Helping to prevent pollutants from reaching your ground water
A range of waste water treatment solutions
Every site has its own set of challenges. We are available to offer you advice, look at your planning site suitability reports and call out to talk through the best outcome for your home. We offer carefully designed, single-home septic tanks up to advanced wastewater treatment for large group schemes. We are free for a chat and will do our best to offer objective advice.
Maintenance and Aftercare
If you become our customer, we will continue to offer support long after you have moved in. We have a team of experienced service technicians on the road and are available as part of annual service agreements or one off call outs. We are also available for advice at any time, including a helpful print guide called Caring for your Bio-Crete so you know how to maximise the effluent quality.
When we visit, we can see how well your tank is working and make adjustments if necessary. We can ensure the sludge return is functioning as well as assessing the quality of the digestion and if desludging is required.

Certification
We use our on site laboratory to achieve the required level of performance, quality, and regulatory compliance.
Bio-Crete wastewater treatment system is the product of choice for thousands of homeowners, architects, soil testers, builders and installers. It is a concrete tank that is installed simply and quickly. It is a reliable and environmentally sustainable way to protect your local ground water. The Bio-Crete wastewater treatment system has been tested and certified by PIA in Aachen, Germany to EN 12566.
Cost-effectiveness
Septic tanks generally are a very cost effective and low maintenance way to treat domestic wastewater if you have the right soil and underground conditions. If your site layout is such that you can get a gravity flow to and from the tank you will eliminate the need for more expensive infrastructure, such as connecting to main sewer lines, pumps or treatment plants.
Septic Tanks
The standard Septic Tank is designed for up to 8 people. This tank is certified by PIA-Aachen to EN12566-1. Septic tanks are ideal for sites where the soil has good natural percolation rates and there are no issues with high water tables or shallow bedrock. Larger tanks are available if required. We manufacture all our septic tanks in our factory in Clonroche, Co. Wexford, using self-compacting concrete certified by NSAI to I.S. EN 206-1:2002.
Environmental Benefits
Properly functioning septic tanks contribute to the protection of groundwater, nearby wells and surface water sources. There are many houses with old septic tanks that are not functioning correctly, allowing untreated waste to pass into groundwater which may have negative effects on both health and the environment.
Upgrading your Septic Tank
There are many reasons to upgrade your existing septic tank for example it may be allowing the flow of effluent into your ground water. County councils are increasingly stepping up their activity in inspections of septic tanks. They often find below standard water quality in streams and trace upstream to any potential source. They may also get called out to inspect one house in an area and inspect every house on that road.
As always, we will offer advice on upgrading and grants.
How they work
The aim of both septic tanks and treatment plants is to get your effluent to the required level before it reaches the water table. Septic tanks and the primary chamber of treatment plants facilitate the natural process of wastewater treatment by separating solid waste from liquids, allowing bacteria and other microorganisms to break down and decompose the organic matter. Treatment plants have additional stages of waste treatment, in particular, growing cultures of aerobic bacteria which are highly efficient at effluent digestion.
After being treated, the liquid portion of your wastewater will leave your tank and pass through your percolation area. There it will receive further treatment in the soil using naturally occurring bacteria before eventually reaching the water table.
What you need to know for Installation
Our wastewater tanks are delivered by our trucks & cranes from our factory in Clonroche directly to your site. Our experienced lorry drivers are happy to help advise your digger driver to ensure your tank matches up with your pipework and is level in the excavation.
We are more than happy to talk you through the installation process over the phone.
Percolation Area Guide
Depending on the results of your soil test and site suitability report, a variety of different percolation types could be used. We can provide Coco filters, or 32mm pipe work for soil and sand polishing filters.
We are always on hand for advice and to talk your installer or digger driver through the process.
