March 30, 2020 at 7:52:46 PM MDT Hey guys, it's Jesse high performance. Earthworks time. You did guys quick little run-down and walkthrough of this commercial septic system that we're doing right here in rollinsville. Colorado are the Rocky Mountains just outside of Denver is for the stage Stop, which is an old historic building is really cool music venue. We got that the train tracks to run right there. Hopefully someday in the future where you get this train to stop and go right to Winter Park and is all this really know. Anyway, yes, I know but. I'm a show you guys what we're doing here. So right here, we're digging beechfield number to offset from the first one over here. You can see how they're all set.
Basically the two ends or are not parallel with each other and the reason being for that is because is because we have to be a hundred feet away from the well and the well is on the opposite corner of this big building here. And if you if you do is Swing radius with the tape measure. Basically, this is where we have to put these fields in order to make it all fit on this property in a in a good way. So. We have each and a half schedule 40 lateral pipes. We have three of them. We have holes drilled on three foot centers here with larvae Shields over the holes the orifice Shield basically prevent box from you know, sticking one of the points right in the hole and plug in that hole so that the war official the best way to keep rocks out of the hole. Over here, we have our flush out pipes.
So we've got all of our lateral pipes together and then we're going to we're bringing them all up to the surface and one traffic rated concrete Riser with our traffic rated. So this field here has passed final inspection from the from the inspector. So we're in the process of backfilling here. And what we're doing here is were basically building a layer cake and we've dug out five feet down like we've done in this other hole behind me and then we put down one foot of cr33 Congress and brought that up leveled then we put down 6 in of inch and a half washed crushed rock that's required to the it needs to be washed that it doesn't have the fines that are going in there and can clog up the filtration ability of the sand is down below.
So we did 6in of rock then we put in our pipes and now we're doing 60 Rock and then we're covering the whole thing with weed fabric. So we don't have any infiltration of fines from the top layers of the backfill going down into the Rock and. So that's what we're in the process of doing right now. We're going ahead and backfilling this and. Then we can go down over here and look at the rest of the field over here. So basically are definitely going to be coming from our our tank or tanks and all my things over here is basically our treatment facility and then we have this automatic Distributors also known as an ADV.
It's going to automatically distribute the effluent in between this field and this field and so these new fields are going to be handling the effluent full proportion ultimately and what time does that goes each field little bit more of a chance to rest and dry out and for the bio microbial activity to kind of keep up and catch up with the breakdown of the solid than any any biological material that might be going into this and it is filled, you know, that all gets broken down and these fields. Play last forever because of this alternating system and the sand and everything that we have in here. Got it if you want. Automatic bearing this in this Riser and bringing this up to the surface as well. We'll probably end up doing to these wretched and exposed. Right over here. We have our final thing is a 500 gallon pump tank at so basically this has this orenco pump this right here in the know. It's going to go and drop down into their these things are actually bomb-proof the last forever fantastic pump.
And we got all of our wiring in our conduit here and then we have our country Ronnie basically Advanced treatment from bio-microbics and what that what what's in here is basically. It's like a membrane or a bunch of. Plastic with ripples in it that allows the bacteria aerobic bacteria to live on those on that surface area and basically start breaking down the human waste and this is a blower as well as going to be injecting oxygen into this tank and so aerobic bacteria that's going to be breaking down. All of our our waste is is a happy and it is basically creating friendly environment for a brother bacteria and the biological material than your standard septic system, which is an anaerobic digestion tank and the word septic basically means an aerobic so most most.
Most septic tanks are anaerobic digestion. And so there's an advanced treatment thinks it's not actually by definition of septic tank. It's a it's an advanced treatment tank aerobic digester Justin tank. So that's why we have here over here. We have our second basic pump tank. So this is also known as a lift station and this is our first septic tank over here. So we have our two thousand gallon septic tank. It's going to be pumping into this so I can take it from here. We're going into our Advanced treatment tank. So. 3000 gallon tank is a 1000 gallon tank. That's a 3000 gallon tank. But over here and then we have a 500 gallon tank.
We have our 1000 gallon grease trap grease trap tank straps are not 1,000 gallons are close to 500 gallons. So this is a really big nice tank for basically being a grease trap. This is the only tank in the system is not traffic rated. So we're going to have to end up putting a couple of Boulders around these risers to keep traffic off of this little corner of the parking lot, which is fine cuz I love you. It is coming out. So we have our kitchen sewer that's going into the shop. And then we have our house to her that bypassing the grease trap and then these two these two tanks and the sewer line the sewer line after the street chapter 2 sewer lines tied together, and then they come into her or 2000 gallon tank. And we have all of our conduits in the ground ready for electrical and inspection. And we're good.
