Engineered Septic Design Services

Septic System Alternatives

There are generally three types of septic systems that are issued by SCDHEC. In addition, systems can be designed by a licensed engineer where SCDHEC standard systems will not work. The three types of systems that SCDHEC issues are:

imag0006Conventional– Tank with a drain field consisting of 3’ wide rock trenches. The entire system is below the existing ground level. Very rare in the low country, lowest cost to build.

Modified Conventional– Tank with a drain field consisting of 3’ wide rock trenches. The entire system is at or above the existing ground level, usually has 12”-18” fill cap (above ground level).

Elevated Infiltration System (EIS)– Requires two tanks with a pump and a drainfield that is elevated above the surface and contained in a 35’ metal ring. The system typically ends up 4’ above the ground surface, so it also requires a large taper completely around the system. There is a 75’ setback from property lines. The picture to the left shows the EIS system under construction.

 

Engineered Alternatives- Under SCDHEC regulations, a SC licensed engineer can design and certify an alternative system. These systems can vary greatly. One system that I have been permitting is a Bed System

Bed system: Similar to a modified conventional system, varies in that drainfield consists of large gravel bed instead of trenches. Typical fill cap is still 12”-18”. System works where water table is high, but soil is sandy. Replaces Elevated Infiltration system. Also can be used where soils are good, but space is too small for a conventional system.

Left is a house originally permitted with an EIS, but replaced with a Bed System. Fill cap is blended in with surrounding area. Right is an installed EIS. Fill and taper take up a large portion of the yard.

With smaller setbacks there is more flexibility in the location of the system. It allows for system approval where it wasn’t possible with an EIS system and even the possibility of subdivision. This flexibility along with the lower profile makes the system more attractive and easier to integrate into your yard.

 

All cost vary considerably depending on site conditions and availability of materials.  For assistance and a free initial consultation regarding septic design options for your property call Malcolm Baldwin, PE at (843) 697-4340 or email mbcuce@gmail.com

941 Pinckney St; McClellanville- SOLD

No expense has been spared in this 2 year old custom built home. The Victorian appearance harkens to a different time. But, the exterior construction materials require virtually no maintenance. Hardy plank siding, copper roof in parts, 50 year shingles and PVC/masonry trim. Inside, your first impression takes you back to a less hectic time. However, all the latest conveniences are here, just disguised. Three hearths with gas logs, built-in commercial grade wood burning pizza oven, wood burning stove is actually electric. This house appears Victorian throughout. Details, details, details too numerous to list. What appears to be a detached garage is actually a 1 bedroom/1 bath studio with a Man Room attached. It is currently outfitted with the owners trophies from hunting world wide. THIS HOUSE NEEDS TO BE SEEN TO BE APPRECIATED !!!
