NEW Septic Tank Access Saddle

Transcription

1 NEW Septic Tank Access Saddle The superior lightweight alternative to the traditional concrete riser weighs only 22kgs and tested to withstand 1.5 tonnes (15Kn) Weight for weight stronger than concrete A concept of Access Septic Products Adelaide. Developed and manufactured by BioSeptic Sydney Septic tank access saddle The new septic tank access saddle makes it easy to find, open and access septic tanks to pump out the contents and quickly re seal the cover. The covers are gas tight to contain odours. The problem To function properly and prevent costly repairs, septic tanks require regular maintenance including periodic desludging by a pump out truck. In South Australia, Victoria and Queensland, many septic tanks are completely buried underground, making access for maintenance difficult. Without good access, or knowledge of the septic tank s location, regular maintenance is often not conducted and it is easy for the tank to allow untreated sewage into the disposal area. A buried septic tank difficult to locate and must be dug up each time for desludging

2 The solution The septic tank access saddle provides easy access to the septic tank. It fits over the septic tank and raises the access cover to ground level, so that the tank is fully accessible. Once the new saddle is installed there will never be a need to dig up the tank ever again! Made tough The septic tank access saddle, and associated sealing ring and lockable cover are made from composite resin a composition of fibre glass and fillers formed under great pressure and heat. This makes the saddle and cover stronger than steel (weight for weight), meaning it will withstand a lifetime of use. The composite resin construction also ensures the access cover is light enough to lift with one hand. Weighing only nine kilograms, the cover complies with Work Health and Safety guidelines by allowing a single worker to easily lift and remove the access cover to inspect the tank. The cover is secured by three stainless steel bolts and cannot be removed without a socket spanner, making it very safe for children. The access saddle can withstand superimposed loads of more than 1.5 tonnes. The saddle will withstand a lifetime of use. This cover has been in a McDonald s car park since 2009 and it shows no signs of cracks, breaks, chips, or other damaging wear and tear. Research, development and accreditation BioSeptic developed the access saddle with Access Septic Products, an Adelaide based septic product specialist company. Together, we have conducted extensive research and development including 18 months of design and rigorous testing to bring the access saddle to market. On 29 January 2017, SAI Global provided accreditation for the saddle as an accessory to horizontal axis septic tanks. The saddle is approved by SA Health with approval number WWP P0002. Australian Standards The septic tank access saddle enables the tank to meet Australian Standard AS/NZS (relating to the design, performance and testing of septic tanks), which requires that all septic tanks have access openings that allow for regular desludging of the tank.

3 Simple and easy installation A full set of instructions is provided with every saddle. Installation can be completed in 15 minutes and there is no need for trucks, excavators or cranes, as the saddle only weighs 22 kilograms. Step 1: Place the saddle in position, ensure it is level and mark the outline Step 2: Remove the concrete covers, apply sealer and place the saddle in position.

4 Step 3: Seal the extension riser to the saddle and bolt the cover into place. It s that easy! Summary: BioSeptic s septic tank access saddle provides easy access to a septic tank to make tank desludging a quick and simple operation saving time and money. It raises the tank access cover to ground level. Once the new saddle is installed, there is never a need to dig up the tank ever again!

Dear Sir BioSeptic Pty Ltd asked SAI Global to assess a range of composite fiberglass access cover and riser assemblies manufactured for them to fit standard sized, cylindrical, horizontal axis septic tanks. (Tank diameter approximately 1525mm +/ 25mm). These assemblies have been tested fitted to a septic tank for watertightness (App.G of AS/NZS1546.1) following sealing according to the Bioseptic Installation Guide, with no leakage occurring. They have also been load tested (App. K of AS/NZS1546.1) with no deformation or damage when the load was raised to 3 times the required load. The Bioseptic site was audited in January, and their batch testing process for the covers and risers inspected and approved. These risers and access covers have been listed on the Bioseptic licence as an accessory for suitably sized cylindrical horizontal axis concrete septic tanks.
