This presentation will discuss aspects and
methods for troubleshooting tanks of various
materials. It will also discuss troubleshooting the
performance of tanks, such as: system backing up
into the home, then there could be clogging due
to various factors: roots, poor slope on inlet
piping, bends, or possibly the pipe has settled,
field inspection methods will be discussed to
check these possibilities. Other issues to review:
Proper pumping intervals, sludge and scum
depths, surface drainage, tank siting/location,
backfill settlement, tank settlement. Observations
of a proper and improper functioning tank: odors,
scum buildup, or conversely lack of a proper scum
layer, dead tanks, and wastewater color (strength
observation).
The instructors for this class are Dennis Hallahan with Infiltrator and Claude Goguen with the National Precast Concrete Association.
