10.3.3 Loadings:
If the tank is installed in an area where traffic or other superimposed loadings can be applied, consult a
structural engineer for the design of a reinforced concrete slab to prevent the load being transmitted to
the tank (or its concrete surround). If this slab is constructed immediately above the tank, it should be
separated from the concrete surrounding the tank by a compressible material. Installation guidelines are
available from www.uk.tricel.eu
10.3.4 Control of groundwater:
During installation tanks must not be subjected to buoyant forces.
Incorrectly installed tanks that are subject to movement, rotation or floatation may become damaged, for
which we cannot accept liability.
Contact a qualified engineer if there are difficulties on site due to adverse water logging.
