Rainwater harvesting contractor — rooftop harvesting, recharge structures and water recycling

Scope

Scope of work

The system is sized from the catchment area and the local rainfall, and the choice between storage for reuse and recharge to ground follows from the site's water balance and the soil's infiltration. We design the collection network, the first-flush diversion and filtration, the storage or recharge structures, and the connection into the flushing or landscape supply where reuse is intended, and we supply and install the pipework, filters, tanks or recharge pits and the pumping where it is needed.

How it is delivered — and what you receive

The installation is documented for the building-plan sanction or completion certificate where the local authority mandates harvesting, and for the green-rating submission where credits are claimed. Filters are cleaned and the first-flush checked before the first monsoon, and the AMC repeats that every year. The client receives the harvesting layout, the sizing calculation and the compliance certificate.
