Marking up the Basin
3. Marking up the Basin
The following instructions describes the installation

of bottom cones and embedment parts of the
DynaSand filter with 2-12 modules in one concrete
basin.
There are two following manuals after this one,
the Installation Manual Concrete filter(s) Stage II,
contains information on how to install the internals,
the air-lift pumps and the control systems and
others. Installation Manual Concrete filter(s) stage
III, contains information about how to install the
pipes.
3.1 Control of elevation,

dimensions
Check your drawing and do the following:
1. Check the dimensions of the basin,
see chapter 10.3 for the measurements of a basin
with the correct number of modules.
2. Check that the diagonals of the basin are equal,
see figure 3.2.
3. Check
the
ground
plates
elevation.
The elevation of the ground plates needs to be
checked over the whole plant and it is important
to keep the same elevation all-over.
5. Mark up a line on the wall, the elevation shall be

at +1905 mm (the floor in the manual is always
considered as +0 mm, see 10.2 for calculation
example) added with the tolerance you have
chosen in point 3 above. This line indicates
where the upper edge of the bottom cone shall
be located before drilling the hole in the walls,
see figure 3.1.
6. In figure 6.5, there is an elevation, which is the
most important elevation for the proceeding
of the installation. This elevation can only
be checked when the whole group of the
bottom cones are attached to each other. More
instructions about this elevation in chapter 6.2.
Note! This is a help line to see that the bottom cones

are in right level. The upper edge of the bottom cone
should fit to this line.
Note! If some area of the ground plate is

outside the tolerance of 5 mm, then you
have to go for this elevation in the basin.
This needs to be discussed with the Nordic Water
Products supervisor.
4. Check the over all length and width of the basin.
The dimension in length and width shall be
checked at a height of 1700 - 2100 mm over
the bottom plate. If this dimension is smaller
than the indicated dimension in the drawing,
see appendix, a recess in the concrete has to
be done.
1905 mm 5 mm
Note! If a recess has to be done in the concrete, please

contact the Nordic Water Products supervisor.

DS 9.14
3.2 Marking up the lines on the

ground plate
Before the installation can start, a control of all basins
has to be carried out. The ground plates elevation in
all basins shall be in the elevation 5mm. Follow
the step by step instruction in this chapter to mark
out all necessary lines and check them carefully so
no mistakes are made. It is very important that the
elevation and dimensions are followed.
Note! The inner dimension on each basin has to

be checked out from the project layout drawing in
chapter 2.
Note! For exact measurements see 10.3.
Basin with two modules

1. Measure the diagonal over the basin and mark
out the centre point where the diagonal lines are
crossing each other. Check that the centre point
has the same distance to all walls.
2. Mark out two lines in the middle of the basin.
The lines should be parallel with the walls of the
basin and form a cross, figure 3.2.
3. Mark out two new lines in each direction from
each centre line, parallel with the walls, figure
3.3.
4. In each of this new points where the lines are
crossing each other, a hole for the anchor bolts
shall be drilled, see figure 3.3. The supplied
anchor bolt size is M16. The chemical compound
is supplied by Nordic Water Products AB. The
drill diameter for the M16 anchor bolt has to be
carried out according to the data sheet from the
supplier of the chemical compound.
5. The depth of the hole shall be 175 mm.

Basin with four modules or more
1. Measure the diagonal over the basin and mark

out the centre point where the diagonal lines are
crossing each other. Check that the centre point
has the same distance to all walls, figure 3.2.
2. Mark out a line (A) from the crossing point
in the middle of the basin. The line should be
parallel with the long walls of the basin figure
3.4.
3. Mark out a new line (B) from the crossing point,
parallel to the short wall.
4. Offset the line (A) that is parallel with the long
wall with a new line (C) on each side.
5. Offset the line (B) with a new line (D) on each
side.
6. If your basin contains more than four modules,

repeat point 4-5 in all directions. See 10.3 for
more details.
7. In each of this, new points where the lines are
crossing each other a hole for the anchor bolts
shall be drilled. The anchor bolt size is M16, the
size of the hole, see instruction for installation
of chemical anchor for this size of bolt.
8. The depth of the hole shall be 175 mm.
Note! A fixture where all these points are marked

out can be useful to use just to mark out the drilling
points from the centre point.
Note! For exact measurements for the number of modules in the current basin see 10.3.

3.3 Installation of anchor bolts

It is very important that all ground plates in all
basins are in the same elevation.
Mount the threaded rods in the ground plate; the
holes are described in section 2 and the screw set in
table 3.1.
The anchor bolt shall reach at least 60-70 mm above
the ground plate, depending on the elevation of the
ground plate.
Note! The chemical compounds are provided by

4.3 Prepare the bottom cone for

installation in the basin
The bottom cone has to be secured to keep the shape
during casting. The cone is not constructed to take
up the force from the casting, therefore the sand
distributor is used as a fixture during the casting of
the concrete. The casting has to be done in at least
three steps, preferable in four steps, see chapter 6.3.
Mount the sand distributor, see figure 4.18, between
the four brackets. There are four holes, one on each
bracket, where the M1040 bolts will fit. Secure with
a nut and washer from the outside.
The construction can be lifted using the sand
distributor. Otherwise there are three holes on four
sides to arrange a lifting device.

5.2 Assembling the bottom cone
The FRP bottom cone is assembled on a flat, hard

surface. There is no need for a fixture to facilitate
the assembling of the bottom cone as for the steel
bottom cone.
Before the bottom cones are installed in the basin,

the bottom cone have to be mounted together. The
bottom cone is divided in four parts with a plate in
the bottom.
Start by preparing the cone sections with self
adhesive gasket, 203 mm (see figure 5.1). The gasket
is delivered in rolls and cut in the right lengths.
Note! The self adhesive gasket shall only be placed

on one side of the bottom cone part.

