It is to be ensured that the geotextile fabric lies tightly against the Boxes
EN
and no earth gets between the RAUSIKKO Boxes and the geotextile filter
sheeting.
The front of the infiltration tank is to be covered with a pre-cut part which
is equal in size to the surface of the front end plus an approx. 0.5m wide
overlap.
If the Boxes are only used to store rainwater (e.g. as quench water cisterns),
instead of the geotextile filter the Boxes are to be covered with a liner sheet
so that they are watertight. The liner sheet is to be protected on both sides
against mechanical damage with a protective geotextile (with 400 g/m²).

06 Installing the Boxes
The storage elements are to be checked for damage before installation.
Damaged elements shall not be installed. According to the design
specifications the Boxes are arranged one after another, next to and on
top of each other. Orientation of the boxes is to be such that the words
"RAUSIKKO Box" are aligned vertically, i.e. top to bottom or bottom to top.
