories, kitchens, baths, showers, and wash basins. This post is all about the historic use of Brick Built Septic Tanks in wastewater management, and how the old tanks can contribute to soakaway problems if not taken care of properly.
