4. Installation
After the upper section has been set to its final elevation and
slope, it is important to note the following:
• Cobble stone / pavers installation
In the case that the upper section and cover will be installed
in a stone / paver surface, it is important that the top of the
upper section is installed approx 2 cm higher than that of the
pavers. When the cobble stones are compacted the upper
section (with the cast iron manhole cover installed and bolted
tight) should also be compacted until it is level with the
surrounding stones
• Installation in traffic areas
In the case that the upper section and cover will be installed
in a surface which is to handle Class D (40.0 metric ton load
classes), a 18cm thick, 2m x 2m B25 concrete load distribution
plate must be poured around the upper section. The concrete
support plate should be steel re-enforced and comply
with any local regulations. A drawing of this load support plate
is available from KESSEL upon request.
• Others
In some instances it may be required that the lower section
of the upper section (in which the cast iron manhole is installed)
be sawed off in order to obtain the correct installation
depth. This cut should be made as evenly as possible and
any remaining loose edges should be filed away (deburring).
The included manhole cover removal key as well as the
User´s Manual for the pumping system should be stored in
a protected dry area in the vicinity of the control unit.
