When you’re out for the day, you don’t really think about what it takes to keep facilities running, especially in areas of off mains drainage. But behind the scenes, a lot of work goes into ensuring everything is compliant and working efficiently for visitors.
Project Overview
Bressingham Steam Museum and Gardens, a popular heritage attraction in Norfolk, required an upgrade to its sewage system to ensure compliance with current regulations. The museum’s existing concrete-built tank discharged into a ditch, raising environmental concerns. Our team at Mantair was brought in to assess the situation and implement a modern, compliant solution.
Challenges & Objectives
- The existing tank was failing, due to being vastly under-sized, and its discharge method was non-compliant.
- The museum’s visitor numbers fluctuate throughout the year.
- The new system needed to integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure while minimising disruption to museum operations.
- The area suffers from a high water table.
Solution Implemented
- Installation of a new Marsh Ultra Polylok 190PE sewage treatment plant.
- Installation of a new raw pumping station and main.
- Commissioned the system and signed off on all works, ensuring full compliance.
Outcome
Bressingham Steam Museum and Gardens now benefits from a fully compliant and efficient sewage treatment system, ensuring sustainable wastewater management for visitors and staff. The upgrade safeguards the museum’s operations while protecting the local environment, allowing them to continue welcoming guests with confidence.
