5.10 Non-standard installations
5.10.1 Alternative to concrete backfill (for wet sites without risers only)
•
The option of securing the Tricel Novo to a reinforced concrete slab or Deadman anchor
by way of straps may also be used, as shown below:
•
Tricel accepts no responsibility for the design of the concrete slab/Deadman anchor.
This solution should be designed by an on-site structural engineer to suit site
conditions.
•
Position the straps as close to the bolted joints as possible.
•
Install the reinforced concrete slab/ Deadman anchor after lowering the level of the
ground water, if necessary.
•
Once the straps have secured the Tricel Novo, the backfilling with concrete or gravel
can commence.
5.10.2 Sloping ground
When the slope of the ground is 5% or more, it is recommended to install a retaining wall to protect
the tank from the lateral thrust. Concrete backfill may also in some cases be sufficient to protect the
tank. A qualified structural engineer must determine if a retaining wall is required in the presence of a
steep slope as shown in the picture below:
5.10.3 Proximity to rolling & static loads
Minimum separation distances from:
• Rolling Loads (e.g., vehicle traffic): 4 metres
•
Static Loads (e.g., dwelling house, shed): 3 metres
If installing the tank 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
transmission of the load to the tank (or its concrete surround). If this slab is constructed
