A pit needs to be dug near the storage tank with a depth of about 7 meters. What is the minimum horizontal distance between this pit and the storage tank?
No one has answered for so long. I consulted a civil engineering expert and they said that the distance between the pit you dig and the foundation of the storage tank should be at least the depth of the pit. However, he added a margin of 3 meters.
You should check whether there are any special requirements in the general layout. In terms of civil engineering, as long as your trench does not exceed the base of the sulfuric acid tank, there will be no structural safety issues.
