Unloading:
The GeoVault comes with chain hooks attached to the top of the vault.
Use extreme safety precautions when unloading and transporting the
GeoVault. The weight must be evenly
distributed between all chain hooks provided.
Caution should be used to avoid any sudden movement while unloading
and/or transporting the vault. Weight
is determined by vault and manifold size. Following
are general guidelines:
Vault
Pit Preparation/Placement:
The GeoVault is to be set on a level base consisting of 18” of
compacted gravel. Final grade should
be a minimum of 3” below the vault’s manhole cover to avoid surface water
from seeping directly into the vault. Concrete
Pour: Once
the GeoVault is correctly positioned in the vault pit, concrete (recommended
4,000 psi) is then poured into the vault form and screeded off the top of the
form. Sidewalls should be vibrated
to ensure complete concrete placement within the form.
For concrete requirements, reference table above. Sump
Pump Pit:
A sump pump pit is supplied with all vaults.
It is highly recommended that sump pumps be installed in all vaults
exposed to static water levels. |
