Installation

🏗️ INSTALLATION – How is a mobile home placed on-site?

After transportation, the mobile home is lifted from the transport vehicle using a heavy-duty crane and placed onto the pre-prepared foundation.

📍 What is required for on-site crane placement?

• A flat, stable area of sufficient size for the crane and delivery truck (either on-site or on the adjacent street)

• Solid ground or pavement for proper crane stabilization (outrigger setup)

• The home is secured to the foundation using bolts, steel connectors, or welding

💧 UTILITY CONNECTION – Water, sewage, and electricity

Utility connections are typically completed before or during the installation process.

💦 WATER & SEWAGE CONNECTION

1. Permit application:

• Water and sewage connection requests must be submitted to local providers

• If no public sewage system is available: installation of a licensed septic tank or treatment unit is required
  
  

2. Identifying the connection points:

• Water: public line or meter chamber at the property boundary

• Sewage: municipal system or private holding tank
  
  

3. Infrastructure installation:

• Water pipes: minimum 1.5 m below ground (frost protection), with shut-off and backflow valves

• Sewage: 1.5% minimum slope, using PVC or KG-PVC pipes
  
  

4. Connecting to the building:

• Internal plumbing is connected to the external network

• After pressure testing and inspection, the system is ready for use
  
  

👷 Required professionals:

• Licensed plumber

• Excavator or earthwork specialist

• Engineer (if utility upgrades are required)

⚡ ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

1. Authorization:

• Electrical connection permit from the local power provider

• Capacity request and meter installation (for new connections)
  
  

2. Connection point setup:

• Existing network: pole or cabinet at property boundary

• No network: new pole or underground cable is required
  
  

3. Installation:

• Ground cable or overhead line installation

• Installation of meter, fuses, FI-relay, grounding system
  
  

4. Final connection:

• Cable is connected to the building’s internal distribution board

• Electrical safety inspection and documentation are required
  
  

👷 Required professionals:

• Licensed electrician

• Certified network technician

• Excavation crew (if underground cabling is needed)

🌄 SITE CONDITIONS – What kind of terrain is suitable for installation?

Installation is always based on a geotechnical report, which considers:

• Soil bearing capacity

• Slope and terrain profile

• Rainwater drainage requirements

🛠️ For sloped terrain:

• Drainage solutions (e.g. gravel trench, perforated pipe, open channel) may be needed

• Protection against erosion or soil displacement is essential
  
  

🏖️ For sandy soil or waterfront plots:

• Special foundations (e.g. ground screws, bored piles, or beam grids) are recommended

🛣️ HARD-TO-ACCESS LOCATIONS – Can a crane still be used?

Yes. Cranes can place buildings even in tight, sloped, or hard-to-reach areas, depending on weight and distance.

🏗️ Typical crane lifting specs (general reference):

👉 Exact capacity depends on crane type and boom configuration

📐 Minimum requirements for safe crane setup:

• Outrigger width: 1–4 meters

• Lifting range: typically 15–50 meters (up to 80 meters in special cases)

• Crane must be stabilized on solid, level surface
