Drip Distribution Project - Housing Estate, Co. Monaghan 2015

Project overview

An upgrade to 3 overloaded wetlands was urgently needed as the adjoining stream was heavily polluted with sewage and feeding into a sensitive catchment. Furthermore, the site conditions were difficult due to tight clay soils and a high water table with mottling at 400mm.

Ashtecs were engaged to assist with a difficult situation. Ashtecs designed and installed a drip distribution system into the surrounding land. The system provided the expected successfully outcome, resulting in a significant improvement in stream water quality, deeper groundwater quality continuing to improve, and a very happy client.
