At Don Chapman Waikato, our expert team specialises in designing and constructing effective effluent containment systems tailored for dairy operations. A well-designed system can prevent income loss, health issues, and potential fines associated with improper waste management.

Effluent treatment solution options


Weeping Walls
Our weeping wall design efficiently captures up to 80% of solids. The system features a dual-side configuration: while one side is in use, the other side allows solids to dry. Dry solids can then be used as low-cost fertilizer, making this an economical and effective solution for solid waste management.

Effluent Bunkers / Pumping Sumps
Custom-sized to meet your farm’s needs, these bunkers are used to store effluent before it is pumped to a pond or spray applicator. They are an essential component of an integrated effluent management system.

Solids Bunkers for Solids Separators
We offer both construction of concrete structures and complete management of the effluent separation process. Whether you need just the infrastructure or a full service, we provide solutions tailored to your requirements.

Stone Traps and Double or Triple Wedges
Our custom-designed sand traps and wedges address the limitations of standard precast options, which often require frequent emptying. Our large, maintenance-free double and triple wedges minimise the need for frequent cleaning, avoid power use, and prevent blockages. Designed to accommodate current and future farming needs, these traps offer long-term efficiency with minimal maintenance.
