The piping has been properly connected. (
1. Backfill the construction pit to DIN EN 1610 / DIN 4124 / DIN 18300 / NF P 98-331,
VOB and ATV-DVWK-A 127.
2. Properly complete the backfilling process. Take care to fill any cavities at the
valve pit with a suitable tool (e.g. spade) and compact the back-fill by hand.
ð
Place sidefill (sand with a particle size ≤ 8 mm) in layers of up to 300 mm
around the collecting tank until a height of 500 mm has been reached.
ð
Backfill the remaining pit with material corresponding to soil quality G1,
particle size < 16 mm, in layers of up to 300 mm.
3. Evenly compact the filling material to EN 1610 / DWA-A 139 and DIN 18300,
page 10, 3.11. During this process, continuously check the valve pit for any
deformations, other signs of uneven load and installation errors.
