DESIGN

Design is my passion, and being proficient with AutoCAD design software I will prepare professional plans that are very clear and easy to understand.  Following the initial site inspection I will consult with the client to determine what type of system best suites their needs and fits within their budget.

On a high-level, the average job can be broken down in the following steps:

• Site visit/interview to evaluate existing conditions to determine what type of system would work best with the soil, lot characteristics and budget;
• After discussing options with the property owner, a proposal will be submitted with cost estimates;
• When the design options are agreed upon, survey information may be required;
• Professional Detailed design preparation using AutoCAD software;
• Submit all filings the Health department in the Project’s jurisdiction;
• Provide Client & Installer with design and permit;
• System is installed as per the design drawings;
• Final inspection required upon completion;
• Prepare AS-BUILT drawings;
• Final filling with health department; and
• Provide client with final paper work including User Manual outlining inspection and maintenance requirements.

INSTALLATION

For convenience, Pacific Septic also performs installs if the client wishes to pursue this route.  It is always much easier managing projects where the Planner and Installer have an existing working relationship.  As such, we are the “one-stop-shop”, capable of installing residential and commercial systems.  Installers play an active role during the design phases and are consulted throughout the life cycle of every project.  This allows for optimized design solutions that offer a best-fit solution to meet all unique site characteristics.  Additionally, this will mitigate any issues that may arise during the installation.

On average, a system install can range from between 2-5 business days depending on weather conditions and existing work load of the contractor.  All installations must adhere to the Worksafe BC and Health Authority regulations as it relates to Onsite Wastewater Management.  Safety is top a top priority!

INSPECTION

In the event that the client wishes to install the system themselves or using their own certified Installer, we will provide inspection services to assist in the installation of our design, as required.  It is important that every design is installed as per the specifications to ensure proper functionality of the system and to maximize the lifespan of all its components.