5.3 Preparing the bottom cone

for installation in the basin
The bottom cone has to be secured to keep the shape
during casting. The cone is not constructed to take
up the force from the casting, therefore the sand
distributor is used as a fixture during the casting
of the concrete underneath. The casting has to be
done in at least three steps, preferable in four steps,
chapter 6.3.
Mount the sand distributor, (see figure 5.10 for
sand distributor in FRP amd figure 5.11 for sand
distributor in stainless steel) between the four
brackets. There are four holes, one on each bracket,
where the hook bolts will fit. Secure with M10 nut
and washer from the outside.
The construction can be lifted using the sand
distributor, see figure 5.12.

Installation of Bottom Cone
6. Installation of Bottom Cone

6.1 General
To lift the bottom cone into the basin, lifting
equipment must be attached to the bottom cone. The
lifting equipment can be strapped around the sand
distributor, see figure 6.1.
For steel bottom cones a shackle can be attached

to the brackets attached to the sand distributor, see
figure 4.18.
No personnel shall be in the basin

during the lift of the bottom
cone.
General
and
local
safety
regulations shall be observed
when work is performed in the
basin.
Example of temporary support

6.2 Mounting the bottom cone

Installation
Lift one bottom cone into the basin and place it over
the anchor bolt. Start in one of the corners since a
single cone is unsteady and needs temporarily support
to prevent it from falling (figure 6.1). Check so that
the upper edge of the bottom cone is approximately
at the same level as the elevation line on the wall,
figure 3.1.
To avoid water from the concrete to leak into the

bottom cone use some silicone compound on the
washer before you lift in the cone.

When the two cones have been screwed together

with the M1030, a check must be done; the top of
the sand distributor must be exactly horisontal (see
figure 6.5).
This elevation is the most important elevation. The
closer the installation is carried out to the elevation
of +0 mm, the more equal the flow will be through
the filter groups. So when the elevation for the sand
cones in one filter group is ensured, the purpose
of the rest of the installation is to reach the same
elevation.
Note! Check the elevation for the top surface of all

sand distributors. The elevation must be with in
5 mm. See figure 6.5.

DS 9.14
If everything has been carried out in accordance to

this instruction, tolerances and elevations, indicated
in the drawings, then there should be a gap between
the outer side of the bottom cones and the wall.
Depending on the tolerance the gap can vary in
size. Use a wooden shim or equal to keep this gap.
Drill the holes into the wall, through the holes in the
bottom cones.

The expansion bolt size is M10, the size of the drilled

hole is 10 mm.
The depth of the hole shall be 70-100 mm, depending
of the basin tolerance. Drill all holes into the wall
and mount the expansion bolts.
Check that all anchor bolts and screws are
tightened.
This distance has to stay until the casting underneath
is done. In figure 6.9 an example of the design for the
wooden shim between the wall and the bottom cone
is shown.
Aggressive water is for example salt water with high

contents of chloride or some kinds of fabrication
water. Please contact the process department at
Nordic Water Products AB for more information
about aggressive water.
The threaded rod size is M10. See installation
instructions for chemical anchor for this size of
threaded rods.
The chemical compounds are provided by Nordic
Water Products AB. Follow the procedure for the
chemical compound and see the data sheet from the
supplier.
Use the threaded rod M10, length ~100mm, washer
M10, nut M10, see packing list from Nordic Water
Products AB.
When the chemical compound is cured mount a
washer M10, nut M10 on each threaded rod and
check the wooden shims so it fits the gap between
the bottom cone and the wall.
Tighten the nuts and check that all nuts and screws
are tightened.

6.3 Concrete casting of the

bottom cones
Before starting with the four steps of concrete
casting a small undercasting has to be done under
each cone. Cast by hand as illustrated in figure 6.10.
Do not vibrate the concrete! This might

damage or buckle the bottom cones.
Note! The concrete shall cure between each step of
concrete casting.

First step
Second step
Cast around 430 mm concrete in each step. Let the

concrete cure before the next step is casted.
After the concrete has cured, continue with the

second step of concrete casting.
Note! Fill up the cone with water at least to the same

level as an imaginary line of the next step of casting.
This will hold back the force from the concrete during
the casting.

Concrete Partitioners
7 Mounting the In-basin Concrete Partitioner
7. Mounting the In-Basin Concrete Partitioners

7.1 General
The function of all concrete partitioners is to
guarantee movement in the filter media. The in
basin concrete partitioners are different for DS
5000 concrete and DS 6000 concrete versions. The
difference depends on the total volume of the filter
media, where DS 5000 needs a higher in basin
paratitioner than DS 6000.
The in basin partitioner for DS 5000 is called pylons
while the in basin partitioner for DS 6000 is called
pyramids. Chapter 2.1 contains information about
your system.
7.2 Casting concrete

partitioners
The concrete partioners can be prefabricated or
casted directly in the basin. If the prefabricated
method is chosen, the concrete partioners are casted
in a mould, built according to Nordic Water Products
dimensions (see section 3-4). After the concrete
has cured the partitioners are lifted into place and
fastened with wet concrete and/or bolts. More
instructions on installation of concrete partitioners
in section 5.
Note! The in basin concrete partinioners can be

prefabricated and lifted into place or casted directly
in the basin.

7.3 Pyramids
Pyramids are casted in different shapes in concrete.
The full pyramids are used in the basin between the

of the basin.
The pylons differ from the pyramids since they are
higher than the pyramids.
Dimensions of the pylons

The dimension and form of the different prefabricated
pylons are shown in figure 7.10-7.15. The height of
the pylons depends on the filter model. Heights are
