Installation Instructions
 
1. Excavate pit allowing for tank dimensions and at least 500mm to each side and 400 to 600mm to the surface. Ensure the base is level and compacted using a 100mm layer of sand. The pit should be benched and/or raked in line with safety regulations.

2. Assemble the modules as per the instructions. There are 4 sides and 3 braces for a standard-duty module and 4 sides and 4 braces for an extra-duty module. Any molding defect in the product should be noted and the part set aside for replacement.

3. Place a layer of geotextile fabric on the base and to the sides of the pit with enough overlap to cover the top once complete. The fabric should be overlapped at least 300mm at each seam.

4. Begin installation of the tank structure by placing the assembled modules on top and beside one another ensuring the 450mm side is in the upright position.

5. Use AUSDRAIN™ connector pins to create double and triple modules. There are 4 connector pins required to connect one module to another.

6. Connect outlet pipes to the tank by cutting a hole in the side of the module and inserting the pipe through. Large diameter pipes will need to butt up next to the tank modules. Use extra filter fabric to surround the pipe and tank together. Inspection points with end caps can be connected to the top of the tank using AUSDRAIN 150mm pipe connectors.

7. Surround the tank completely with the fabric and overlap where necessary. It is recommended not to leave the fabric exposed to sunlight for extended periods.

8. Back fill the tank with coarse washed river sand to the sides of the tank. The tank is now ready for gravel/sand layers and planting of vegetation.

9. Heavy construction traffic is not permitted over the tank at any time. Small excavators and bob cats on tracks are permitted over the tank once 400mm of cover has been placed over the top.

10. Once installed, section off the tank to prevent any possible construction traffic.
