Abstract
A waste water recovery system includes a ground cover made of non-woven geotextiles covered with a fluid impervious barrier layer. A drainage waffle is placed on top of the barrier layer and is covered by a non-skid work surface having a plurality of holes permitting flow of fluid through them. At least the barrier layer and the ground cover are coupled to a surrounding frame through the use of a continuous clip. A pumping system is provided to pump waste liquids from the device to a holding tank.
Claims17
a) a frame adapted to be placed upon a ground surface and having an upstanding wall, said frame enclosing a space on a ground surface;
- b) a fluid impervious barrier layer clamped to said wall and covering said space;
- c) a fluid capturing tray mounted above and along said barrier layer and extending to said wall;
- d) a work surface layer mounted over and supported by said tray and extending to said wall, said work surface layer having a plurality of openings therethrough communicating with the tray allowing fluid to pass therethrough to be collected in at least a portion of said tray;
- e) a means extending through said work surface layer and into said at least a portion of said tray for removing fluid;
- and
- f) a means to pump fluid from said at least a portion of the fluid capturing tray to an outlet.
A waste water recovery system, comprising:
- a) a frame adapted to be placed upon a ground surface and having an upstanding wall, said frame enclosing a space on a ground surface;
- b) a ground cover overlying a ground surface and fastened to said frame;
- c) a fluid impervious barrier layer covering said ground cover and fastened to said free;
- d) a drainage waffle overlying and along said barrier layer and including a peripheral wall and a plurality of protrusions within said peripheral wall defining recesses therebetween;
- e) a work surface overlying and supported by said drainage waffle and having an upper non-skid surface and a plurality of openings therethrough communicating with the drainage waffle and allowing fluid to pass therethrough to be collected within said recesses in said drainage waffle;
- and
- f) a pumping system including an input extending through the work surface fluidly connected within said drainage waffle to said recesses and an output connecting to a holding tank.
