  • Learn mound design configurations and materials; sand layer, fill, gravel, chambers.
  • Basic knowledge of utilizing topography of installation site.
  • Know factors in locating the mound – slope vs. level, clearance separations, vertical separations, fill materials for raised bed.
  • Ability to bed tank properly and excavate delivery line.
  • Ability to build pressure distribution laterals for mound, orientation of orifices, spacing, etc.
  • Ability to assist with preparation of basal area (soil interface).
