Septic tanks and drainage in Kempton Park

Kempton Park sits around OR Tambo Airport, so septic and drainage work is divided between sewered suburbs such as Glen Marais and Bonaero Park, and the plots and holdings of Birch Acres' surrounds, Chloorkop, Spartan and Kaalfontein that rely on septic tanks. Airport-related logistics, guesthouses and warehouses add grease traps, bulk pump-outs and after-hours work. Soils are clayey with a high water table in wet years, so soakaways stall easily. Operators serve the area from Spartan, Isando and Edenvale and often reach customers the same day. Guesthouses near the airport should book regular pump-outs, since fully booked weeks produce sudden, heavy loads.

Typical septic tank design requests in the area come from:

• Restaurants, shops and offices: layouts for kitchens and staff toilets that add fat and a heavier load
• Smallholdings and plots: a larger tank and field layout for a smallholding with several buildings
• Lodges, guesthouses and venues: sizing for peak guest numbers and laundry, often with a treatment plant
• Houses: sizing a tank by bedrooms for a new house or an extension that adds bathrooms
• Factories, mines, sites and events: temporary or permanent tank layouts for site offices, camps and workshops
• Estates and complexes: a design for shared tanks or one tank per unit, to meet the estate rules
• Schools, churches and clinics: large multi-chamber tanks for schools and clinics, with signed drawings
