The proper handling and installation of the vertical water tank are very important for long resistance to corrosion and low maintenance over the life of the tank. Some important instructions are given below to install the vertical tanks: The base for flat vertical vessels across all lower sections should be fully and consistently supported. The base should be created to ensure that maximum design loads avoid settling or deflecting. The base surface of the supporting base should be nonporous and free of cracks, depressions, and spikes. The support base is often made of reinforced concrete. All flat-bottomed equipment should be bolted to the base pad through hold-down lugs. This precaution would reduce the risk of equipment damage caused by the movement of the device at nozzle positions and areas of other attachments. Leave enough space between the tank and any nearby structures to allow for expansion after the tank has been filled. A minimum of 150-mm space is required all around. Place the tank in the most convenient location for filling, maintenance, and safety. Make certain the tank is shielded from strong winds (especially when empty). Strap it down if necessary. After the position has been identified, connect all pipework, fittings, and accessories. To prevent damage to the fittings and tank wall, all pipework and fittings linked to the tank should be supported. To absorb shocks and movement of pipe fittings from the tank, insert a length of flexible pipe. To prevent harm from standing over pipes, place the pipe directly on the ground. Water tank stands are appropriate, but they must be installed by a licensed engineer. Water storage tanks must be protected by load-bearing walls and a complete underground slab if they are to be installed underground. Always move the tank carefully, only when it is entirely empty and away from building material on site. Do not stand or climb the tank (especially during filling). The outside of the tank may be slip-threatening. If the pipework and fitting are not fully supported, the structure and integrity of the tank seals might be affected. Although at Polycom, a leading vertical water tank supplier in UAE, our tanks are extremely long-lasting, inappropriate handling and installation may lead to tank fittings, and supply damage. Failure to comply with the instruction on handling and installation makes all guarantees void.
