COMMERCIAL INSTALL
The requirements for commercial installations are greatly varied.
Client & site specific requirements will always need to be considered in the planning of the project.
Our unique knowledge of the water tank industry allows Steelfab to offer project specific systems that allow the client to achieve their desired project outcomes.
DOMESTIC INSTALL
It is the Purchaser’s responsibility to...
▪ Check with local shires, councils or governing bodies in relation to relevant building licences and permits regarding Steelfab water tanks.
▪ Provide a sand pad foundation of not less than 100mm thickness (150mm if a scour drain is fitted) the surrounding area of the tank site. The diameter of the sand pad must be 2 metres greater in diameter than the tank diameter.
▪ Ensure that the sand pad is flat and level across the whole surface area and free of any foreign objects.
▪ Ensure that the sand pad is screeded and free of any vehicle or other indentations. Compaction is not necessary.
▪ Determine that the foundation is sufficiently drained of moisture that would impede the proper installation of the tank.
▪ Provide a suitable drainage system if water run-off from a surrounding area is likely to cause erosion of the foundation.
▪ Supply maps and or directions to the tank site if it is difficult to find or not in the street directory.
▪ Provide clear access for the delivery vehicle & trailer to within 10 metres of the tank site.
▪ Restrain and keep clear of the work area, all animals which may be considered a danger or a hindrance to the installers.
▪ Supply a minimum of 100mm of water into the tank on the installation day.
▪ Spread blue metal around the base of the tank to avoid erosion of the sand pad caused by water run off.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
▪ The Tank Liner sits directly on the sand pad therefore it is essential that the sand pad be constructed of pure, clean filtered river sand or pure, clean filtered yellow brickies sand - (not fill sand).
▪ If contractors are preparing the sand pad, please give them a copy of this information.
▪ All tank inlets and outlets will be placed at the installers discretion unless otherwise notified. If a fire fighting camlock is to be fitted, it will be positioned at 1/3 of the tank wall height measured from the base of the tank wall, unless otherwise instructed.
▪ If the tank pad foundation is incomplete or unsatisfactory for the tank erection, rectification by the installation contractor may be made and charged by them to the purchaser at their current hourly rate. If the tank is unable to be installed, a mobilisation/demobilisation cost will be charged to the purchaser by the contractor at their current hourly rate.
