Wavin-Labko Ltd is a Finnish company with over 45 years’ experience in designing, manufacturing and marketing various plastic products.

The product range covers the separator systems of business and service construction, wastewater systems in rural areas, foul water systems in Civils & Infrastructure, and storm and rainwater treatment systems. Wavin-Labko has pioneered as the developer and manufacturer of separators and wastewater treatment products. The success is based, not only on the productive innovations, but also on high quality, and on goal-directed developing of the business skills.

As developers, manufacturers and vendors of Separator Systems Wavin-Labko is the pioneer in Nordic Countries. The early start and the strong emphasis on R&D have made Wavin-Labko the market leader in this field. Company’s aim is to keep this position by further emphasis on R&D and on the service concept. The products, tested and certified according to the EN standards, guarantee the users the best possible solutions for years to come.

Wavin-Labko offers the widest product family of Wastewater Treatment Systems in Rural Areas in Finland. Wavin-Labko presents the best possible wastewater treatment solution, according to the needs of each residence or summer cottage. Purchasing a new wastewater system, or renovating the old, is always a significant financial effort. Wavin-Labko values the fact that the customers can rely on the quality of the products, even in demanding conditions, through the whole wastewater system range.

In Pipes and Chambers the company is supported by over 50 years’ strong experience of the international Wavin Group. With its extensive and high-quality product portfolio for Civils & Infrastructure, Wavin is the leading supplier of plastic pipe systems in Europe. The company’s Foul Water applications cover the needs of different new and renovated constructions. With larger amounts of storm and rainwater, aside the traditional rainwater systems, new applications are needed to ensure the optimal treatment of storm water without risking the natural water balance. Wavin faces the challenge with the innovative and effective Stormwater Management Solution.

Wavin-Labko has a turnover of approximately 20 million EUR (2007), and the company employs about 90 experts from different fields. The head office is located in Kangasala, and the regional offices are in Oulu and Joensuu. The production facilities of Wavin-Labko are located in Joutsa and Kangasala.

Wavin-Labko is a part of the international Wavin Group, which is the leading supplier of plastic pipe systems in the European market. Wavin has a presence in 28 countries.

The Finnish Wavin-Labko Ltd started the career of designing, developing and manufacturing various environmental applications already 45 years ago as a family-owned business. The company started its operation in Heinola, from where it moved via Tampere to Kangasala in 1982, where also the present head office is located.

The business operation of the former Oy Labko Ab (Ltd) was at first based on level gauging between the oil and water surface. Already at that time, the company was a pioneer in this field, since no other company used the same technology.

The sister company of Labko of that time manufactured GRP boats, and the advantages of using the GRP were found in R&D, too. As the result of innovations, a separator system was born, and added with the know-how in electronics, a forerunning product was presented in the market: a separator system equipped with an alarm device.

Soon, aside the separator systems, the company manufactured cesspools, which opened the way to a new field of business. Today, separator systems and the wastewater treatment systems in rural areas build the backbone of Wavin-Labko’s business. The company has pioneered in developing and manufacturing both of these product groups. The success has been based, not only on the productive innovations, but also on high quality, and on goal-directed developing of the business skills.

The GRP products of Wavin-Labko were first manufactured from the early 70’s onwards in Sysmä. With growing business, the production was moved to Joutsa in 1989. At this point, Lasa-Muovi Ltd, a facility focused only on production, was founded. Even today, it is here the GRP products are manufactured. Operational development and diversity called forth the need for a further facility to manufacture PE products. After 10 years, a PE plastics factory was built in Kangasala, located only a few kilometres from the head office.

In 2003 the business perspective was widened, as the family-owned company was sold to the international Wavin Group. “Oy Labko Ab” became “Wavin-Labko Ltd”, and also a subsidiary of the Danish Nordisk Wavin A/S.

Wavin is the leading supplier of plastic pipe systems in Europe. Separator and tank products fit well in its strategy. Pipes and tanks share the same distribution network, and additionally, pipes can be used with separator and tank products. Through the acquisition, Wavin-Labko has a new and significant marketing network in Europe. Wavin products are a welcome addition to Wavin-Labko’s product range in home markets. The company’s status as the engineer of various demanding solutions was strengthened.

Electronic level measuring and alarm devices, automation and identification, and web-based data transfer systems were a significant part of the Wavin-Labko’s product range for a long time. As the years passed, it was concluded that the level measurement business was rather far apart from the core know-how area of the company, and thus it was given up.

In 2007 the Net&Instruments unit was sold to the Swedish Indutrade AB. With the acquisition, both companies are able to strengthen their core areas in business, and can more accurately respond to the needs of each customer. Level measuring electronics is still a significant part of Wavin-Labko’s product range, and the reliable wastewater treatment solutions with their alarm devices are still available in one place.

Clean nature and rich water resources are a great and valuable matter, and their protection benefits everybody, and is everybody’s delight. Law on nature conservation takes a stand on wastewater management, too: Wastewater purification must be efficient enough to minimize the risk of any harm to environment. Wastewater treatment systems must base on known and tested methods.

Wavin-Labko presents the required solutions today and tomorrow. Environmentally friendly products, wide product range, and solid expertise are the company’s strengths, which can be trusted on in the future, too.

