Another complete sewage treatment system installed and ready for service ✅

We’ve recently completed the installation of a 15-person sewage treatment system, delivered from start to finish by our team. The tank has been set on a solid concrete base with a full concrete surround, ensuring long-term stability and durability. All pipework has been correctly laid, bedded and surrounded in granular material to protect the system and promote effective flow.

Prior to installation, we carried out percolation testing to assess ground conditions and determine the most suitable drainage solution. Based on these results, we designed and installed a compliant drainage field, ensuring the entire system meets current regulations and performs efficiently.

At Dave Hockin Plant Hire & Groundworks, we offer a full turnkey solution, taking the hassle away from the client 👇

✅ Percolation testing & site assessments
✅ System design & specification calculations
✅ Supply of treatment systems & materials
✅ Full installation (tank, pipework & drainage field)
✅ Compliance with current regulations
✅ Final certification & sign-off with the relevant authority

We handle the entire process from start to finish, so you don’t have to.

If you’re looking for a reliable, compliant and professionally installed sewage treatment system, get in touch with our team today.

A great result delivered by the team.

The access track was carefully graded and prepared to ensure a solid foundation, with attention given to achieving the correct levels throughout. The team then installed a high-quality, fibre-reinforced concrete lane, finished with a brushed texture to provide the necessary durability and grip for heavy equipment operating on this steep incline.

It’s one thing to get it done, but another to get it done right — and that’s exactly what they’ve delivered here. Top effort all round

Not your average day on site… Our team took a trip to Buckingham Palace with one of our low loaders and kit 👑

Great to see everything come together - from haulage to sweeping and the lads on the ground keeping things running smoothly.

Proud to represent Dave Hockin Plant Hire wherever the job takes us 💪
