Great video, we're in north Alabama, we have clay that is essentially potters clay.
A ideia é ótima,só que não temos essa tecnologia no Brasil 👍🇧🇷
Congratulations
Cool tunes

Here in the US, you would get in big trouble with the environmental health agencies. Essentially it's still going into the ground with these systems, but it has to be 100' away from a well, etc.
@@ConstructionVideos in Russia, these septic tanks are certified. no problems .. why does a private house need a well? a well of 80 meters solves all issues.
Beleza muito bom 👍👍😎
Hole with a bucket nice
very good your septik tangk leak water
It does not leak water. The solids are separated from liquid into the 2nd compartment, and the effluent goes into the 3rd compartment where it is dosed all at once to the leach field where you can see it sprays evenly into all of the infiltrators and is filtered through the sand bed and into the ground.
Pretty good system there. Better than dumping it off the hill somewhere.
'Tis true!
Ever seen such overkill and destruction for septic water ……….good luck, cheers from Australia
We are required in most cases to do some reclamation. We bring in top soil with organics, or will recover it with the organics we scraped off so that it quickly grows back over the new system.
First time seeing one of your videos. I have a few questions. I'm somewhat familiar with the chamber system for the leach field but not with the small PVC pipe down the middle. I assume it has holes in it for the water to drip from but why is it needed instead of just stopping the pipe where it enters the chambers? I put in a single line of chamber system to extending my septic system leach field but I stopped the pipe just inside the chamber so the water could just fill the chamber how it wanted to. Wasn't told about a pipe down the middle. I'm in NC if that makes any difference. Did I do it wrong? It hasn't caused any problems that I'm aware of and it's been 2 years now. System is working better than before. Ok now what I'm wonder is where y'all are located because the ground looks like your digging in a gravel pile? Is it gravel that I'm seeing? Will grass grow in that type of soil/material? The septic system looks very professionally done. Guessing y'all have done it a couple times before this one. The little bit of grading y'all had to do made the yard look a lot better too. Very nice job. Great video. Stay well. -Wil 👍
Thanks for the comment! To answer your questions, this is a pressurized dosing system. The laterals running through the infiltrators have holes every x-amount of inches and when the septic tank fills up enough, it doses 180-gallons all at once, unlike the drip systems of yesteryears. When it doses all at once like that, the head pressure allows for the effluent to spray through the holes evenly all down the line and throughout each row of infiltrators at the same rate. This is different from the non-engineered trench systems that simply pour into the leach field chambers. From what I understand from the Engineer, the native soils perk too well, which is why we have to bring in the sand filter to slow the absorption and allow the necessary treatment to happen evenly throughout the entire length of the field all at the same time. I am not sure if it is a state or county regulatory deal, but here in Colorado, and more specifically in Teller County, probably 90% of the systems are engineered in this way. Many of the older systems are the usual trench with maybe 1 or 2 serial connections to additional trenches. Here where we work, a septic system has to be inspected prior to the sale of a home, so we are often called in when the inspection shows a failing leach field. In order to replace, an Engineer has to come to a soil test and ultimately design a new leach field, so we've seen a lot of these older type of systems replaced with the newer Engineered designs.
@@ConstructionVideos Thanks!
I like where it reduces from the main line, guessing 110mm straight down to 65mm? Instant blockage point, then another at the t intersection.
One way to push shit back up hill 👍
This is treated effluent with no solids, so it's no issue at all. It is a dosing pressurized system.
@@ConstructionVideos 👍
Will you work out near Antero Reservoir off hwy 24 to install a septic system?
Hey there! We do work in Park County. Feel free to email us to discuss- info@peakdirtworks.com
Ничего не понятно,но оооочень интересно!
This looks like an infiltrator system and to my knowledge, the inlet pipe only goes into the FIRST arch about 8 inches. The rest of the field has NO pipes running through them.
The risers at each end are supposed to by cut into the riser portion of the arch. Check it out.
Yeah I'm with you. I don't understand this system either
This is an Engineered pressurized dosing system with a sand bed. The laterals within the infiltrators have a series of holes drilled in the pipe. When the 2-compartment tank fills up into the 3rd compartment high enough, a dosing siphon in the 3rd compartment is triggered and the system doses (approx. 180-gallons at a time). It is like a fountain inside the infiltrator, spraying evenly throughout the bed. Our non-engineered systems work as you describe. For those, the effluent drains from the tank into a distribution box that evenly distributes the effluent into trenches that have the infiltrators but no laterals. 95% of the systems here in the region are Engineered due to the soil conditions. We have very rocky, decomposed granite soils that actually absorb too well, thus not allowing the effluent to be treated effectively before going into the ground. Because of this, for Engineered systems, we have to over dig the leach field and fill it with 2-3' of special (read expensive) sand, then build the laterals overtop of the sand bed as seen in the video. We don't Engineer the systems, we simply install per the Engineer's design. The determination of whether or not an Engineered system is required is made by the Engineer upon inspection of the test holes that we dig. It all depends on the LTAR (Long-Term Acceptance Rate) of the soil.