	Cesspools The wastewater collected in cesspools is transported to communal wastewater processing plants, and no nutrient load is placed on surrounding natural water systems. Quite often the toilet water is to be collected in a cesspool, because a major part of the nutrients (70-80 %) loading the environment originates from toilet waters. The cesspool is ideal for important ground water areas, and for other areas, where even the processed wastewater cannot be led into the soil. Depending on the application, even a small cesspool can be sufficient. In some cases, however, it is essential to purchase a cesspool with the volume of several cubic metres. Wavin-Labko has a wide range of PE and GRP cesspools in different sizes. All the cesspools of Wavin-Labko are equipped with filling alarms that comply with the requirements. Advantages of Wavin-Labkoâs Cesspools: â˘ Cesspools are low (depending on the size, from lower edge of the inlet sewer to the bottom 1 m-1.57 m). â˘ Labko Cesspools have no restrictions on installation due to ground water level. â˘ The cesspools made of strong PE plastic have the emptying pipe in the middle of the tank. In addition to the ball-shape of the bottom, this allows the complete emptying of the tank. â˘ The maximum installation depth of the Labko Cesspools is one metre from the lower edge of the inlet sewer to the ground surface. â˘ The GRP Cesspool is also available with extra-reinforced wall. This is suitable in locations, where the sewer depth exceeds one metre â even up to the 80 000 litre volume. Complete equipment set is delivered with each cesspool. This includes the LOKASET 20 filling alarm, the probe with 15 m cable, the anchoring belts, and the emptying pipe with the cap. The alarm device contributes to an easy way of controlling the filling of the cesspool. Labko LOKA 10000 Cesspool is delivered either with the emptying pipe (D 200) or with the maintenance shaft (D 600). The maintenance shaft has a plastic cover. Anchoring plates are available as an accessory.
	Infiltration systems An Infiltration System is an underground wastewater processing system with a septic tank as the pre-processing unit. In the septic tank the components heavier and lighter than water are separated from the wastewater. From the septic tank the solid-free wastewater is led into the subsoil infiltration pipes. A biologically active layer forms in the soil, where the microorganisms decompose the main part of the organic matter in the wastewater. The cleaned wastewater infiltrates into the ground. A two-chamber septic tank is sufficient for processing the grey wastewaters, whereas a 3-chamber septic tank is designed to process all wastewaters. Labko SAKO Septic Tanks are designed according to the EN-12566-1 standard. Labko SAKO systems are ready-to-install packages for constructing a subsoil processing system. Labko SAKO-3 Infiltration System includes the septic tank and the infiltration pipes with filtration fabric. In many tanks there is an in-built, patented flow divider, which allows an equal flow into both infiltration pipelines. DeLuxe and Tripla models include a separate distribution well. When the distribution well is used, the subsoil processing system can be located further apart from the Labko SAKO tank, and the aligned position is not the only option to lay the infiltration pipes. This might be needed, e.g. when the soil beneath the building is not suitable for infiltration, or when the building stands on sloped terrain, and the infiltration pipes are aligned with the contours. Labko SAKO System Advantages â˘ Special-perforated infiltration pipes â˘ Covers of the maintenance shafts can be locked â˘ Easily hidden from the eye, since the maintenance shafts can be cut to align with the surrounding ground level (400-1000 mm) â˘ Shallow structure (bottom-inlet 1170 mm), suitable for sites with rock close to the ground surface â˘ The ball-shape of the septic tank bottom and the spacious maintenance shaft allow complete emptying â˘ High maintenance shaft allows sewer installation even in 1 metre depth

	Separator Systems When developing the separator systems of Wavin-Labko, we have used our experience of more than 40 years in manufacturing various separators. The separators are manufactured in Finland, in the plastic factories of Wavin-Labko. All products are tested and reliable, whole systems ready to be installed, including the separator, a maintenance shaft dimensioned according to the installation area, and a cast iron cover and frame set. All oil separators of Wavin-Labko also include the oil filling alarm device as a standard. Reliable and Durable Products The separators of Wavin-Labko are operationally reliable, and special attention has been paid on their easy maintenance. High quality and consideration for the facts of environmental protection ensure that the user can have the best possible result for decades to come. Wavin-Labkoâs separators are made of PE or GRP plastic. Due to the solid and recyclable PE plastic, the separators are light to transport and quick to install. The GRP separators are manufactured using a computer operated winding machine, and their strength is far superior e.g. to those laminated by hand. PE and GRP plastic are materials immune to corrosion, and their chemical resistance is overwhelming e.g. compared to the concrete separators. Tested Models Wastewater emission is controlled more and more strictly by increasingly stringent legislation. Wavin-Labko is ready to comply with the requirements, having developed a series of separators, which has passed the tests according to the EN standard defining the flow rate and purification efficiency. When tested, the 1st class separators are to reach a hydrocarbon concentration of less than 5 mg/l in the outflowing wastewater, and correspondingly, the 2nd class separators should have a concentration of less than 100mg/l. The mechanical ground pressure resistance of the maintenance shafts is also ensured by tests according to the EN 1825 standards.
	Sequence Batch Reactors BioKem Batch Reactors are biological-chemical wastewater treatment plants, into which all the wastewater from a residence can be led. They are intended as effluent treatment systems for residences used all year round in rural or sparsely populated areas. BioKem Batch Reactor consists of the underground process tank, maintenance shaft and device shelter. The chemical pump, the compressor and the chemical canister are located in the device shelter. Additionally, it contains the control unit, which controls the process. The device shelter is placed next to the process tank on the ground surface. The tank itself is emptied of the residual sludge from 2 to 4 times a year, according to the model. Desludging is done clean and easy using an emptying truck. BioKem Batch Reactor is ideal for challenging installation sites, too. The tank is small and durable, and the maintenance shaft of the tank has a terrain-adaptive and childproof cover, which can be locked. The delivery includes starting chemicals, according to the model. BioKem is a low-cost solution. In addition to the low price, the low power consumption and the long emptying cycle make BioKem inexpensive to use. Advantages of BioKem Batch Reactor: â˘ Easy to maintain â˘ Low-cost in use â˘ Easy and quick to install â˘ Meets the requirements of the wastewater standards â˘ Simple process â˘ Odourless â˘ Durable and long-lasting
