EFFLUENT PONDS» EFFLUENT SYSTEMS» POND DESIGN» POND CONSTRUCTION» SOLIDS SEPARATION Regional Council requirements around nutrient management have seen Blackley Construction become involved in the design and construction of a number of compliant effluent ponds. We use our practical earthmoving skills and engineering expertise to find practical, workable and economic solutions for our clients. GPS equipment is used to survey the site and earthworks design software is used to prepare the best pond solution for your site. We have experience in constructing ponds with synthetic liners as well as constructing in-situ clay ponds.
