Construction of good lasting septic tank and Soak away pit, Anyone who intends to build a living house, Hotel, Factory, Stores, Market, Church or any type of building must have something in mind, where insider and visitors will ease themselves.A house or building without toilets, urinary or bathrooms is not complete because human being needs these facilities for their comfort and where this is not found, life becomes what you can imagine it to be.
A complete building in the city, village, and school or at airport, sea port must have toilets/washing hand basin and when providing these important needs as provided by the architect right in the drawing is a sport designed to direct all the wastes from the toilets and waste water from the basins.
In developed countries they use the central sewage system, whereby all the waste water are channeled into a central pipeline which takes everything to the sewage treatment plant where the waste water is treated and disposed.But where there is no central or private sewage treatment plant, the use of septic tank and soak away pits are required. Before the location of septic tank and soak away, special care must be taken that it must be located at least 50metre from point of Borehole or any underground water tank measuring the same depth or more.
After the location of the point, work will commence by digging to your desired level. I must emphasize here that the depth of your septic tank/soak away determines how often you evacuate it. The deeper you make your pits, the longer it takes to evacuate the content.
As the name goes the septic tank and soak away. The septic tank retains the whole human waste with its waters and when its gets to the middle as the connection is made transfers excess water to the soak away pit which absolves the excess water and allows in more waste water to get into soak away pit instead of getting into open gutters, such soak away pits must be wide and deep and at times be filled with broken blocks. The broken block helps to soak up the waste water making room for more intakes.
