• Designed to take pedestrian traffic only; if required to carry vehicular traffic, a structural engineer’s design is required
• Top of the tank must not finish any more than 500 mm below ground level
• Without a structural engineer’s design, tank must not be located adjacent to foundations, raised banks, patios or walls
• Pipe-falls should be a minimum of 2:100 in the direction of water-flow, i.e. rainwater pipe and service duct towards the tank and the overflow away from the tank
• Connect multiple tanks together using 4" drainage pipe
