Triumph at the abbey

摘要

Wpl and installation partner Soma Services have installed HiPAF Sewage Treatment Plants at National Trust property Fountains Abbey. The two companies were appointed by the National Trust to provide solutions for its wastewater management needs at Fountains Abbey, a World Heritage site in North Yorkshire. An increase in visitor numbers and tighter standards forecast by the Environment Agency (EA) meant existing systems needed to be upgraded or replaced in several different locations throughout the property, including foul flow from toilets and visitor centre restaurant; a toilet block and tea rooms treated by old septic tanks and foul drainage of the onsite holiday cottage development. In the 1980s, a treatment system was installed on land adjacent to the Fountains Abbey West Gate to treat foul flow from toilets and the visitor centre restaurant. This system was well maintained by a local contractor and as a result gave good service.
