What is essential for the installation of a mound system to avoid system failure?

Strict adherence to design plans is vital for the installation of a mound system because these plans are developed based on specific site conditions, soil characteristics, and the intended use of the system. The design outlines the appropriate dimensions, installation methods, and material specifications necessary for the system to function effectively. Deviating from these plans can lead to improper drainage, inadequate treatment of effluent, and ultimately, system failure.

Following the design ensures that the mound system is properly sized and sited to accommodate the volume and characteristics of wastewater generated. It also takes into account local environmental factors, such as drainage patterns and seasonal moisture conditions. When these plans are meticulously followed, the likelihood of the system performing as intended increases significantly, thus reducing the risk of premature failure and environmental contamination.
