Excavate a hole of suitable dimensions with a hat bottom, leaving a space of at least 20/30 cm around the tank.ln the presence of heavy soil (e.g. clayey subsoil and/or groundwater) the distance must be at least 50 cm. Spread a 15/20 cm deep layer of 2/6 washed gravel on the bottom of the excavation to allow the tank to rest on a uniform and level base. Excavated material must not be used as backfill.

TRAFFIC4.1 LIGHT TRAFFIC - CLASS B125-EN124/95 - MAX 12.5 TONS To render the site suitable for the transit of light vehicles, a self-supporting reinforced concrete slab, designed in relation to the load, must be constructed. The perimeter of the slab must be larger than the excavation to prevent the weight of the slab from bearing on the tank itself. It is also recommended that you construct a concrete slab (for example 15/20 cm in height" at the bottom of the excavation, over which a 10 cm thick layer of 2/6 washed gravel must be spread to fill in the voids between the corrugations in the base...
