Septic & Water System Design

Standard Design Package

Site Visit

A site visit is performed to evaluate soil properties, the proximity of water sources and determine the desired capacity for the new system. These factors determine the type of system that is required.

Site and Soil Report and System Design

A Site and Soil Report and system design is completed using data collected from the site visit. The Site and Soil report provides an overview of the system design and soil properties while the design consists of the Site plan, Detailed system and Layout drawings completed using AutoCAD software. Every system design is completed/stamped by a professional engineer and sent to the IHA for approval.

Installation

Once approved, the system design gets sent to a certified installer to carry out the installation.

Final Inspection

A final inspection of the installation is performed for certification.

Letter of Certification

A Letter of Certification is applied for and received from the IHA. The letter, design, and system maintenance manual is provided to the client.

SEPTIC SYSTEM DESIGN

FOR SMALL HOUSEHOLDS TO LARGE ESTABLISHMENTS

Septic System Types

Type 1

Suitable for properties with space for a large dispersal field away from water sources, well-draining soil and/or low usage.

Type 2

More complex design suitable for properties with average soil drainage, space for a large dispersal field away from water sources, and moderate-high usage.

Type 3

The most complex system design suitable for properties with spatial restraints including proximity to fresh water sources. These systems may also be used to accommodate higher usage and/or properties with poor soil quality.

BIOROCK treatment tanks are available as an option for Type 3 designs to maximize the efficiency and reduce annual maintenance of the entire septic system. BIOROCK treatment systems can be requested for any design.

WATER SYSTEM DESIGN

FOR MULTI-HOUSEHOLD RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES OR ESTABLISHMENTS

Water Distribution

Each water distribution system design is customized based on expected daily water usage, the number of distribution points, and the site's slope and soil conditions. Water systems can be designed to service developments including: vacation rental cabins, rural communities, campsites, and properties with multiple structures or irrigation connection points. All designs are completed and certified by a professional engineer registered with the Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia.
