Case Study: New Build in Penzance

Louisa Inch, director of Premier Water Solutions, said:

Premier Water Solutions was appointed to provide a foul and surface water design for a large house.
Due to the constraints of the site and a tidal groundwater, we advised that the best course of action would be to connect into the mains sewer that was 138m up the main road.
We inspected the underground services mapping and noticed that there were 14 underground services in the road that had to be crossed. These included the Trans Atlantic Data cabling, two medium pressure gas mains, BT fibre optics and a water mains.
Through careful planning and mapping, we successfully completed a zero strike.
Premier Water Solutions designed and installed a new pump station, air valve and rising main with five metres of gravity pipe with connection into the South West Water manhole. We obtained approval from South West Water for the connection onto their apparatus and from building control to comply with building regulations part H.
The client was more than satisfied with the project and the delivery. As a result of the successful completion of the project, we were then asked to design and install surface water soakaways for the one in 100-year event plus 40% for Climate Change. This was again successfully completed in the time frame and then signed of by building control.

Homeowner Julia Newnham said:

When I was advised that my building project was going to have its own sewage plant, I wasn’t very happy.

My instincts told me there would be problems.

I contacted Premier Water Solutions and Louisa Inch came out to survey the site; immediately I felt in safe hands. Louisa pointed out that due the proximity to the railway line and the closeness of the sea, that having our own sewage plant might be an issue.

My builder that a plant would be fine and that I was worrying unnecessarily. The work started and we felt uneasy at the prospect of the plant when we saw the tide come into the first hole.

I called Louisa again and she very kindly took us on at this late stage of the build, designing a system for the foul water. Very rapidly work began with a great team working very long days to get the job done.

Dealing with Premier Water Solutions 10 Ltd, filled us with confidence that everything was being done totally professionally and correctly. I felt we didn’t have to worry about anything…everything happened just as Louisa had designed and pointed out, and in the timescale.

​I couldn’t recommend Premier Water Solutions 10 Ltd highly enough!
