• Level Pad (+/‐ 10mm)
• Minimum thickness of pad is 150mm or 6 Inches
• Dimensions are outlined in the pad size/specification sheet below.
• Ensure adequate compaction of the sub soil to avoid subsidence for deep pads.
• The customer is required to place an exclusion zone of minimum 10mm Blue Metal/Stone (no clay or concrete) around the base of the tank after installation to prevent erosion and deter rodents from digging around the base.

If Site Access or the Pad Quality is not adequate, it may be necessary for our installation team to leave the tank and re‐schedule the installation (possibly weeks) until the problem is corrected. Unfortunately, this will incur additional charges over and above the specified cost (to cover wages and travel).

• Please ensure adequate access to the site for a small truck or 4WD and trailer, bearing in  mind soil and weather conditions.
• Access is to be available to within 10 metres of site
• If unable to meet these requirements please contact Tanclean- Rhino Water Tanks to make alternative arrangements. 

Attendance:  ™
• You are most welcome to attend on the day but it is not essential.  It is difficult to finalise a particular installation date in advance
   due  to the weather, freight and labour. 
Water: 
• The Customer is required to arrange water supply of a minimum of 35 - 40 % volume of tank capacity being built in terms of literes of water upon competation to stabilize the liner. This amount represents an average of a single tanker load of water for the smallest size of ourtank: RT-25. Please note that tank installation may have to be postponed and additional charges would be levied in case water is not made available immediately after installation. 
  Note: Rhino Water Tanks & Liners are suitable for the storage of water within a PH range of3-7, and a Temperature range of -6 Deg Cent. to 40 Deg. Cent. 
  
Payment:
• A Tax Invoice will be forwarded upon notification by the installation team of PracticalCompletion. Payment towards supply has to be made against Proforma Invoice andinstallation charges payment immediately on successful erection and commissioning. (unless otherwise arranged and approved by Tanclean management in writing).

Suggested Pad Levelling Technique 
With a spirit level on top of a screed, level out the sand or crusher dust using a temporary pole in the centre of the pad as a pivot point. 

Most sites will fall into 3 main categories. 
1. Level existing site therefore Pad preparation is reasonably straight forward. 

 

 

2. Slightly sloping site therefore Pad needs to compensate slope to ensure it is level. 

3. Site has been cut in to create level base therefore we recommend a drain to be dug into the slope above the pad to allow water runoff to be diverted around the tank when it rains.

Ring Beam Preparation

All commercial water storage tanks require construction on a concrete ring beam footing. It is imperative for the client to ensure foundations and civil works for the site are adequate. Ring beam design is dependent on tank size and location. Appropriate design specification drawings are supplied by Rhino at the time of order.

 

Installation

Rhino Water Tanks has a network of specially trained tank installers across Australia. Our installers focus on quality and excellent service to ensure the job is manufactured, supplied and installed to the customer's specific requirements.

All Rhino tanks are transported to site in flat pack form and then assembled on site. This allows us to position the fittings to the customer's individual requirements and gives us the ability to install tanks on sites with reduced accessibility. Most of our commercial tanks are assembled with the use of cranes as demonstrated in these photos.
