Recommended Casing Preparation & Filling
Procedures Acknowledgment Form
(Rev 4/10)

Customer Responsibilities
  • Expose both ends of the casing, verify length and size of casing.
  • Check for unobstructed vent access to casing.
  • Install a top vent (2”) on the high end of the casing, and a bottom vent (2”) on the low end of the casing. Vent height must be at least 4” higher than the actual casing. Suggested vent sizes: 2” up to 1,000 gallons, 3” from 1,000 to 2,500 gallons, 4” over 2,500 gallons.
  • Vent opening into the casing should be 2” minimum.
  • Trenton recommends optimal vent placement to be at least 12” from end of casing. Shorter distances are acceptable, as long as the vent is not restricted by the end seals or spacers.
  • Remove seals and inspect condition inside casing.
  • Flush casing, if necessary, to remove debris in casing.
  • Seal both ends of casing with end seals.
  • Air test casing and seals with 5 psi for approximately 15 minutes.
  • If the casing passes the air test, back fill and schedule fill.
  • Communicating any difficulties in preparation of the casing, access to the job site, and time scheduling (safety meetings or early quit times, etc.) will help expedite the work, and will assist Trenton Corporation in achieving the maximum fill percentage.

Trenton Fill Procedures

  • A company representative must accompany Trenton personnel on the job site at all times.
  • Air is blown from the top vent to the bottom vent at or below 5 psi to remove any water that may be present and to ensure adequate flow between vents.
  • Pre-Con is poured into the fill vent at a ratio of 1 gallon per 200 gallons of filler.
  • Fill Coat # 1 is pumped into the casing thru the bottom vent when possible.
  • The fill process is normally completed when the filler is displaced from the discharge vent.
  • Any Fill Coat # 1 discharged from the vents will be cleaned up by the Trenton crew.
  • It is the customer’s responsibility to remove excessive amounts of Fill Coat # 1 that leak from the casing or end seals. Trenton personnel will determine the acceptable limits for cleanup.
  • Any prolonged delays by the customer after Trenton has arrived at the job site may be subject to a “down time charge” of $350/hr (10 hrs/day max.)

Important Note: Casing or carrier temperatures that exceed 110°F or higher will cause Fill Coat #1 to melt and expand. This could cause material to be discharged from the vents or any other openings in casing.
