Dora Carr Challenge.jpg

The challenge

Thames Water permits for sewer connection and adoption applications were particularly challenging. A new storage tank was required as part of the foul water design and the public sewer pipework was very close to the new buildings.

The SOLID Approach

Sound engineering principles and our in depth understanding of the legislation regarding water companies resulted in a rationalisation of the storage tank sizing and flow control devices within the network. This in turn resulted in a cost saving to the client.
