The problem with the return yard
Thread Content
The term “turnaround area” is often used in the design of storage and transportation areas, but its exact meaning is not clear. Could anyone please provide a detailed explanation or some relevant information? Thank you!
A turnaround area refers to a space left at the end of a road, where a circular fire lane cannot be constructed, allowing fire trucks to turn around. The area should not be less than 15X15 meters, as specified in the \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Oil and Gas Engineering Projects\" GB50183-2004
The fire truck is at the turn at the end of the road
Do you understand? In the Huangdao fire, the lack of a space for fire trucks to turn around prevented them from reaching the scene, and many innocent firefighters lost their lives… Nowadays, tank storage areas are generally designed in a circular shape
Based on what was said upstairs, then does a small oil depot need to have a turning area?
Code for Design of Oil Depots 5.0.9: An annular fire road shall be provided in the oil tank area of an oil depot. Oil tank farms at grade IV and V oil depots, as well as those in mountainous or hilly areas, may also be equipped with end-type fire roads at the back of the parking area. Actually, it was explained quite clearly on the second floor: large and medium-sized oil depots, or those that meet the required conditions, should have circular fire roads, while oil depots that do not meet such conditions should have fire roads at the end of a turnaround area.
