5 Installation
5.1 Installation planning
Important
Prior to the installation of the Tricel Novo, it is important to read these installation instructions
carefully.
•
When planning the installation of a Tricel Novo plant, consider the following:
Backfill considerations:
o
Is this a dry or wet site, i.e., the presence of a water table?
o
Which backfill material is appropriate for this site?
o
What are the finished ground level and will risers be required?
Note: Installations that need 500mm or 750mm risers require a concrete installation. It
is not possible to retrofit 500mm & 750mm risers to tanks with gravel
installations.
Site considerations:
o
Is the site restricted regarding area or height?
o
What is the topography of the site, i.e., being it sloping or flat?
o
What is the proposed depth of the installed tank to ensure the required slope
upstream?
o
Are static or rolling loads present on this site?
•
Only suitably qualified personnel should install the Tricel Novo.
•
Suitably sized equipment will be required to excavate the hole and to lift the Tricel Novo
into place.
5.2 Inspection opon reception of tanks
•
Visually inspect tanks for damage such as fractures to the shell or ribs, de-laminations,
scratches, or abrasions deeper than 1.5mm, which may have occurred during transport,
before installation. Notify the delivery driver and your supplier of any damage. Do not
attempt to carry out any unauthorized repairs, as this will invalidate the warranty on the tank.
•
Once tank installation is complete, Tricel cannot accept any claims for damage.
5.3 Positioning and precautions
•
Do not undertake the installation of the Tricel Novo in an area subject to flooding or excessive
water runoff as no flood waters should enter the tank.
•
The area around the Tricel Novo should be adequately drained, to permanently remove ground
water and surface water from the proximity of the tank.
