INSTALLATION IN PERMEABLE FREE DRAINING SOILS
When the Sump Basin is to be installed within free draining soil, the Basin must not be perforated so
that the system is not draining large volumes of water from the surrounding soil. The Basin must
also be sited within concrete, and ties must be used to anchor the Sump Basin into the surrounding
concrete to prevent floatation.
TITAN SUMP BASIN INSTALLATION
Finished floor level
680mm
510mm
Dig a round hole ready to receive the Sump Basin. The hole
should be 680mm deeper than the height you would want the
lid to be at once the installation is complete. The bottom of
the hole should be as flat as possible and be at least 510mm
across. The hole should get wider at the top as 650mm of
width is required at lid height.
Finished floor level
Lay 50-60mm of concrete lean mix to the bottom of the hole.
Place the basin in the hole and adjust the height by bedding in to
drop basin or pulling up to raise it. Ensure the chamber is level.
650mm
Drill holes and punch about 6 to 8 coach bolts or rods through
the small holes in the chamber into the sub soil as anchors.
Make all pump and drainage connections through the side of
the Titan at this stage.
Check height and level once again. Fit the lid.
Concrete around the Sump Basin ensuring that the chamber remains
level.
Keep on the lid. Screed around the Sump Basin using the
lid as a datum.
