Onsite Wastewater systems can face challenges when dealing with commercial facilities. The “usual suspects,” to name only a few, include higher flow rates, highly variable flows, large peak flows, high strength waste, and difficult waste composition. However, on top of those concerns, what does one do when dealing with an inexperienced designer presenting plans that are very limited? This presentation will discuss unique, real projects that faced differing problems and what was done to resolve the issues to advance the project. This presentation will help designers, engineers, and contractors be able to recognize and respond properly for an improved system design, installation efficiency, and how best to cover their liabilities. The plans to be presented were sent in with very limited information, and we will look at each project and discuss with the audience possible paths to address each site.
After this session, attendees will be able to:
1. Discuss the complexity of commercial system design and possible solutions.
2. Identify potential problems before they arise.
3. Minimize risk to protect your business with proper communication, thereby mitigating potential liabilities.
Ideal Audience: Designers, engineers, and contractors.
