(Please call for under house and above ground pricing may be cheaper depending on installation setup)

 

Step 1                                                  

          *BACK TO UNDERGROUND TANK MAIN PAGE*

Excavate your site as per your requirements (for one or multiple tanks)

 

Step 2

          *TO SLIMLINE TANKS MAIN PAGE*

Compact 50mm of fill material in base of excavation

 

Step 3

Lift the tank/s into hole and fill the tank with water.

(Please note that the lifting hooks are not rated and care needs to be taken if lifting at any height use slings around tank baffles)

Fit manhole cover (and also for drive way installs. Tanks support ring and riser)

Tape up around manhole to stop fill or concrete from getting into your tank 

 

Step 4

   CALL NOW (07) 5543 8814 7am-8pm QLD TIME!!!

Wash in another 50mm of fill material to fill cavities around the

support feet of the tank/s

 

Step 5

Connect up tank/s and plumbing required before placing and

Compacting layers of fill material around tank/s leave the tank/s peer cavities

(holes in middle of tank/s) void

 

Step 6a FOR DRIVE WAY INSTALLS

           *TO SLIMLINE TANKS MAIN PAGE*

If the driveway is slopping fill the tank/s peers with concrete and vibrate.

If the driveway is flat the cavities can be fill and vibrated when the overall drive

way is poured

Connect all inlets, overflow,pump and float electrical wiring before placing steel

ready for the overall driveway slab to be poured (see your engineer spec) 

 

Step 6b FOR YARD INSTALLS AND NON-TRAFFIC AREAS

   CALL NOW (07) 5543 8814 7am-8pm QLD TIME!!!

Connect all inlets, overflow, pump and float electrical wiring before placing and

Compacting the remainder of full material

(With yard kits you can use some above ground pumps but these pump will need a

Foot valve to prevent drafting/suction problems these pumps are less expensive and

do not require electrical wiring to the tank. Make sure to get a pump with dry water

runout protection)

With yard kits it is highly recommended to fill tank/s peers with concrete and vibrate.

 

Step 7a FOR YARD INSTALLS AND NON-TRAFFIC AREAS

         *BACK TO UNDERGROUND TANK MAIN PAGE*

Place 200mm of topsoil and turf and complete any remanding plumbing or wiring.

We recommend to install rain heads (leaf eaters) with mosquito proof mesh and

first flush diverters between the rain heads and tank/s

Remove tape and seal the manhole cover using flexible polyurethane sealant. 

 

Step 7b FOR DRIVE WAY INSTALLS

Complete any remanding plumbing or wiring. Pour, vibrate and finish driveway

Concrete to engineered specs. Install rain heads (leaf eaters) with mosquito proof mesh

and first flush diverters between the rain heads and tank/s.

Remove tape and seal the manhole cover using flexible polyurethane sealant. 

BEFORE USING ANY WATER OUT OF TANK/S ALLOW PLENTY

OF TIME FOR ALL CONCRETE TO SET

(ASK YOUR CONCRETER AS THIS CAN VARY DUE TO

WEATHER CONDITIONS).

IF TO BE USED UNDER DECK OR HOUSE THESE TANKS CAN SIT

ABOVE GROUND ON CRUSHERDUST OR CONCRETE.

Yard Installation(Kit):- INLET HOLE IS LIKE A STANDARD TANK AND IS EXCELLENT FOR YARD USE AND CUT’S OVERALL COST

Driveway Installation(Kit):- INLET HOLE COVER IS STEEL CONSTRUCTION FOR DRIVEWAY USE.

FAQ’s

Questions                                                  Answers

Why do UNDERGROUND tanks cost more?             If the tank is made correctly they must have a lot more plastic meaning thicker to support side and top pressure from the water, Ground and earth around the tank

 

Does the driver need more                                          Yes because our UNDERGROUND tanks have more plastic or weight (making them stronger)

help with an UNDERGROUND tank to a round        the driver will need more help at time of delivery to position your tank

water tank at time of delivery?                                             

             

What base do we need for our tank                            We recommend a minium of crusher dust mixed with cement powder and compacted

to sit on?                                                                     please remember that this type of tank is to back filled over and around so please remove rocks etc… and compact base so you have less earth or ground movement or sinking.
