4.2.2  Installation of the tanks in dry ground conditions 

 

 

Once the base of the excavation is stable, the installation can begin 

 

The Primary Tank should not be positioned horizontally; it must have a slight gradient  

 

towards the water outlet 

 

Before connecting any water or ventilation pipes, ensure that the units are perfectly  

 

installed 

 

Ensure that all levels are correct so that the wastewater can flow freely through the system 

 

Check that all connections are correctly positioned 

 

Ensure that the seals are watertight 

 
 

4.2.3   Backfilling in dry ground conditions 

 

 

Backfill the hole with 3 to 6 mm smooth pea gravel, or lean-mix concrete whilst filling the  

 

tanks with water at the same level 

 

Do not exceed 300 mm per filling and compaction cycle 

 

Make sure that the BIOROCK® media is completely saturated with water 

 

Do not backfill with the soil removed during the excavation: roots and stones can damage  

 

the tank.  

 

Do not compact the backfill material mechanically: compact manually. 

 

Backfilling around and filling both the Primary Tank and BIOROCK® unit with water should  

 

take place at the same time. 

 

Once the backfilling is finished and compacted, check the levels of the tanks again 

 

The lids or access covers of the system should be installed just above ground, level to  

 

provide easy access for maintenance.  

 

Close and secure all covers with screws  

 

Complete the backfilling once all pipework has been checked and connected.  

 
 

4.3   INSTALLATION IN HIGH GROUND WATER CONDITIONS 

Appendix «Installation in high ground water conditions» 

 

The ECOROCK units can be installed in high ground water conditions with special precautions. 
If you don’t use a BIOROCK® Primary Tank, please confirm with the other manufacturer that 
this Primary tank is suitable for high ground water conditions. 

 
 

 

If you don’t use a BIOROCK® Primary Tank, please consult the manufacturer to 
ensure this Primary Tank is suitable for high ground water conditions. 

 

 

The level of the water table must never exceed the level of liquid inside the Primary 
Tank. Extremely high water tables signify a flood risk which could cause water ingress 
or collapsed tanks.
