Construction companies engage MEP consultants who have expertise in plumbing and pumping. Seldom have we come across these consultants having an understanding of STP design according to building types.

The factors affecting the STP design depending on building type are the water usage pattern the type of occupants and their habits of using water. Apart from this, some buildings may have hotels, restaurants, and car wash facilities that are not foreseen during the planning or even at the construction stage.

When it comes to offices and IT companies, the wastewater usage pattern is different when they are single-shift or multiple-shift buildings. Sewage treatment plants in Resorts and hotels suffer due to bad designs often due to MEP consultants’ negligence or lack of understanding of wastewater quality.

Residential property developers have been misguided by technology providers and consultants regarding the efficacy of STP with false claims that a sewage treatment can only go into operation when there is 30% occupancy.

Supermarkets, malls, and commercial buildings have to deal with low footfalls during weekdays and high footfalls during weekends and there is excessive footfalls during festive seasons. So the STP design has to consider water usage during all these situations.

All these constraints have a solution and when projects are constructed with sewage treatment plant designs that consider all factors such as occupancy, water usage pattern, holidays and vacation operations, low inflow accommodation, shock loads balancing, etc.
