10.3 Detailed installation information:
The Tricel Novo must be situated a minimum of 7m from the dwelling and as far away as practically
possible considering topography and pipe work levels. The Tricel Novo should not be installed in an area
subject to flooding or excessive water runoff. The area around the Tricel Novo should be adequately
drained, to permanently remove ground water and surface water from the proximity of the tank. The Tricel
Novo system is not suitable to be used in water logged sites, where the ground water may rise above the
inlet level.
10.3.1
Excavation
size:
Suitably sized equipment will be required to excavate the hole and to lift the plant into place.
Installation depends on on-site conditions, water, slopes, location etc. Excavation should be planned with
due regard to health and safety requirements, and should be either shored or battered back to a “safe”
angle. The excavation should allow a minimum 250mm clearance between the tank and the excavation
wall or face of shoring. A minimum of 500mm is also required between adjacent tanks. Unstable ground
with excessive sand, peat swamps etc. may require larger excavations. The excavation should be
maintained dry by pumping or whatever suitable means.
Total excavation: {Width. + 500mm} x { 500mm}
Excavation depth:
Dry Site: Allow 250mm for tank base/plinth.
