Upward movement problem of underground storage tanks?
Thread Content
Underground storage tanks rise due to the influence of the groundwater level; the work on-site has now been completed. What is the appropriate way to deal with this situation?
Since there’s no reinforcement underground, we have to find a solution on the surface – by using weights. Or have a weight pull on its side.

The foundation of buried tanks, the tank walls, and the covering layer must all be treated to prevent leakage.
It still starts with waterproofing; the buoyancy is quite intimidating.
There is a tar tank with a diameter of about 3 meters, on the side walls of which four expansion bolts along with channel steel strips have been installed. It deformed after resisting for some time. There is a quick fix for this issue: buy a fish tank pump with slightly higher power, place it in the gap between the tank and its side walls, and use two electrode wires to create an automatic water-pumping system. To address the root cause, the jar has to be taken out and dealt with.
