Case Study: Klargester Sewage Treatment Plant Installation in Suffolk

At Cargate Engineering Ltd, we specialise in the installation of Klargester Bio-Disc Sewage Treatment Plants for domestic and commercial properties across Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and the surrounding areas. As an approved Klargester installer, we provide a complete turnkey solution, from the initial site survey through to excavation, installation, commissioning, and final reinstatement.

This recent project involved replacing an ageing Septic Tank with a Klargester NF Bio-Disc Gravity Sewage Treatment Plant, providing the property owner with a reliable, environmentally compliant wastewater solution for years to come.

The Client’s Challenge

The customer contacted Cargate Engineering Ltd to replace a Victorian septic tank, believed to have been constructed in the 1800s, which was discharging untreated effluent into a nearby ditch.

As the existing system no longer met current environmental standards and was discharging illegally, a replacement Sewage Treatment Plant was required to bring the property into compliance and provide a reliable, long-term wastewater treatment system.

Our Solution

Following a detailed site assessment, our experienced team designed an installation that met both the property’s requirements and the EA general binding rules.

The project included:

Site survey and installation design.
Removal and decommissioning of the existing septic tank.
Installation of a new Klargester NF Bio-Disc Gravity Sewage Treatment Plant.
Installation of 150 metres of replacement inlet and outlet pipework.
Electrical connection and commissioning.
Full testing of the system.
Backfilling and reinstatement of the surrounding ground.

Throughout the installation, our team worked carefully to minimise disruption to the client, taking into consideration the sensitive nature of the site as a working horse stud. Works were planned and carried out with the utmost care to ensure the safety and wellbeing of both the horses and staff, while maintaining the highest standards of workmanship, health and safety throughout the project.
