Delivery Considerations


1. We require clear drivable access though roads,     gates, crossings, roundabouts and trees to and
    at your property.
2. If clear access to the site is not available for the     delivery vehicle, the tank will be unloaded and
    left at the point where clear access terminates.
3. Delivery responsibilities cease when the tank is     placed on the site where clear access permits.
4. Delivery drivers will not roll tanks further than the     unload point (where clear access ends).
5. Securing of the tank after it has been unloaded and
    prior to its installation is the customer’s responsibility.
6. Tank delivery drivers will not assist in the placement of
    the tank onto bases, concrete slabs or stands.
7. Weather permitting (wind/rain).

Rainwater Tank Installation Guide

1. The tank stand (base) must be stable, firm, flat,    
    compacted and free from any rocks, stones or sharp
    objects.
2. The tank stand (base) must be larger than the tank
    diameter and able to fully support the tank.
3. If sand, crusher dust, or other consolidated fill is used
    as the stand (base), it is to be a minimum of 75mm in
    thickness and a supporting wall is to be used around it
    to prevent erosion.
4. Tank stand (base) must be able to safely support the     tank when full of water, bearing in mind water weighs
    1kg per litre.
5. A reinforced concrete stand (base) is ideal but must     also be greater than the diameter of the tank.
6. The overflow of the tank must be piped at least
    2 metres clear of the tank to avoid undermining
    of the tank stand (base).
7. All corstrip must be removed from the tank
    after installation.
