Septic & Wastewater System Design in Marlborough

​

Building on a property without public sewer, or replacing an older septic system? RISEN designs onsite wastewater solutions for homes, businesses and rural properties across Marlborough, including the Marlborough Sounds. Each design responds to the site, expected use and Council requirements.

What the Design Process Includes:

​

• Site Evaluation: We inspect the property and assess soil, slope, available land, access and expected wastewater flows. This establishes whether a septic tank or secondary treatment system is appropriate.

• System Selection & Design: We size the treatment and land application system for the property and select a practical solution that meets the applicable requirements.

• Council Documentation: We prepare the engineering design, calculations and plans needed for building or resource consent and respond to technical questions during processing.

• Land Application Design: Options may include septic tanks with trenches or beds, or secondary treatment systems discharging to drip irrigation or other suitable land application areas.
