BIOROCK Onsite Wastewater Treatment Plant installed at Iconic Tourist destination in North NZ

The structure and environmental context:

Te Mata Peak is an Iconic Tourist destination in Havelock North New Zealand. It has numerous hiking trails and is rapidly becoming one of NZ's premier mountain biking destinations and each year thousands of overseas visitors arriving in HB on cruise ships visit the Peak to enjoy the panoramic views.

The challenge:

The Peak has become so popular with locals and tourists that it now requires a public toilet block and associated amenities.

The solution: 

The local council called for Design/ Build tenders for an effluent management system to serve up to 300 visitors per day. The EMS Ltd offer to install an ECOROCK 5000 Wastewater Treatment Plant preceded by a 10,000L filtered primary septic tank to treat the effluent prior to being pumped to a specifically designed Low Pressure Effluent Dosed (LPED) effluent application area was accepted.
