A properly installed septic system is paramount to effectively managing household wastewater. Galcon Precast stands out as a leader in the field, offering durable precast septic tanks that promise longevity and reliability in Duncan. For homeowners and professionals alike, understanding the installation process of these septic tanks is crucial. Here's a step-by-step guide to installing precast septic tanks with Galcon Precast, designed to offer clarity and insight into this vital process.


1. Initiating the Process


The journey to a new or replacement septic system often begins with the homeowner reaching out to a wastewater practitioner or engineer. Although it's less common for homeowners to initiate contact directly, those who do are typically well-informed and proactive about their wastewater management needs. In most cases, however, it's the wastewater professionals who spearhead septic system installations.


2. The Role of Wastewater Practitioners and Engineers


Wastewater practitioners and engineers are the linchpins in the installation process. These ticketed professionals boast expertise in designing and installing wastewater systems, septic tanks, and fields. Their responsibilities encompass coordinating the project from start to finish. This includes working closely with the client to determine the system's design, the necessary equipment, and the installation location, ensuring every detail is meticulously planned.


3. Design and Coordination


Once the design is finalized, the wastewater practitioner or engineer collaborates with Galcon Precast, providing the specifications for the septic tanks and arranging for their delivery. Their proficiency ensures that the chosen system aligns perfectly with the homeowner's needs and local regulations.


4. Preparing the Site


The next step involves site preparation, where the practitioner or engineer oversees the grading, leveling, and excavation required to create a suitable foundation for the septic tank. This preparation is critical to ensuring the long-term stability and efficiency of the septic system.


5. The Installation Process


With the site prepared, Galcon Precast's team arrives with a crane truck to lower the precast septic tank into the excavated hole. All tanks are installed underground, adhering to strict safety and quality standards. The wastewater practitioner or engineer then completes the process by backfilling and covering the tank, followed by a thorough check to ensure the system functions as designed.


6. Customization and Longevity


Galcon Precast offers the flexibility of using tanks from their existing inventory or custom fabricating them to meet specific project requirements. This adaptability ensures that every installation is optimized for its unique context. Moreover, the concrete tanks installed by Galcon are known for their exceptional longevity, with a standard life expectancy of 50 years, though many last much longer, providing unparalleled value and reliability.
