The EcoGeoX-Tank System provides the most efficient and versatile method of underground stormwater storage available today. It's an ideal way to convert stormwater ponds to useable space, and EcoGeoX-Tank is a more efficient, space saving alternative for underground stormwater detention, infiltration, and recycling systems.

ItemNo: TR-6845 Size: 680x410x450mm Material: Recycle material Compression Strength: 25-35Tons/m2 Tanks: Per unit square meter include 3-7 pcs Void Ratio: 95% |
Always install upright for Maximum strength and for Warranty. Evenly distribute and connect the small panels into large panel. Next, working from one end to the other, attach a second large plate on the opposite side of the first. Once the top and bottom large plates are attached, complete the sides of the tank module.

|
|
Step 1 Install large pegs of one small plate into holes of one side plate. |
Step 2 Install large pegs of the second,third, and end small plates into holes of the side plate. |
Step 3 Place and align the second side plate on top of the small plates. |
 |
|
 |
|
Step 4 Rotate the tank such that the side plates are now on the sides and the top and bottom are open. |
Step 5 Place and align a large plate with pegs of the vertical small plates.Use hammer to tap the large plate into place. |
Step 6 Turn the tank upside down.place and align the second plate with the pegs of vertival small plates.Use hammer to tap the large plate into place. |
To build a DOUBLE storm storage module unit (or even larger), follow the directions below, starting at "Assembly Instructions:" using the top of the existing unit as the large plate. Completed tank modules should be staged as close to the installation area as possibie.

 |
 |
|
Step A Repeat Step 1 to first assembly each stormwater storage module unit for further tanks assembly. |
Step B Tum the tank upside down, align a second tank(with one open end)over a complete tank for double tank assembly. |
Step C Use Multiple Tank Assembly Steps A and B for Triple,Quad and pent tank assemblies. Check for full pin insertion and re-tap if necessary. |
|
Step 1 |
Excavate |
The excavation should allow for the tank dimensions, sufficient backfill material and compaction equipment required during backfilling. |
|
Step 2 |
Prepare Base | Base material should be 95% compactable material such as washed river sand or stone, with no clay or silt particles to ensure high permeability. Place base material and spread to 100mm depth, and compact. |
|
Step 3 |
Place Geotextile to Wrap Tanks | For most applications, the geotextile should be 200g/sqm of non-woven needle-punched material. Lay the Geotextile into the excavation, over-lapping edges by 300mm or as specified by the manufacturer or engineer. Ensure enough fabric on the ends to wrap over the tank modules. |
| Step 4 | Install Rain Tanks | Place the EcoGeoX-Tanks units into the excavation , filling in the field as you go. Minor gaps (< 5mm ) between adjacent units or variations in height ( < 5mm) are acceptable. NOTE : The top of the EcoGeoX-Tanks should always be one large panel. The edges of any panel should never be seen on top. |
| Step 5 | Install Inspection / Maintenance Ports | Typically made from PVC pipe, these provide vertical access into the system. They should be long enough to sit on the bottom of the EcoGeoX-Tank, rising to the finished surface where they are capped. Maintenance Ports: Typically these are larger diameter (>150mm) solid pipes with large notches cut into the bottom installed to back flush the system. |
| Step 6 | Wrap Tank in Geotextile | Wrap Geotextile placed in Step 3 over the EcoGeoX-Tanks units, creating a fabric envelope around the EcoGeoX-Tanks, completely sealing the system to keep backfill materials out of the system. Use duct tape to temporarily secure overlaps. |
|
Step 7 |
Connect Inlet / Outlet Pipes | Pipe connections can be made anywhere on the top of the EcoGeoX-Tanks Tank by simply butting the pipe to the EcoGeoX-Tanks Tank. Inlet and Outlet pipes greater then 450mm in diameter do not need to penetrate into the structure of the EcoGeoX-Tanks Tank, but may simply butt against the top of the unit. |
|
Step 8 |
Backfill Sides | Using compactable material such as washed river sand or stone, backfill the wrapped EcoGeoX-Tanks Tank System evenly on all sides to prevent units from shoving. Vibration from compactor will help eliminate minor gaps between EcoGeoX-Tanks Tank units. Backfill materials contatining clay should never be used. |
| Step 9 | Backfill Top | When backfill reaches the top of the EcoGeoX-Tanks Tank units, begin covering the structure with backfill material. Spread material using a lightweight powered mechanical compactor or roller. Cover Required an independant compaction test verifying 95% compaction must be obtained. |
• Installing the Maintenance System
To install the PCV Pipe, remove the center small plate and cut the top large plate between the remalning interior small plates. Before inserting the port into the Tank, install an anti-scour plate in the bottom of the Tank to prevent disturbance of the base materials. Maintenance ports should be capped at the surface.In landscaped areas, this may be accomplished with a simple pipe cap or plasticvalve box. In paved areas, metal Tidsare moreappropriate.
• Maintenance Intervals
Maintenance Schedules for the EcoGeoX Tank System are a function of the contributing area and the type of pre-treatment specified. A standard maintenanceschedule may include quarterly inspections through the first year of use, with yearly inspections thereafter.Flushing should be performed if sediment should the lesser of 6" or 15% of the system height.
