Installation

Our company has successfully implemented interceptor solutions for various businesses in different sectors. To ensure exceptional quality and careful monitoring, we only rely on dedicated in-house teams consisting of highly skilled professionals.

Experience you can trust!

We have over 50 years of experience handling and installing factory-made Interceptors and separators. Using our experience to make sure that all materials are handled correctly and regulations are adhered to avoiding the risk of damage or downtime when on site. Our installations are all completed to the relevant Building Regulations, Standards, British Standards and British Water Codes of Practice, equally important and often overlooked. Good Health and Safety procedures are vital and we hold numerous independent accreditations our working practices are certified to ISO9001 to give you peace of mind and confidence.

Our installation teams have accumulated years of experience and knowledge in products, installation techniques, ground condition work, and project coordination. This enables us to provide expert guidance and exceptional customer service, regardless of the difficulty of the task at hand.

Our business began with land drainage pipe installations and has evolved into complete design and project management of wastewater treatment solutions. Now, we are acknowledged experts in the sector. Regardless of the project, our focus and purpose remain clear:

  • To take full ownership and responsibility for ensuring the correct installation of all supplied finished products.
  • To take ownership of and responsibility for the correct construction of bespoke, site-built items and services


We guarantee that all work will be completed as per the agreed specifications, standards, timescales, and costs, while strictly adhering to health and safety procedures throughout the entire process.

Installing an interceptor in the ground with precision can ensure its protection against ground movement and water level changes, ultimately extending its longevity. However, a faulty installation can interfere with the flow routes that are integral for effective treatment.

Continuing on the same note, while modern machinery makes deeper digs relatively quickly, it generates more spoil for disposal. Additionally, deeper installations necessitate more concrete for backfill. All of these factors ultimately contribute to increased costs.

It is easy to understand why we emphasize the significance of good design right from the start…

Handling large and valuable plant pieces on-site requires a high level of skill and expertise. As a result, effective site planning and management procedures are essential, along with skilled and qualified personnel. Our commitment to maintaining ISO9001-certified systems, procedures, and working practices, combined with multiple health and safety accreditations, ensures that we uphold these high standards on every site.

Implementing these safeguards not only ensures safety but also prevents complacency, leading to cost savings. Our familiarity with various manufacturers’ products enables us to conduct swift and cost-effective installations, reducing the risk of damage to GRP vessels. By employing risk assessments, method statements, and safe systems of work, we protect this advantage, effectively managing risks and minimizing downtime.

With over 50 years of experience, we have honed our skills and now excel in our field. Our practical expertise, supported by independently certified systems, ensures you receive the installation service you need. Rest assured, our reliable service provides you with peace of mind and confidence, freeing you to focus on other aspects of your business.

Design

Our expertise lies in creating customized on-site solutions for interceptor and separators as well as drainage schemes. We work with the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency, the Environment Agency, and Natural Resources Wales to ensure that our wastewater designs are optimal in terms of value and efficiency.

Good design is critical to the success of any and every project!

We have over 50 years of experience designing interceptor and separator solutions built to work and last.

Our designs and recommendations are informed by our first-hand knowledge gained in interceptor, sewage treatment plants and pump station installation and maintenance. All work is done according to the latest Environment Agency and SEPA requirements and guidance, current Building Regulations and Standards, British Standards, and British Water Codes of Practice in England, Scotland, and Wales. All systems are ISO9001-certified demonstrating our competence, commitment, and care.

Our design processes deliver the best value and secure solutions by allowing you to make informed choices. As a “whole-of-market” provider, you will benefit from our independent advice and unbiased guidance based on our hard-won knowledge and experience.

Can we help you?

Need something other than an interceptor? We supply and install market leading products for the following requirements:

  • Sewage treatment plants
  • Septic tanks
  • Soakaways & drainage fields
  • Pump stations
  • Petrol interceptors
  • Stormwater separators

With over 50 years of experience, we have a common history with the manufacturers and suppliers of the many different interceptors and separators currently on the market.

Our past and present service and maintenance portfolio includes plant and equipment from most suppliers over those 50-plus years, so we have a unique body of experience on which to draw in order to advise you. That applies as much to a completely new solution as it does to the identification, ongoing maintenance, possible renovation, or eventual replacement of an existing asset.

We work to the latest environmental and construction regulations in Scotland, England, and Wales. It’s our job and our responsibility to know what has to be done to meet these Standards and Regulations. It’s our job to know whether or not a permit is required from the Environment Agency or Natural Resources Wales or a license from SEPA, and how to apply for it for you.

As members of British Water, we not only work with our own industry’s relevant Codes of Practice but also help to develop and encourage best practices through British Water in order to raise standards throughout the industry.

Understanding the processes behind the operation of a system is of utmost importance, and goes beyond merely knowing its function. It’s also not sufficient to simply know what an interceptor does. Instead, it’s essential to comprehend how it functions and its suitability for particular applications.

