Laying on the ground: tracing and excavation
The structure of the Mediterranea formed by omega beams allows laying on a cement base, but also on
stabilized soil2. Therefore, if it is installed directly on the ground, it is necessary to carry out an excavation
with a forced section 12 cm deep, that takes up the dimensions of the
bearing structuree. look

Figure 1 Excavations for housing the basic structure
Once the excavation operations have been completed, remove the loose earth from the ground, taking
care to remove stones or elements from the laying surface that could subsequently damage the PVC
covering inside the tank. Then proceed with a leveling of the laying area, checking that the ground is level
and free of slope.
WARNING
For an optimal result, we suggest weeding the area of installation.
In the end of the base kit structural assembly, as indicated on the folllowing manual, will be necessary to
cover the the beams with the land previously moved, to level it again. The upper face of the Omega beams
will determine the finished portion of the bottom / top of the tank.
WARNING
For an optimal result, once the basement of the base structure is finished, we recommend laying an ultra-
fine quartz sand bed3 of about 1 - 1.5 cm inside the shape of the tank, to be leveled and made of
homogeneous thickness by straightening. Then apply any non-woven fabric3, anti-root, if the possible
regrowth of plant elements is assumed.

Laying on the land is not recommended due to the instability that the same may incur.
