An oceanfront resort complex consisting of hotels, condominiums, a restaurant and pool house had a 50-year-old septic system that was showing signs it had run its course.
David Christiansen of DPM Partners, who manages the property, brought in Gary MacConnell, owner of MacConnell & Associates to engineer a new system for the Sea Ranch Resort. Located on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, in Kill Devil Hills, the tight quarters and proximity to the ocean required a design with low-pressure pipe distribution and TS-II pretreatment, which would allow for a 50% reduction in the drainfield size compared to the existing field.
