– UST bury depth: Refer “File Name: Installation instruction – PCR & PDR Access Cover”. Tank hole
depth (tank manway to grade level distance) to design within 1200mm to 1400mm.

• Underground water table
Provision 20% -25% higher than annual average water level (raining season). Ensure OCH
riser is always 20mm higher than the estimated highest water level at design stage.
Example: Average underground water table is -600mm, estimate highest water table
during raining season to be -600mm x (-80%) = - 480mm (20%).

• Fuel Systems installer MUST verify

Tank bury depth with PCC (Notify L2 if tank bury depth is beyond 1400mm immediately).
Hot air welding work is required to raise the OCH riser to the highest point – 50mm below
the PCR manway cover bottom)
Understand underground water level control strategy during project kickoff meeting,
adjust OCH sump riser height accordingly.

 Installation: Tank Chambers
• All Models:
– Final Backfilling:
• Use only correct back fill
o Well-rounded pea gravel
―3mm to 20mm
o Crushed rock ( Recommend )
―3mm to 16mm
o Clean washed sand ( Not recommend for high
underground water table cases)

7
 Pre-Backfilling Requirements

• Geotextile Filter Fabric

– Install filter fabric between the backfill and adjacent unstable
soil, bogs, swampy areas, or landfills to prevent the backfill from
migrating and thus diminishing the support of tank or paving

– If dis-similar backfill materials, such as sand, pea gravel, are

used in same excavation, separate them with filter fabric to
prevent finer sand particles from migrating into voids between
pea gravel

 Backfill Compaction

• The backfill should be placed in layers, or lifts, that are brought up evenly. Each lift or
layer should be approx. 30cm of crushed rock/stone or 25cm of sand. Each lift
should be thoroughly compacted prior to the placement of the next layer.
• During the backfilling, check for voids underneath the chambers. If the backfill
material appears loose in these areas, then the compaction is not adequate, and the
compaction process shall be continued.

• Tools and Equipment Needed: PCR90 and PCR106
– Access cover and mounting frame
– Access Cover Skirt (sold separately)
– Single-component polyurethane sealant for bonding
skirt to frame (SoudaFlex 40FC needed)
– Two-part polyurethane sealant (example: CM200PF)
– Packing material or clean sand
– Nitrile gloves, applicator gun, 80/20 grit abrasive
paper, and approved cleaning solvent

⚫ Remove the protective, and place

the cover on a clean, level surface.
⚫ Remove the cover from the frame.
⚫ Abrade and clean the areas that
will be bonded with Acetone.
⚫ Use SoudaFlex® 40FC bonding
agent to attach the frame to the
skirt. Make sure the skirt fully
engages the inner lip of the frame.
⚫ Allow the skirt and frame to bond
fully before continuing. (24 hours)

• Installation: Composite Access Cover:
⚫ Place the skirt on top of the backfill, and
Prepare the area take account of how deep the frame is
buried and the desired finished surface
level.
⚫ Allow a minimum of 56 mm (2 ¼ inches)
clearance between the bottom face of
the access cover and the top face of the
tank chamber lid.
⚫ Allow a minimum of 56 mm clearance
between the bottom of the skirt and the
wider extending section of the tank
chamber to allow for tank movement.
⚫ Backfill around the area of the skirt to
secure its position.

• CM200PF preparation sequence

The sealant must be kept warm

until just prior to installation,
keep it in a heated area at
approximately 20 Deg.C. Do not
install the sealant in the rain or if
rain is expected in the next 24
hours

It is essential that parts A and B are

properly mixed. The two part cold poured
sealant consist of one large tin pack A
and one small tin pack B. The combined
contents of pack A and B is 1 gallon so
repeat twice to get the two gallons
20

• CM200PF preparation sequence
Use the wooden stir stick
provided with the sealant, stir
content of pack B
Stir complete the contents
of Pack B into the tin
containing pack A to give a
combined content of 1
gallon
Installation: Covers
Mix contents together for a full 5 minutes
using a slow speed electric drill (400-500
rpm) with a low viscosity mixing paddle
until a completely homogeneous mix is
obtained, mixing is made easier if pack B
is added in two stages
