Underground Reservoir - a time lapse

Step One

After the trench is safe and secure lower the reservoir

Step Two

Detach the chain used to lower the reservoir into the prepared trench

Step Three

Double sided Commercial Mastic is used to permanently seal the two sections together

Final Steps

The Westcon cement lid is lowered carefully onto the awaiting lower section. They must align perfectly to create a water tight seal. This is a skill in communication and takes a talented crane operator.

Hydrants

The weight of the upper section compressed  the mastic and makes a permanent seal. This particular tank is a 5,000 gal reservoir.
