TANK INSTALLATION - IN GROUND
5.1 Introduction
All installation procedures should be carried out observing the requirements of the Health and Safety at
Work Act and involve good building practice.
During the course of installation the following will be required:
-
Normal construction equipment and plant
-
Concrete for base. This MUST be designed to support the unit for normal operation.
-
Calculate the amount of backfill required. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. Lean mix or dry mix
concrete must be used to backfill the excavation. However, prevailing local ground condition
may override this requirement. If wet mix concrete is to be used, a qualified civil engineer
must be consulted and the pour cannot take place in a single operation. Contact WPL for
further information
-
Adequate supply of water to fill unit
-
Pumping equipment where necessary.
N.B. Installing in an excavation that allows water to enter (i.e. is not dry) requires special advice.
Water table and flood conditions are typical examples that will cause problems during
installation. It may also affect the operation of the plant. Again, specialist advice must be taken
in these conditions.
5.2 Installation of Unit
Step 1 Excavate to tank dimensions (see GA Drawings) with minimum of 150mm clearance all
round and
under base of unit. Allow adequate clearance for all pipes and any other connectors
to the unit.
