JFK Arboretum

Kingspan Klargester assists Mitchell Environmental Ltd on project replacing an old concrete septic tank.

Dedicated to the memory of John. F. Kennedy, whose great-grandfather, Patrick, was born in the nearby village of Dunganstown, the arboretum near New Ross, County Wexford, contains a plant collection of presidential proportions.

On 252 hectares there are approximately 4,500 species of trees and shrubs. The lake is perhaps the most picturesque part of the arboretum and is a haven for waterfowl. 

Kingspan Klargester supplied a new Klargester BB BioDisc, replacing an old concrete septic tank, as part of an upgrade to the existing wastewater treatment system on-site. The project managed by Mitchell Environmental Ltd included the following works; 

  • Installation of a new certified Kingspan Klargester BioDisc wastewater treatment system 
  • Rediverting a gravity foul sewer 
  • Installation of a tertiary polishing filter for effluent disposal to ground 
  • Decommissioning existing concrete septic tank deemed unfit for purpose

With its low noise in operation, being odour free, low-level visibility and offering a 7-year warranty, the Klargester BioDisc is the perfect solution in the peaceful and pleasant surroundings of the John. F. Kennedy Arboretum.
