Phase 1: Raising The Arcs; Preparing The Site; Digging Holes - PIC-PLAST SOLARIG Alpine 135 Installation Manual

Phase 1: Raising the Arcs

This phase consists of site preparation, digging holes, constructing the arcs on the ground,
and raising them into position.

Preparing the Site

The dimensions of the tunnel are 15m X 9.04m.
The Alpine-135 model kit requires a cleared space of roughly 19m by 12m.
1. Make sure the planned tunnel area is clear of hazardous objects.
2. Make sure the area planned for the tunnel is level. The maximum permitted incline
is 2% (20cm in height per 10m length).
3. Make sure there is water drainage out of the tunnel.
4. Determine wind direction and place the structure so that the wind will blow at a 45
angle.
5. Inspect the figures and instructions before starting measurements and make sure
the instructions are clear.
6. Make sure you have the tools required for measurement and labelling, listed in the
Required Tools and Equipment

Digging Holes

1. Examine Figure 1. Set out marking stakes at points A, B, C, and D. You will leave
these stakes in place during the entire construction process.
2. Use spray paint to mark the outline of each hole to be dug.
3. Dig 10 holes.
