     7.2 Quick installation guidelines: A dry site is one where the water table never rises higher than the base of the Tricel Vento unit and the ground is free draining. A wet site is one where the water table may rise higher than the base of the Tricel Vento unit or where the soil does not allow water to drain away at the same rate.

      Ensure gravel/dry mix are clean and contains no large materials   Lift tank into position and align as required for connecting pipe work, access shafts etc.   Ensure that each tank is 100% level, and that inlet/outlets are in the correct orientations.
  • Page 10 Tricel Vento should be adequately drained, to permanently remove water from the proximity of the tank. The Tricel Vento system is not suitable to be used in water logged sites, where the water level may rise above the outlet level.
  • Page 11 7.3.4 Excavation size: Suitably sized equipment will be required to excavate the hole and to lift the system into place. Installation depends on on-site conditions, water, slopes, location etc. Excavation should be planned with due regard to Health and Safety requirements, and should be either shored or battered back to a “safe” angle. The excavation should allow a minimum 200mm clearance between the tank and the excavation wall or face of shoring.

    7.6 Plinth and backfill specifications: 7.6.1 Dry mix backfill specification: Dry mix concrete is specified 200kg cement mixed with 1m³ sand. Note: Standard concrete mixes should not be used, where sulphates or similar 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/m 2 on the tank is not exceeded.
