​Steel Storage

Challenge

​​​​With time constraints in place, this site was not suitable for long term open excavation which would have occurred with the cast in-situ tank and liner system on the original plans.  The client preference was to use a more time and cost efficient solution, with an Australian Tanks precast, trafficable and anti-floatation tank system.

Solution

• Australian Tanks (ATQ) delivered a precast multi-tank sprinkler system ready to lower into the excavation and start backfill almost immediately.
• Installed in just over five (5) hours
• ​The system consisted of 6 tanks and a twin turbine vortex pump
• ​Each twin turbine vortex pump tank also included preinstalled internal galvanized ladders.
  

Result

• ​Arrival onsite at 9:00am
• ​Fully installed by 3:30pm
• ​Australian Tanks precast alternative
• ​Trafficable by fully loaded semi-trailer, based on the SM1600 design load ratings
• Anti-floatation
