Client
A large caravan park in Ballymoney, Co. Wexford, accommodating 120+ caravan pitches and operating a high-load wastewater pumping station.
The Challenge
The caravan park had several critical wastewater issues requiring an immediate, engineered solution:
1. No Space for Percolation
Due to the park’s footprint and the volume of caravan pitches, there was no suitable area for a traditional percolation field. This ruled out conventional treatment options.
2. High Seasonal Demand
With more than 120 caravan spaces, peak-season wastewater loads were significantly higher than a typical domestic or small commercial system.
3. Existing Wastewater Was Pumped Off-Site
The park relied on pumping wastewater down the road to an external treatment point — a costly, inefficient, and long-term unsustainable option.
4. Zero Tolerance for Disruption
The park operates continuously through busy summer periods, meaning any upgrade or installation had to be carried out without interrupting guest usage, amenities, or bookings.
The client required a compact, high-capacity, rapid-install treatment system, capable of integrating with the existing pumping station and handling large fluctuating loads.
The Solution: TPW Systems + TER3 Eurotank Modular Technology
TPW Systems worked closely with the consulting engineer and the client to design and install a replacement system built around the TER3 Eurotank modular treatment units.
Key Elements of the Solution
1. 42 TER3 Eurotank Modular Units for Rapid Installation
The system comprised 42 modular treatment units, designed specifically to:
-
Be installed quickly and efficiently
-
Scale to the required capacity without taking up excess space
-
Integrate seamlessly with the large pumping station already onsite
These modules formed the complete wastewater treatment system, not accommodation units.
2. A Compact System With No Need for Percolation
The Eurotank TER3 system provided a high-performance treatment process that eliminated the need for a percolation area entirely — the key constraint on the site.
3. Engineered for Heavy, Variable Loads
With peak-season surges from 120+ caravan pitches, the modular system provided:
-
High treatment efficiency
-
Strong resilience to load variation
-
Reliable performance even in demanding holiday periods
4. Installation With No Operational Disruption
TPW Systems coordinated installation in a way that:
-
Avoided downtime
