At A Glance:
- Location : Bicton, Shropshire
- Contractor: Capital Construction Management
Products Supplied:
- Fitted with an orifice plate flow control chamber, limiting the discharge to 6 l/s.
- Debris cage fitted around the orifice plate to eliminate potential for blockages. In the 5 years since it has been installed, it has never blocked, despite minimal maintenance of the system.
- ‘Plug and Play’ design resulted in fast and simple installation on-site. Complicated chamber construction, benching and on-site flow control installation eliminated.
- Health and safety risk reduced, as confined space work eliminated, such as fitting the flow control within a concrete chamber.

- 100 litres per second bypass flow rate
- 5,556m2 catchment area
- GRP design makes for complete off-site built design and lightweight product for easy installation.

A new village stores was required in the small and relatively untouched Shropshire village of Bicton, near Shrewsbury.
High quality stormwater treatment was required and a SPEL Stormceptor 210C1/SC was used to treat the stormwater run-off from the car park. This bypass oil separator was sufficient for the catchment area as there is no large spill risk such as a fuel delivery area, therefore a bypass oil separator that will treat the first 10% flow and allow storm flows to bypass, was acceptable. This specific 210C1/SC model is capable of treating 10 litres per second and bypass up to 100 litres per second of storm flows. In line with BS EN 858 guidance, this separator can be used for a catchment area up to 5,556m2.
As the site was a greenfield site, the discharge was required to be at a controlled flow and therefore a SPEL Stormcheck off-site built flow control chamber was used and fitted in SPEL’s factory with an orifice flow control plate that was protected from clogging with debree via a mesh protection. With the flow control unit being fitted off-site there is no health and safety or specialist skills required to fit the flow controller within a confined space, or inside a deep chamber. The chamber is simply placed onto its concrete base slap, connect up the incoming and outgoing pipework and backfill as per our installation guidance.
