Septic tank safety is one of the most important topics that onsite installers and wastewater pumpers can discuss with their clients.

The conversation typically centers on the riser and access lid, ensuring that the riser’s structural integrity remains intact while the lid is in place and bolted down. The talk may also shift to the importance of a secondary safety barrier — a simple add-on component that can make the difference when it counts the most.

Orenco Systems now offers a three-pronged septic tank safety solution: the Riser Lid Adapter, the Tank Shield secondary safety barrier and the FiberLast access lid. Together, they secure onsite systems with proven, reliable technology from a manufacturer you can trust.

New to the marketplace, Orenco’s RLA offers quick and easy installation of the Tank Shield while reinforcing riser tops that may be skewed, uneven or damaged. Installers simply position it on top of an existing fiberglass or ribbed PVC riser and secure it with an adhesive. Once in place, the RLA is a secure, watertight foundation for a secondary safety barrier and a septic tank lid. In fact, Orenco’s Tank Shield easily clicks into place using the RLA’s four built-in tabs. It’s easy to remove too, for O&M chores like inspections, cleaning and repair.

The Tank Shield increases onsite safety by providing a secondary safety barrier. Able to support up to 250 pounds, it’s engineered to prevent larger debris, animals and people from accidentally falling into a tank, pump basin or access port when the lid is open for repair or maintenance. The Tank Shield fits 24-inch ribbed and Orenco 24- and 30-inch fiberglass risers. It’s also easy to click into place, thanks to the new RLA.

FiberLast access lids are built to last. These solid, resin-infused fiberglass lids provide a secure, durable, watertight covering for ribbed PVC, HDPE and Orenco FRP risers, as well as pump basins and access ports. Made with UV- and corrosion-resistant materials, they offer secure, durable, watertight protection and withstand environmental and equipment stress. The lids, which are rated for nontraffic loads up to 2,500 pounds, include a nonskid surface and a molded-in caution statement.

This product trio — the RLA, the Tank Shield secondary safety barrier and the FiberLast access lid — offers your clients secure, lasting onsite protection. Orenco Systems and its dealers worldwide are working to keep wastewater equipment secure and help make our communities safer.
