Q:
In your quotation you write
'construction commensurate with a burial
depth of 2 metres in firm soil' …… What
does this mean exactly?
A:
We are informing you the burial depth can be
no more than the number of metres we
mention. In other words, the tank/chamber
cannot be buried any deeper than what has
been mentioned in our quotation. Certain
tanks can be buried deeper but in cases like
this, a heavier design will be recommended
to you and we will then change the burial
depth that would otherwise be quoted.
Q: How far
from the house do we have to stay when
installing our water cistern?
A:
We recommend a minimum of 1.5 metres from
the house foundation. Our tanks rely on the
support of the backfill and we recommend a
minimum of 1 metre for support.
Q: When
linking tanks together what is the distance
required between tanks?
A:
1 metre between tanks is recommended for
support for the tank walls.
Q: When we
are preparing the excavation what is
required in the bottom of the excavation?
A:
To minimize stress on a tank or a chamber it
should be placed on a flat and level base of
gravel or crushed stone, minimum 150 mm
thick. Soil conditions must be firm and
stable. Warranty will be void if these
conditions are not met.
Q: Do you
sell plastic tanks?
A:
No we are strictly a manufacturer of precast
concrete products.
Q: Do you
have other locations?
A:
We have only one location which is at RR#4
Langton, Ontario. |
