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

 

 Electrical requirements 

Important 

 

Please ensure the electrical installation complies with all national regulations and 
requirements

 

Electrical installations must be carried out by a qualified and certified electrician.  

 

Please note different electrical requirements are dependant on the size of the Tricel 

Vitae system, read the following sections carefully.  

 

The customers’ minimum responsibility shall consist of: 

 

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. 

 

Cable protection via 10-amp MCB protected by (RCD), rated 230V, 30mA. 

 

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 
day, every day.
