Concrete specification
Semi dry concrete 25n grade with a ratio of 4.5 aggregate to 1 cement.
Important:
•
Do not use standard concrete mixes where sulphates or similarly aggressive chemicals
are present in the groundwater.
•
Lift height (rate of rise): Determine the lift height (m), or rate of rise (m/h) for the
specific, concrete type used, to ensure that a design pressure (P max) of 15kN/m2 on the
tank does not get exceeded.
•
Vibration: The tank design assumes minimal compaction of the surrounding concrete.
Where necessary, this may be extended to include internal light vibration. Never use
deep revibration which will substantially increase the pressure on the tank, possibly
causing failure.
•
Impact of concrete on discharge: Under no circumstances should concrete be discharged
directly onto the tank.
5.8
Topsoil requirements
Clean native topsoil shall not contain rocks larger than 36mm on largest dimension.
5.9

A single run of 1.5mm² three core (two conductors plus earth conductor) steel wire
armoured (SWA) cable from the customer’s distribution cabinet to the tank unit socket
box.
•

•
Bond the cable armour properly to the main earth at the premises.
•
Never disconnect the power to the air pump. It is imperative that it be running 24 hours a
