Our plastic storage tanks are placed directly on the foundation, without any fixation
Plastic storage tanks can be placed indoors or outdoors; when indoors, they do not need to be fixed and can be simply placed on a foundation. In outdoor areas, fixing is necessary due to the varying local wind loads. Consider welding a circular steel ring with an outer diameter larger than that of the plastic storage tank to the foundation prefabricated parts, and placing the circular plastic storage tank inside this ring. If the plastic storage tank is horizontal, it is possible to consider welding two square steel rings that are larger than the base of the plastic storage tank, along with foundation pre-welded components, in order to place the plastic storage tank within those square steel rings.
Fine sand is used to ensure a smooth surface of the foundation and to prevent uneven stress on the contact surface at the bottom of the plastic storage tank. For fixing, larger storage tanks usually have specialized fixtures for that purpose. It’s something that’s wrapped around the tank at the time of production, similar to lugs.
