Xylem IMCPFIBRGL R01 Fiberglass Basin - Manual (Page 3)

2: PURPOSE
The purpose of this guide is to provide a brief reference
to the recommended methods and procedures for
installing CentriPro underground sump and sewage
basins to ensure that damage or premature failure of the
basin do not occur.
Studies conducted by both environmental regulatory
agencies and trade organizations demonstrate that
the most significant source of leaks and failures in
underground storage systems is improper handling and
installation. Proper handling and installation requires
practical experience combined with strict adherence to
proven methods and procedures.
This guide is not intended to serve as a basic instructional
manual. The installation of our sump and sewage basins
is a specialized skill, and is assumed that the individuals
who install our products and refer to this guide will have
basic understanding of such procedures as excavating,
backfilling, pipe fitting, and electrical work. No amount
of written instruction by a manufacture or a regulatory
agency will convert an inexperienced, under-supervised
laborer into a skilled, experienced mechanic. The
ability to recognize and correctly respond to abnormal
conditions during a basin installation requires field
experience as well as mechanical aptitude.
2: PURPOSE
In addition to proper system engineering and competent
manufacturing, the use of basin installers who have both
practical experience and integrity to assist that the basin
be installed properly constitutes the greatest protection
from catastrophic basin failure and liability exposure.
3: DISCLAIMER
Every reasonable effort has been put forth by CentriPro
and its agents to ensure the accuracy and reliability
on the information contained in this reference guide.
However, neither CentriPro, its agents, nor its consultant
make any representation, warranty, or guarantee in
connection with the publication of these recommended
methods and procedures. CentriPro hereby disclaims any
liability for loss or damage resulting from their use; for
the violation of any federal, state, county, or municipal
regulations with which these recommended methods and
procedures may conflict; or for the infringement of any
patent resulting from the use of recommended methods
and procedures.
4: MATERIAL HANDLING
GENERAL HANDLING
Although the exterior surfaces of our fiberglass reinforced
plastic (FRP) sump and sewage basins are designed,
to withstand normal handling, they can be damaged
during transportation and installation. Basins must not
be dropped, dragged, or handled with sharp objects and
with the exception of the minimal movement involved in
a visual inspection, should not be rolled.
If the basin or its shell is damaged, installation should
be suspended until CentriPro or its agent can make a
determination of the extent of damage. Any repairs must
be first authorized in writing by CentriPro and than be
done in accordance with CentriPro instructions.
UNLOADING, LIFTING AND LOWERING
The proper way of moving a basin is by lifting it, using
chains or cables with the optional lifting lugs (not more
than 30* included angle) or by using a non-marring sling
around the basin. Before any attempt is made to move a
basin, it should be established that all of the equipment
and accessories have sufficient capacity and reach to lift
and lower the basins without dragging and/or dropping.
Basins should be maneuvered with guide ropes attached
to the sides.
Under NO, circumstances are the use of
chains or cables around the basin shell
permitted.
STORAGE
Basins should be stored in a secure, controlled area
where the potential for accidental damage or vandalism
will be minimized. The storage area should be free from
sharp objects, rocks and any other foreign solutions or
materials that could cause damage to the basins. Chock
