Roofing over an earth bank lagoon.

[Rimjob]

Has anyone on here roofed over a clay bank lagoon or even dug a clay lagoon inside an existing building? After 300,000g of the cheapest storage possible . Requirements are...
No rainwater, access to empty sediment. Flexibility should my job alter.

Can you put a floating lid on them to keep rainwater out? Think Dowsons have one

Temporary tanks for slurry, digestate etc.Taking a 1287m³ (that is 283,000 gallons) tank with a floating cover as an example:
• Cost; delivered and installed for around £40,000.
• Can be built under permitted development, 28 days notice to the planners. At 23.16m diameter it covers an area of 422m², below the 465m² limit for prior notification.
• No concrete foundation needed
• Could be built by unskilled labour with our supervision...
Ask me for further details, or see Mick Moor installations facebook page posted 13 January.

Concrete sleepers,you can always sell them if the job ends.

Build a long narrow pit and see how you go,cheapest buildings to cover are 50' wide.

I had a floating cover,fine till my slurry crusted over. I should have bought an undercover stirrer but they were silly money.

Not suitable for the amount of sediment rimjob needs to deal with.

Good idea though.

The stuff I'm dealing with orang suit a bag sorry . Plan is store all winter then spread the liquid off the top and spread the sediment onto ploughing land . This stuff sets like concrete In a matter of hrs not months

If the roof is just to avoid spreading extra volume created by rainwater it might just be cheaper to accept the cost of spreading the rainwater.

What would be the expected lifespan of a temporary tank @MickMoor do you also sell the sealed pillow type stores?

Would settled stuff stack up once settled?

Something like a sand settling lane like they use in the us,you could then heap the solid portion up and reduce storage space or the need for a roof.

Expected life depends on use. Minimum guarantee is 5 years, but I would expect at least 10 years. If you move one, we recommend changing the liner to give it as long again. A couple of leaflets about the Temporary Tanks. I import them from Genap in The Netherlands with help from a waste handling firm who also sells them.
This link should take you to information about Genap's pillow tanks: http://www.genap.nl/index.php/download_file/view/505/287/ I haven't sold any so far, but could look into it if you wish.

Yep just to keep amount to be spread to a minimum is important . Should the job ever alter I'm also thinking if the lagoon was kept maximum below ground with minimum above Then you could also backfill lagoon and have a useable building. A box profile clad shed would also be the maximum fencing for a lagoon hopefully sited away from the farm, but with 11 increasingly inquisitive grand children about it has to be right
