Wastewater Treatment & Effluent Disposal

On-site wastewater treatment and effluent disposal facilities are used on unsewered properties.

One of the important aspects of an on-site wastewater management system is the requirement for a thorough site and soil evaluation to be undertaken as part of the process of obtaining Council approval for effluent disposal within the property.
Our qualified environmental scientists and geotechnical engineers have the expertise to provide a comprehensive assessment of wastewater disposal options for your property, whether it be for a new house, proposed subdivision, or large facilities (e.g. horticulture developments, function centres, rural holiday accommodation and cabins). We also have experience in negotiating with local and state authorities and stakeholders, delivering feasibility assessments backed by our in-house expertise in MEDLI modelling.

A typical wastewater treatment assessment includes:

Walk-over survey by an experienced geotechnical engineer or environmental scientist to assess conditions for on-site effluent disposal.
Subsurface investigation using boreholes or test pits to assess available areas for effluent disposal.
A Council compliant report with recommendations regarding sizing, position and construction of the effluent disposal system
Tectonic conducts all wastewater treatment and disposal assessments in accordance with Australian Standard AS1547 On-site Domestic Wastewater Management.
