This manual has been put together to explain the installation process of the ABS system as a guide only. Some sites may differ in access and slope which need to be taken into account when delivering and installing the system.
To ensure the ABS is installed in the position nominated by the Home Owner/ Builder, the location of the ABS should be marked out prior to excavation. The installer at this stage should have a copy of the approved site plans showing the location of the ABS as well as the required local authority approval.
ABS will vary depending on the size of the crane. To enable the ABS to be unloaded, a minimum width of 7m (may vary depending on crane truck) will be required at the hole. This distance allows for the width of the crane truck, the width of the tank itself, and clearance for safe and free manoeuvring of the ABS into the excavated hole.
Always ensure the installation location include the future landscaping provision allow for the diversion of stormwater and surface waters away from the system. The ABS comes with 3 different heights to accommodate invert levels as deep as 1270mm below ground level.
Ensure that sand or excavated material does not fall on the lid of the ABS as this will fall into the system through the manholes and clog the system and irrigation pump. Ensure that the backfill material is kept at least 100mm below the surface of the systems lid.
Inlet Outlet Lifting TRUCK ACCESS Hole Unloading of ABS via the back of the truck NOT SIDE. Ensure BACK of truck has clear level 6m wide access to the edge of the hole. 100mm Inlet REACH OF CRANE/ CRANE TRUCK To be determined by your crane/ crane truck operator.
2. Lower chains through TOP lifting holes provided in the lid of the ABS. 3. Loop chains through the lifting holes directly below on the inside wall of the ABS. 4. Steel reinforcing bars have been installed inside the concrete for lifting purposes. Only lift this tank from these holes.
1. Dig hole 3000mm square & (refer to value of A* in the table) mm deep. 2. Ensure inlet drainage has a 1/60 fall to the inlet of ABS. Risers are available if the tank needs to be installed deeper in the ground to maintain fall.
