Use of Treated sewage effluent ( TSE) for construction

Use of Treated sewage effluent ( TSE) for construction

Use of Treated sewage effluent ( TSE) for construction

(OP)
I have a situation where contractor is asking to use TSE water for compacting back fill material, the back fill is mainly sandy soil and is below a steel pipe rack. can any one help with the advantages and disadvantages of this action? are there any adverse effects of using TSE on soil

RE: Use of Treated sewage effluent ( TSE) for construction

TSE is used in many places for irrigation, mainly under salinity control. Other than that, perhaps a bit of smell....

RE: Use of Treated sewage effluent ( TSE) for construction

JECCNC...this question was posted in another forum.  Please stick to posting a question in a single forum in accordance with the forum policies.

RE: Use of Treated sewage effluent ( TSE) for construction

yea, dont cross post...we cant have you getting answers from two groups of people.

RE: Use of Treated sewage effluent ( TSE) for construction

health and safety is the primary issue. you need to determine the quality of the effluent. make sure it is chlorinated or ozonated (sp?) and test it for E-Coli.

Thanks for your observation about the double post , I must appologize. I assure you it was not intended that way.
I was going through threads in " Structural forums" when I decided to post my query, right after that it occured to me I am probably in the wrong forum, sice my question was more towards environmental and soil mechanics,so I posted it on the civil/environmental forum and  tried to delete it from the structural section but didnt Know how ,any way I appologize again

RE: Use of Treated sewage effluent ( TSE) for construction

JECCNC, I was being facicious...There are some forums I dont read, and if you posted a question I could answer only there, I would never answer. Its a dumb rule.