It’s kind like a LPP but it’s cool I’ve never seen chambers so close but that a cool way
Excellent! What is the ballpark cost?
A system like this averages in the 18-22k range, depending on whether or not a pump is required. If there is not enough fall for a gravity-fed dosing siphon, like this one, then the pump adds approx. $2750 in additional materials.
@@ConstructionVideos : thanks!
Also, the TOP of the arch should be no more than 4' from the finished soil.
Per the Engineer's design, the system has a minimum 1', maximum 3' coverage over the top of the infiltrator.
It looked like 2” pipe in the leach field. Why not 3”? 2” seems too small.
The more modern dosing systems use 1.5-2" laterals in order to pressurize the system and spray the effluent evenly across the leach field. This has a 3-compartment tank with a dosing siphon. When that 3rd compartment fills up, the system dumps the contents. Each dose is approx. 180-gallons and it is literally like the Bellagio fountain inside spraying within the chambers and evenly distributing the effluent. Very different than the older "drip" systems, which are uncommon here in our County with the decomposed granite soils. Great question!
Sing Melody songs while you work
Did you watch to the very very end? =) Snuck one in there! I wonder what others would be acceptable for public use?
Yea good luck with that hole system
This is how the majority of septic systems are designed in this region. We simply install the Engineer’s design.
I live in northern Canada and this system does not work unfortunately
All of that for a 3 bedroom ranch home? In good soil. Looks like over kill and I use to install them in Taxachusetts a very heavily regulated state where the cities and towns have their own Boards of health. In the town of Littleton MA for example they subbed out their BOH but the regulations are written by the board members at the time and they were not Civil engineers but rather folks that resisted new building in town. They made things very difficult. They would require.... 4 passing perk test 2 in the primary area and two in the reserve area... They required a 10ft deep hole to determine high ground water. That determination set the bottom of the leaching pipe 5ft above that. There are some homes that had systems in the front yard and from the street you could only see the roof of the home. Ridiculous. To boot you could only use approved sand. What state is this in? Nice work.
1-bedroom 😬
It is pretty crazy out here. I am sure someone lobbied someone. Here, we have to dig 8' test holes and then the Engineer determines the soil type which determines whether or not it needs an Engineered system. 99% of the time here, with the crushed granite and/or clay soils, it has to be Engineered like this with the sand filter and pressurized dosing system. When the soil it optimal and does not require an Engineered system, we create the design based on the LTAR and design flow. When it's a non-Engineered system, it is just a trench system with a distribution box and the effluent pours into the chambers with no laterals. It's the Engineered systems like this one that are so involved.
i have never seen a drain field like that in my life
Pretty involved huh? This is how the majority of systems are Engineered in this region. A lot different than 10 years ago!
@@ConstructionVideos so why does the pvc run all the way through your chambers. I've never installed one like yall did but have recently installed several. Also whats up with the water spewing out for the end ball valves. That would be sewage spewing when time. This system is different than all the ones I have installed
@@cab3910 The water spewing is just a way for the Engineer to verify that there is the correct amount of fall from the tank to the leach field. The water had to spray a certain height to show that the head pressure was acceptable. It is also a way to flush the system after everything is connected and glued to ensure the laterals will be cleared of debris/plastic shavings, etc and ready to function as designed. After the test is performed, the valves are turned off and covered with a Sprinkler-type valve box cover so it can be accessed later, if necessary.
@@ConstructionVideos that doesn't make any sense. How would the water spewing out show how much pitch the pipe has? And Ur dwv system shouldnt be under head pressure after testing. Unless a stoppage occurs. We test with a 5' riser topped off with water but that only shows no leaks and that the system can handle maximum capacity and pressure. Looks good tho. Just a bit funny to me.
@@jpmonin7429 This is pressure dosing system, not a drip system, so the head pressure needs to be enough to push the effluent to the leach field and spray out of the holes in the laterals. Each dose is 180-gallons and the laterals have holes drilled throughout so that the water sprays up and around the infiltrators to cover the entire field evenly.
How come they never put fabric over the drain field infiltraters, most installers do . I do it on every one that I install
The infiltrators themselves are a hard plastic covering over the laterals. They have breathable baffles on the sides that allow air to get out without allowing dirt to get in.
How much does this cost?
An average 2-3 bedroom engineered system is in the 22-25K range, depending on whether or not it needs a pump and how big the leach field/sand filter needs to be.
Hi my name is Cesar I need help about the ingenier septic system I live in Reno nevada Washoe county
Hello, Cesar. We can answer generic info about this system, but for you'll want to contact an Engineer in your local area to help with any specific questions. Every area is different as far as ground conditions, local code, requirements, etc.
