In building a concrete septic tank why do you need seperate concrete pours?

I have read that in building a concrete septic tank, you generally want to pour the base slab first and then within a couple of days pour the remaining walls. Is this the best way when doing one yourself with concrete? Wouldn't it be better to do it all in one pour, assuming you had a sturdy enough form to resist the pressure of the concrete?


Answer:
septic tanks , are very simple to build if you have the right molds,
and i would presume you dont , if you build it , in two sections
it will not be a Strong as it should be , we use 9000 psi
preformed ,molds as to code . in fact we buy them, and then install them , your not really saving money here, the con create must meet all the codes as well
hire the pros, they install, plumb and make sure its up to code, with out problems,
