Septic Tanks in Brittany
SARL Arti Construction is a French registered company bringing new ideas and technology to the construction industry in the North West of France. This area includes Brittany, Normandy, Loire Atlantique and Northern France. We can organize your septic tank installation from the initial soil test to digging and installation of the septic tanks/sewerage treatment plants. Further information on WPL units;



Our installations meet or exceed current French septic tank installation standards and will be inspected either by the Saur or Mairie officials.
We will also help to commission the septic tank system, and can offer advice and maintenance contracts on the New WPL systems. If you have an existing septic tank and are having problems we can upgrade the system or make repairs as required.
