CREATIVE DESIGN SOLUTIONS, INC. |
We have developed custom software for designing on-site septic systems. This software has been undergoing refinement, updates, and improvements since 1988. To a large degree this has been accomplished through incorporation of setup and testing data from actual installations over the last 22 years (See also, "experience"). This software save in construction costs by easily allowing optimization the combination of of the pump and piping components. One case in point, we had the opportunity to redsign a residential system in Jefferson County. Utilizing the optimization available through this software, we were able to reduce the cost of the system by $8,000 (in comparison to bids recieved on a previous design by another firm). Optimization of the combination of pump and pipe also saves on long term Operation & Maintenance costs. This is accomplished by being able to easily run "what if" scenarios on the pump/pipe combinations to determine the most cost effective pump while attaining the desired "scouring velocity" in the piping. Maintaining proper scouring velocity dramatically reduces the amount of larger organic growth developing on the pipe sidewalls and ultimately washing to the drainfield where it can clog the distribution orifices. This clogging caused uneven distribution of the efflueunt which can lead to premature failure of the system. |
