DESIGN

It is apparent that constructed wetlands are noticeably more biologically complex than treatment processes applied in the sanitary engineering field. Blue Crane focuses on the design of constructed wetland water treatment systems. ARM Reed Beds assists with the process design. The detailed design of the systems is completed by Blue Crane. System process design involves:
The design of a constructed wetland or any other treatment system depends on the best possible knowledge of the influent water and site conditions.

CONSTRUCTION

Blue Crane is experienced in the construction of wetland treatment systems relevant to various treatment applications. Blue Crane have constructed more than 20 reed bed systems for the treatment of wastewater throughout Southern Africa. We have intimate knowledge of the materials, civil works, mechanical and electrical components required for the construction of treatment wetlands.

Maintenance and operation

Constructed wetlands requires low levels of maintenance but are not maintenance free. Blue Crane prefers to remain involved with the operation and maintenance of the systems in order to protect the asset and the technology. Like any system, a lack of maintenance will result in system failure. Maintenance activities are essential to preserve the long-term functioning of the constructed wetlands.

With experience gathered over 25 years, Blue Crane can provide long term maintenance agreements to ensure optimal systems performance. An appropriately designed and well executed operation and maintenance plan will guarantee a longer life-span of the constructed wetland systems.
