When this service helps
When a proposal relies on on-site wastewater management, an assessment helps identify the land and soil constraints affecting treatment and effluent management. Soil testing forms part of the wider assessment.
What you receive
A land capability assessment and the effluent-management documentation included in your scope. Depending on the agreed scope, this includes:
The proposed wastewater use and relevant site constraints
Soil and site investigation included in the assessment
Agreed assessment and effluent-management documentation
Your questions, answered
Is an LCA just a percolation test?
No. Soil testing is one input. The assessment also considers matters such as slope, water conditions, available area and setbacks for the proposed use.
What should I send with my enquiry?
