On December 10th, the hydraulic testing phase for the 60,000 cubic meter butane storage tank in this project was successfully completed. It is reported that the civil construction of this storage tank was completed on June 22 this year. The project team overcame various adverse conditions such as hot weather, strong winds near the sea, heavy rainfall, and low-temperature cold snaps, and managed to finish tasks including the installation of the outer tank, the pneumatic lifting of the inner tank, and its installation within 5.5 months, setting the fastest construction record for similar double-steel low-temperature tank projects in China. In construction projects, hydrostatic testing is one of the key tests for evaluating the performance of low-temperature storage tanks. It is also an important procedure for checking whether the welds of the internal tank are sound and whether the load-bearing capacity of the tank’s foundation meets the required standards. The hydrostatic test for the butane tank is scheduled to be completed within 30 days. The water filling height will be around 30 meters, with a water consumption of nearly 60,000 cubic meters. During the hydrostatic test, tasks such as water filling and drainage, tank cleaning, settlement monitoring, and inclination monitoring need to be carried out.
