A molded basin for use with a submersible sump, sewage or grinder pump. The molded construction of the basin permits design improvements to be incorporated into the basin including bolt down slots in a bottom flange of a bottom of the basin, a molded inner basin mounting surface for a float tree, a molded inner surface support mount to receive a bracket of a rail system used to raise and lower the pump within the basin, a disc that fits within the basin and is supported by a molded inner facing horizontal rib to create a wet/dry well and structural features present in a top surface of the basin and a cover for the basin to close said basin. Extension risers may be added to extend the height of the basin, wherein the extension risers contain many of the same structural features that are present in the basin.

A safety grating has an arch shape cross section and is useful within a riser having a frusto-conical shape wall which riser is attached to a septic tank or another structure. The grating comprises a hub and radially extending arms, one or more of which is rotatable relative to the hub length at a hinge joint, to decrease the size of the grating and enable installation of the grating by passing the grating a smaller end opening of a riser.

Disclosed herein is a free-standing cesspool and a cesspool liner that may be used to retrofit existing cesspools in order to provide additional storage and/or processing for raw sewage before the sewage leaches out of the cesspool.

A wall unit (V) for a retaining structure (100) comprises a foot portion (1a) and a wall portion (1b), wherein the wall portion (1b) is inclined with respect to the foot portion (1a), so that it extends over the foot portion (1a). Accordingly, the wall unit (1) is stable during construction and assembly. A corner unit (7) for a retaining structure (100) is adapted to engage with two wall units (1). A retaining structure (100) comprises at least one wall unit (1).

A modular system for reducing the total suspended solids of waste, including scum, sludge and water layers, includes a plurality of chambers each being connected in succession by a corresponding one of a plurality of flow pipe segments including an inlet segment, an outlet segment and at least one middle segment, wherein the waste enters the septic tank via the inlet segment and is transferred between each of the plurality of chambers via the at least one middle segment; a corrugated flow pipe in fluid flow communication with the outlet segment; and the corrugated flow pipe being sized and configured for use as a settling zone for removal of a portion of the total suspended solids and wherein an amount of water from the water layer within the chamber adjacent the outlet segment enters the corrugated flow pipe and passes through the outlet segment.
