Precast concrete septic tanks are generally more robust than tanks made of steel, plastic or high-density polyethylene. Precast concrete is supple enough to endure excessive loading conditions without the worry of collapse or failure and has many other benefits over tanks which are made of different materials.
Precast concrete septic tanks provide the simplest form of “off mains drainage” sewage plant treatment. This is provided that suitable soakaway conditions are available for disposal of the final effluent.

A wide range of septic tanks are available- which are designed to civil engineering standards in full compliance with Building Regulations section H and BS 6797, to treat domestic sewage for population equivalents from 4 to over 100 people.

Why should you choose a precast concrete septic tank?

• Small to medium (ST4 – ST15) range come complete with an integral base
which can be laid onto a blinding layer of sand without the requirements for
a concrete sub base
• Typically there is no requirement to backfill with concrete or gravel – just
use excavated soil
• Quick installation
• Lightweight septic tanks requiring concrete backfill typically take longer to
install
• No requirement to fill the tank with water whilst backfilling takes place
• Excavation, installation and backfill typically can take place in 1 day
• Push fit gaskets for quick and easy connection of pipework
• Complete package including lockable covers
