Commercial Conundrums

Join us for a FREE live webinar hosted by Infiltrator Water Technologies featuring members of our team. Please note all webinar times are Eastern Standard time.

Abstract
Onsite Wastewater systems can face challenges when dealing with commercial facilities, the “usual suspects” to name only a few include higher flow rates, highly variable flows, large peak flows, high strength waste and difficult waste composition. However, on top of those concerns what does one do when dealing with an inexperienced designer presenting plans that are very limited. This presentation will discuss unique, real projects that faced differing problems and what was done to resolve the issues to advance the project. This presentation will help designers, engineers, and contractors be able to recognize and respond properly for an improved system design, installation efficiency and how best to cover their liabilities.
