Harvesting Tank - Embedded Tank Installation Instructions. Tank installation is to undertaken as follows, 1 – Ensure the tank is sealed from foreign debris entering during installation. 2 – To avoid any lateral forces being exerted upon the tank it should be located outside of a 45 degree angle of the base of any nearby foundations. 3 – Ideally the tank should be within 12 metres of the harvesting pump station. 4 – The excavation works should allow for a 200mm bed of lean mix concrete with one layer of embedded A98 steel mesh. 5 – Steel loops (4 off) should be hooked into the A98 mesh and be proud of the tanks base 1/3rd in from either end, this will provide a fixing point for the tank restraining straps. 6 – 150mm of sloppy weak mix cement should be poured directly on top of the base slab just prior to installation. 7 – The tank should be carefully lowered into the hole and gently bedded onto the weak cement slurry mix. 8 – Fixation straps should be fixed to the four (4) steel hooks and loosely tensioned. 9 – Fill the tank 2/3rdfull with water, tension the restraining straps and backfill with lean mix concrete, compact each 300mm layer gently by hand. Ensure the concrete infill is compacted evenly on all sides. 10 - Fill the tank to the overflow level and continue to backfill and compact in an even manner upto the overflow level. 11 – Connect the overflow run off pipe to the 110mm pvc connection. 12 – Extend the 110mm overflow in solid plastic to the energy probe & onwards to soak away. 13 – Install the tank access lid and cover. 14 – Extend 50mm electrical / sensor duct c/w drawstring from tank to pump station. 15 – Install 110mm service duct from tank to pump station 16 - Backfill the remaining area with top soil. 15 – Leave the water in the tank until commissioning.
