Construction of soak away and septic tank

jiday4:


Great work ma , and kudos .

Pls what's the size of the soakaway plus the septic tank and numbers of materials used eg blocks ,iron etc
Thanks

Aforxzy:
The size of the septic/ soak away is 4.625mx 3.25m x 3m deep.

The slab, beams and columns were designed to support vehicular load. So we made the slab 200mm thick while the perimeter and internal beams were 450mm deep.

Various sizes of iron rods were used from Y10mm for the links, Y12mm for the slab and beams and Y16mm for the beams and columns. In total, 42 lenghts of steel were used.

The block were 9inches and about 500 nos were used.

Please note that the size of your septic/soak away should depend on the projected number of users or occupants of the building.

Thank you so much, very detail and exactly what I need.
