1. Foundation construction
First, choose a suitable installation site to ensure that the ground is flat, solid and has sufficient bearing capacity. For large Gasoline Storage Tanks, special foundation treatment may be required, such as using a concrete foundation. When pouring the concrete foundation, the construction must be carried out strictly in accordance with the design requirements to ensure that the size, flatness and strength of the foundation meet the standards. At the same time, the reserved holes for the anchor bolts should be set up to facilitate the subsequent fixing of the tank. After the foundation construction is completed, maintenance and acceptance are required to ensure that there are no cracks, settlement and other problems in the foundation.
2. Tank fixing
After placing the Gasoline Storage Tank on the foundation, the tank is tightly connected to the foundation through anchor bolts. When installing the anchor bolts, ensure that their verticality and spacing meet the requirements, and use nuts and washers to tighten the tank. For large tanks, support structures such as steel brackets or concrete piers can also be set around the tank to enhance the stability of the tank. The support structure should be firmly connected to the tank and be able to withstand the weight of the tank when fully loaded and the external forces that may be applied.
3. Pipeline connection
The import and export pipelines of Gasoline Storage Tank should be connected in a flexible manner, such as using metal hoses or corrugated compensators. This can avoid stress on the tank due to thermal expansion and contraction of the pipeline or foundation settlement, which affects the stability of the tank. When connecting the pipeline, ensure that the interface between the pipeline and the tank is well sealed to prevent gasoline leakage. At the same time, the brackets and hangers of the pipeline should be installed firmly to avoid the weight of the pipeline from being transferred to the tank.
4. Other measures
To prevent the tank from shaking or displacing due to external forces such as wind and earthquake, a windproof cable or seismic bracket can be installed on the tank. The windproof cable should be fixed to the top or middle of the tank, and the other end should be connected to a fixed point on the ground; the seismic bracket should be designed and installed according to the local earthquake intensity and the structural characteristics of the tank. In addition, the fixing of the tank should be checked regularly, such as the tightness of the anchor bolts, the integrity of the supporting structure, etc., and loose or damaged parts should be discovered and handled in time to ensure that the Gasoline Storage Tank is always in a stable state.
