Spacing between tower units

2024-01-07View Original

Thread Content

Two small towers, about 20 meters high, are placed within the framework. The clear distance is 1 meter. The specified length is 2.5 meters, and it is said that a joint foundation can be used. Is this feasible? Vacuum tower, with a top temperature of around 100°C. There aren’t many pipelines. It basically does not affect operation. The project is being replicated and expanded; there was originally one line that worked fine for driving, and now another line is being created in a mirrored format.

A combined foundation can save space, but it is necessary to ensure structural safety and ease of operation and maintenance. Given the tower’s height and temperature conditions, it is recommended to conduct detailed structural calculations and thermal stress analysis, and seek advice from professional engineers or structural designers. If the expansion project is based on the successful operation of the existing line, it is necessary to ensure that the new design takes into account the existing structural layout and operational experience, and to assess the potential impact on the existing foundations and clear spaces. Before considering reducing the spacing, it is essential to ensure that practical requirements such as safety, stability, and maintenance are met. .

If there’s a design institute willing to create the drawings and provide the seal, then there’s no problem: lol

It should be possible; the spacing specified is based on independent foundations and separate operating platforms

I work at a design institute; these two professional designers are whispering to each other – there’s no official document yet.

What is the tower diameter? Safety operating space also needs to be considered for small towers.

Look at the length-to-diameter ratio: for a 20-meter-tall tower with a diameter of no more than 2 meters, an spacing of 1 meter is feasible. Otherwise, neither the skirt foundation nor the joint foundation will be stable.

The diameter at the bottom is 2 meters, and 800 at the top.
