SMK Consultants are specialists in the development of on-site wastewater management systems which are required to manage domestic and commercial wastewater in un-sewered areas. The potential for on-site wastewater management systems is dependent upon a number of factors including:

 

• soil type

• soil profile

• topography

• hydrology

• hydrogeology

• proposed wastewater loads

• effluent quality

 

Effective management of on-site wastewater treatment systems requires comprehensive site evaluation and system design, followed by appropriate system installation, operation and maintenance.

 

SMK Consultants can design and develop on-site wastewater management systems of any scale from domestic to large commercial applications. In developing on-site wastewater management systems SMK Consultants can:

 

• Conduct site and soil evaluations to characterise site conditions, identify site constraints and determine available areas for land application of effluent.

• Calculation of expected wastewater flows, peak design capacity and equivalent population (EP).

• Undertake mass balance and nutrient modelling

• Select appropriate wastewater treatment systems and detailed land application area designs.

• Prepare wastewater reports, designs and Site Based Management Plans to achieve development approval and meet state government licensing requirements.
