Our catch basin and sand trap installations are very similar to trench drain installations; however, there are a few additional steps to ensure the process runs smoothly. Let’s go through them step by step

1. Determine the location and height of the outlet before beginning the installation. It is important to ensure that the distance between the basin outlet and the connecting pipe allows for a level connection. This may require some adjustment during installation, as described in Step 3.
2. Excavate a hole for the basin that is approximately 2–3 inches wider than the basin itself and 3–4 inches deeper. This extra space allows room for the base layer and the surrounding backfill material. The filler material can be concrete, sand, clay, or another suitable material depending on your installation requirements.
3. Add 2–3 inches of your chosen base material to the bottom of the excavated hole. Place the catch basin on this base and adjust it as needed to achieve the correct surface height and ensure the outlet aligns properly with the pipe connection. Once the correct position and level are achieved, connect the outlet piping.
4. Backfill around the basin using concrete, cement, or your chosen filler material. Ensure the material fills all gaps and crevices around the basin to prevent air pockets and provide proper support. If concrete is used, allow it to cure for approximately 48 hours before allowing vehicle traffic over the area.

And that's all. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time. Thank you and have a great day, and thank you as always for choosing Vodaland!.
