Do you have a sewage treatment solution for a site that is prone to seasonal flooding?
Customer Question:
Do you have a sewage treatment solution for a site that is prone to seasonal flooding?
Answer:
Flood-prone sites pose unique challenges for sewage treatment systems, but Butler Manufacturing Services (BMS) offers a variety of solutions tailored to these scenarios.
Solutions for Flood-Prone Sites
1. Above-Ground Installation with Pumped Inlet
Use the BMS Blivet Sewage Treatment Plant:
Installed completely above ground to avoid floodwaters.
Requires sewage to be pumped to the treatment plant.
Features:
The top of the Blivet is 2.3 m above ground, ensuring that treatment continues even during floods.
Anchored to a concrete slab to resist buoyancy and movement.
Use of water-tight inlet/outlet pipes and sealed electrical conduits ensures full functionality during flooding.
Example:
For floodwaters rising to 2.5 m, the Blivet can be installed on a 0.5 m raised slab, providing an extra 200 mm safety margin above maximum flood levels.
2. Surface Water Drainage Solutions
Surface Water Management:
For areas experiencing ponding or minor flooding, BMS can design and install a drainage system to divert surface water away from the sewage treatment plant.
Drawn from BMS’s one-stop shop for surface water management, options include:
Surface drains.
Water-tight trenches.
Overflow channels.
3. Concrete Basin and Shed Protection
Enclosed Installation:
Install the Blivet inside a concrete basin with a prefabricated shed above.
Additional surface water management ensures floodwaters cannot enter the plant.