Our unmatched skills in these areas set us apart from other competitors in the industry.

You probably know what interceptor solutions are available, but you may not know how to choose between them. We’ll first give you an overview of your options and then fine-tune them based on what matters to you. we’ll discuss the impact of your priorities and choices over multiple discussions to make sure you get exactly what you are after – This will include:

  • How do you currently use the site/facility and how do you intend to use it in the future?
  • The current size of the site/facility and any potential future development plans.
  • Your preferred location for the installation of any system
  • The best location for the installation of any system bearing in mind how you wish to use the site in the future
  • The sensitivity of the environment and what is required to safeguard the environment from pollution 

 

Site investigations may be required before finalising certain options. failure to do so either due to cost-cutting or lack of knowledge, the results can lead to costly and unpleasant consequences.

By consulting us before even seeking outline planning permission, we can design a functional interceptor and separator that maximizes your site’s potential. Our early involvement provides more options, leading to the best value for your project. Delaying until plans are approved can limit your options and may require working around existing conditions

Our aim is to provide a well-thought-out recommendation that meets your priorities regarding capital, running, and maintenance costs. We consider applicable regulations and the environmental impact of the interceptor. As an impartial service, we offer choices from the entire market, not favouring any specific manufacturer. While we have preferred suppliers based on their proven capabilities, performance, and reliable service, our ultimate focus is on finding the best solutions for you.

To uphold a high standard of service, our internal administrative systems and on-site procedures are thoroughly documented and continuously refined. Our ISO9001 accreditation ensures that we consistently deliver top-quality solutions. We gladly collaborate with other professionals to seamlessly integrate our designs into drawings, and like them, our design services come with a guarantee. Committed to environmental protection, we are also certified to ISO14001.

At Hutchinson Environmental Solutions, we believe that good design is crucial in ensuring that our proposed solutions meet their intended purpose while also complying with the agreed-upon requirements. The best part is that it doesn’t have to be costly. Our dedication to affordable and effective design guarantees that quality solutions with us won’t break the bank.

Customer Testimonials

"We have worked with Hutchinsons on a key project for over 2 years and found they were brilliant to work with. They provided a solution that addressed our immediate waste management needs but that also future proofed the business to allow us to realise our growth ambition with minimal future investment. Paul guided us through a challenging Environment Agency permit variation process and when the team came to do the install work they were great. The project was completed on time and the work was faultless. In fact, they were very flexible at dealing with unforeseen challenges during the install to make sure the system was ready as planned. Would highly recommend them."
Andrew Lovell Commercial Director, Lucidity Group Ltd
"I wanted to say how pleased the residents of 'the globe' are with the new water treatments system installed by Hutchinson. Ian Henderson's team were organised, efficient, hard working and cheerful. They took particular care when working within the tight confines of the garden. It is hard to believe now that such a major works have taken place recently. Thanks also to the helpful office staff and the commissioning engineer"
Anne SillHomeowner
Hutchinson offered a very professional wastewater service treatment system design service from the outset with an unbiased approach. In the past we have engaged independent drainage consultants, but we quickly felt like Hutchinson provided more independent and expert advice and could supply whatever we needed, and then commission and maintain it, at great value and with peace of mind.
Mike PerrisMD & Owner, Master Builders
Hutchinson have the skills and experience to ask the right questions to identify all sources of wastewater to be treated and from which the hydraulic loads and organic flows – or the amount and strength of the sewage – are calculated. Their familiarity with the location and the local support available from Technical Manager Paul Usher, working from Lancaster into Cumbria, made Hutchinson an obvious choice.”
Dominic HamblinTechnical Manager, WPL
We'd just like to thank Hutchinson and the guys who put the system in. The work was done carefully and considerately, they kept us informed when we asked anything, the site was and has been left in good condition, and they didn't eat all of our biscuits! I'm pretty sure I can still hear Craigs laugh echoing around the place too. They're a lovely bunch of guys who did a great job.
Ian HeronHomeowner
"What a lovely bunch of lads that have been working at South Hazelrigg for the past couple of weeks. They are tidy workers, polite, a pleasure to have around and they have left the site tidier than when they arrived. I would have no hesitation of having them back again"
Tony Gabioli Lilburn Estates
"Thankyou to the team who installed the WPL treatment plant at my property. They were very tidy and neat and it caused the minimum disruption, which I appreciate.
Cherylle Millard-DaweHomeowner
"As a business owner myself, I appreciate time is money, and that you have provided the requested report free of charge so I cannot thank you enough. We will be sure to recommend you for relevant work in the future"
Tobin I'AnsonHomeowner
"Big Thankyou to Andy, John & Jack's work for whom nothing was too much trouble. I appreciated being talked though the layout so understand the flow from the head of drains to the outfall."
