Step-by-Step Guide to Installing a Modular Rainwater Harvesting System

Step-by-Step Guide to Installing a Modular Rainwater Harvesting System

Installing a modular rainwater harvesting system is challenging but exciting as well. For the last many years, we have been manufacturing and installing rainwater harvesting systems at our clients’ sites. From highways to commercial buildings, we have used modular technologies and installed rainwater harvesting systems. By installing every system, we are making sincere efforts to combat water scarcity and develop a greener tomorrow.

Let’s consider the following steps to understand how we install the system

Steps to install rainwater harvesting system

Site Marking

We start the process by accurately marketing the designated area for installing the rainwater harvesting system. By taking the measurements, we ensure that the layout aligns with the planned design. We define boundaries for excavation and position for components so we can collect water precisely.

Excavation

Once we are done with site marking, we start digging the market area to the required depth and dimensions for the system. We use heavy machinery to remove soil and prepare the ground so we can proceed with further construction.

Soling

We lay a compacted layer of stones or gravel at the base of the excavation. Through this foundation layer, it gets easy to distribute the load of the rainwater system. As a result, sinking or shifting the system over time can be prevented by soling. This process helps in drainage and ensures that water is not stored beneath the structure.

PCC (Plain Cement Concrete)

After soling, we pour a layer of plain cement concrete over the soling and create a smooth, strong, and level base. By building this concrete foundation, we provide structural support for the components of the system including storage tanks and chambers. This protects the components from shifting due to soil movements.

Assembling of Boxes

While installing the system, we proceed with assembling the modular boxes. We also manufacture our boxes from recycled plastics and configure the boxes according to the system’s design. The proper alignment and connection of these boxes are crucial for efficient water storage and distribution.

Laying of Geotextile & Liner

By mixing the soil with the system components, we place geotextile fabric over the excavation. After that, we lay a waterproof liner to ensure no water escapes from the tanks or system. It also offers reinforcement and filtration to prevent the entry of contaminants into the stored rainwater.

Tank Installation

Our team of engineers and workers carefully installed the tank into the prepared site. With these tanks, we will store the collected rainwater for future use. While installing the system, we ensure they are stable and aligned with inlet and outlet pipes, allowing for seamless water collection and distribution.

Tank Wrapping

Once we positioned the tanks in place, we wrapped them with protective materials such as geotextile. With this wrapping, we shield the tanks from external forces, including soil pressure and temperature variations. Moreover, we ensure the proper functionality of the tanks over time.

Installation of FRP Chamber

A Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) chamber is installed to handle filtration or manage overflow. This chamber is durable and resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for long-term use.

With us, you will find the properly designed process to install the system in place. Contact our engineering team if you need further information about installing a modular rainwater harvesting system in your area.
