FOUL WATER DRAINAGE DESIGN
FOUL WATER DRAINAGE DESIGN
Foul water refers to any wastewater originating from toilets, urinals, sinks, showers, baths, dishwashers, and washing machines. This wastewater is then appropriately discharged into the foul or combined sewer network, a drainage system that ultimately conveys the foul water to treatment plants.
In rural areas where no public wastewater network is available near the site, foul water from a proposed development can be directed to a septic tank or a small wastewater treatment unit. Through this foul water drainage system, treated water is discharged either into the ground via a drainage field or, in the case of treatment units, into a nearby ditch or watercourse. However, consultation with the Environment Agency may be required to confirm the specific discharge requirements for the site

THE IMPORTANCE OF FOUL WATER DRAINAGE DESIGN
Foul water drainage design must be tailored to suit each new development. Planning an effective foul drainage system requires a thorough assessment of the site’s specific requirements, including the location and depth of the local foul sewer network, as well as the expected peak foul flow from the development that needs to be conveyed.
During this assessment, we always endeavour to identify cost-effective gravity-led solutions. However, where discharge by gravity is not feasible, we can liaise with pump suppliers to develop a practical and reliable pumped solution.
We also work closely with the relevant water authorities to design sewer diversions and secure the necessary approvals, including sewer build-over agreements where required.