The base under the leach field sure doesn't look permeable.
It is decomposed granite with a sand filter- a common system in this region that seems to perk well.
Where are all the ROCKS
This was mostly decomposed granite. We got lucky this time, but often times we have to hammer through some pretty hard veins! (In the VERY end of the video, we did hit a rock vein while digging the service line from the house to the tank. Thankfully, it wasn't that bad.
How to video? More like a look what we did video. Oh well
We appreciate your feedback. We will be working on a more detailed video in the future to explain the process.
whats the cost of something like that and it's for how many people? Thanks
Im asking the price is $11k dollars
Other which sprinkle outside $7k dollars
Im needed install one is expensive.
@@e.torreslohacemossinoloinv2416 How many people would that serve? Looks like a hotel's worth?
@@bday55 This was actually a very small home- 1 bed/1 bath. We simply build to the Engineer's design. This area has a lot of decomposed granite and often requires a sand filter.
Average cost of a 2-3 bedroom Engineered system is 18-22k. If it needs a pump, you can expect about $2750 more in materials.
@@ConstructionVideos Thanks! Great Job! Have a great weekend!
👏👏👏😁😁😁👍👍👍
The bobcat would easily outdig that backhoe 2 to 1 … wasted time
We never know what kind of ground conditions we will encounter. The bobcat was simply a demo we were testing out that day. It did work well, but we ultimately ended up purchasing a CAT miniex.
No way in hell. Bobcats don't even dig.
talking about overkill...
We live in Northern NJ and we had a system like this installed and it didn’t last 3 years. Total piece of cr*p. Pun intended.
From the pic alone I can tell you that the lateral lines are not code
This system is built to code, and as per engineered design specs. It has also been inspected/approved by both Engineer and Environmental Health Inspector.
wtf ?
Why not just put bacteria from the bottom of the ocean or the bacteria from our salty boggy marshes that breakdown and consume organic matter and convert it into electrical current as long as you use a non-conductive septic tank and then put a superconductive coating on a conductive Rod or strip of metal on each end of the septic tank to receive electrical current discharge from bacteria to power your house or charge an EV vehicle.
price
😠😠😠
You really wasted a lot of money by putting the chamber's so close together. They should be 6ft apart
This is a bed system, not a trench system and is installed and functions as Engineered. We do both, but this is what the Engineer called for in the tight space on this lot and based on the soils report.
@@ConstructionVideos I'm from Louisiana everything you dig is clay or iron ore. So I guess that's why we don't do it that way. It causes over saturation in one spot so we have to spread it out.
@@danielsmart7368 For us, it's mostly DG (decomposed granite) so we actually have to slow it down. That's why we have to bring in the sand filter. There is a 3' deep bed of sand under the chambers. It unfortunately makes it very expensive to install Engineered systems around here. When houses sell now, they are required to have a septic inspection partly because of how costly the replacement/repairs are! Pretty crazy, huh?
Selling stuff just for profits
The customer really don't need all of this crap
Over kill
An a conventional system would work fine.
We don't design/upsell the system. The Engineer designs the systems based on local and state requirements/code, so our hands are tied. Part of what makes the systems so costly are the county requirements of a concrete tank (vs a poly/plastic tank), as well as the need for a sand filter to slow the effluent for proper treatment. It is much more complex than the regular systems that are used in other areas, but we don't have any control over what is required, unfortunately.
@@ConstructionVideos Time for compost law's in that state,
People are really getting tired of being swindle by greed, and schemes, and manipulation just for profits !
Not only that we own 14 acres and we are allowed to do what we want on our land as far as septic design
Just because we own over 10 acre's
Seems the more wealthy you are the more you are allowed to do what you want !
Garbage install and system IMO, too many possible components to fail
We simply install what the Engineer designs. This is how 99% of them are designed in our region.
i've never seen this type of system before .very interesting .
i use to live on sixty acres in northern California
where numerous mound systems were tried for years but failed . fortunately i had excellent soil and was able to do the old style drain field while the county was arguing amongst themselves on how to come up with something that worked .
Mine worked perfect for ten years before i sold the property .
Yes, these newer engineered systems are what we have to install about 95% of the time of here. It is expensive, unfortunately. The concrete sand they require us to use to build the sand bed under the leach field is about $37.50/ton. Average 2-3 bedroom system is about 18K-22K, not including a pump, if needed.
@@ConstructionVideos 20K ?? Wow that's almost triple what i paid ! Yikes .
@@siriosstar4789 I know! materials alone are upwards of 12-15K.
@@ConstructionVideos Oh my goodness. I knew I loved being on city services but I did not know how much until I saw those numbers.
@@ConstructionVideos What is that special about that "concrete sand"? I have no idea what is it but very interested. Is it about granules? Are they "super huge"?
