What is the type of foundation you are constructing for your building? Since you won't be needing the soak away pit any longer fill it up with hard core and sand. Then compact very well as your engineer suggested. Chichilas: |

Good afternoon Sir michlins... Please am I to pay for installers or it's the job of the welder? Cos this man is telling me that he is not the one that will install it |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by michlins(m): 1:53pm On Aug 18, 2023 |
redgem:honestly there's no way I can answer this question because I don't know what you agreed upon. If he did a separate foundation casting for the tank stand,he will by default be the one that will install as he doesn't have a choice. But if it happens that he did it on ground,both of you will have to find a common ground if you didn't tell him prior that he will have to install 4 Likes |

michlins: He isn't casting from the ground, he is doing it from his workshop... Before, he said he isn't the one installing but will do it for me and I clearly told him that it's not how it's done and people I've seen are the ones constructing and also installing... Now he is saying that I will get an installer. |

redgem:if he's doing it away from site, you need to find common ground with him but you will have to part with something. These things were supposed to be discussed from get go. 1 Like |

michlins:I always thought tank stands are usually built from ground up on site by the welder. I've never heard of one being built away from site, and then the client being expected to transport the stand to site and getting someone else to install...isn't that a recipe for disaster someday in the future? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by twinskenny(m): 5:49pm On Aug 18, 2023 |
Rany4all: Exactly… the one who did the construction should be the one to install.. if anything should happen the blame will now start |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by michlins(m): 5:58pm On Aug 18, 2023 |
Rany4all:depends on the height. And the size. Some are too small that they can be made and transported to site. In some towns I have visited, they make tank stand and sample for sale 1 Like |

Chichilas: I want to assume there's a structural design for this. There are so many alternatives assuming this wasn't factored into the design. Please work with a design engineer on this. As I wont be held liable. From my experiences related to such cases, one or more of the following have been applied at one point or the other. OPTION 1: Evacuate the pit, then break the floor and construct either a mono pile of 450mm(18 inches) or group pile depending on the load at that column (pillar) inside the pit then cast the column from there upwards and connect the nearest columns with a beam of 450mm to 600mm (this can be called chaining by the laymen) then fill the pit with sharp sand. The piles can be drilled using manual borehole drillers and a pipe as a casing. OPTION 2: (this should be cheaper) Just like option 1, instead of a pile, you can cast the base inside the pit after breaking the floor then raise the column from there. Please note that this column should be wider say 450mm x 450mm if the depth is UpTo 2m (almost 7ft) and well reinforced with rings not more than 150mm (6inches) spacing for the column. At the ground level you can use a 450mm height beam to join(chain) all closest columns (pillars) with 300mm spacing for the beams. OPTION 3: Firstly demolish the slab of the pit and fill with sharp sand while compacting properly or naturally(which would take 1 to 2 raining seasons say 2 years) with the aid of water or rainfall then fill up with boulders at the top 900mm to 1m (3ft to 4ft) from the natural ground level. OPTION 4: filling entirely with well placed and compacted granite boulders (called hardcore). OPTION 5: Casting a base that would cover the entire area of the pit which must be designed to avoid failure after pit has been sand filled OPTION 6: Run an inverted "T beam" with a almost a meter width(3ft) in base of at least 900mm to 1200mm (3ft to 4ft) height along that axis. This would help spread the load during settlement. Spacing of rings shouldn't exceed 300mm 3 Likes 1 Share |
