Section III: TSS Installation
In-Ground Installation
In order to offset the effects of buoyancy caused by groundwater (high water ta-
bles), Thermaco, Inc. recommends concrete be poured around the anchor ring
and the Trapzilla
®
units installed in-ground. The amount of concrete to be used
is specified in the table below. The concrete is to be poured continuously and
completely surrounding the Trapzilla
®
Solids Separator (and Extension Collars if
applicable) to ensure proper strength and security.
