For large oil depots that store crude oil, underground storage tanks are planned to be used, with a total storage capacity of 6 million cubic meters; the capacity of each tank ranges from 20,000 to 100,000 cubic meters. The Design Code for Oil Depots GB 50074 is not applicable to the design of depots with a capacity of over 1.2 million cubic meters, and the Design Code for Oil Reserve Depots GB 50737 is not applicable to the design of underground storage tanks. Are there any other applicable codes?
G50016 \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings\"
For a project of this scale, it’s necessary to find a reliable design firm first, so that the designers can refer to the relevant standards.
Nanjing Haizhihan Intelligent Technology’s specialized safety monitoring systems for gas tank pistons, laser level gauges, laser level sensors, laser liquid level meters, high-frequency radar level gauges, radar level sensors, laser cabinet level detectors, laser cabinet volume meters; systems for detecting piston drift in gas tanks, piston torsion in gas tanks, as well as measuring the volume of gas tanks. There are also laser level gauges for aluminum melt, laser level sensors for the aluminum industry, and devices for measuring the liquid level in aluminum melting tanks. Additionally, there are systems for automatically measuring the electrode paste column in calcium carbide plants, as well as devices for measuring the liquid level in reaction vessels and crystallization tanks. These systems include tools for measuring electrode paste and the length of electrodes in calcium carbide furnaces

An oil depot is a whole entity; the main storage area of an underground oil depot is constructed in accordance with professional design standards, but an oil depot consists of more than just the storage area. The design of fire alarm systems, automatic fire extinguishing devices, fire exits, smoke exhaust facilities, fire power supplies, electrical installations, etc., all must be carried out in accordance with the building fire protection design codes.
Thank you; perhaps I didn’t explain myself clearly. My question relates mainly to the specifications for tanks. At present, the design firm has only provided a preliminary feasibility study; there are no specific guidelines for the design of the storage tanks. The proposed design for these tanks is a underground reinforced concrete structure, which leaves me completely confused
;P Nowadays, the design firms aren’t reliable either – the feasibility study doesn’t even include any key specifications related to tank structures

Does what the design institute means here is that the tank area should have an underground reinforced concrete structure, and not referring to the tank equipment itself? It is recommended to check the design contract signed with the design institute to see whether their scope of work includes the design of storage tank equipment. Or will the storage tanks be procured through a separate subcontract by Party A, who are only responsible for the design of the underground oil depot? Generally, for such equipment, the design and manufacturing are not handled by two different companies. If the design institute you mentioned does not have a manufacturing department, it is very likely that the storage tanks are purchased separately and are not part of the design scope of the institute.
