Installation
Siting*
BS6297(1984) states that sewage treatment plant serving more than one building should be situated a minimum of 25m from any habitable buildings and as far away as possible. Some local authorities may permit them to be installed considerably closer.
For a single house installation, 15 metres is generally regarded as the minimum distance although approval and agreement should always be sought from the controlling authority at an early stage. The direction of the prevailing wind should also be taken into account when considering the siting of the tank.
The tank should not be situated close to a driveway or roadway, or anywhere there is a risk of it being subjected to additional superimposed loads.
Good access must be provided for the sludge emptying tanker to within approximately 30m and a maximum head lift of 5m must be taken into consideration.
Site levels
Be sure to survey the site and check levels and the fall on the drain carefully. The Balmoral Septic Tank, SBR and CAP are designed to cater for a maximum drain invert depth of 1.0 metre.
It should be noted that the air lift pumps within some of the Balmoral SBR models can be altered internally to raise the effluent discharge to a higher level than the inlet pipe.
