Construction of the return yard in the storage tank area.
Thread Content
For the construction of the turnaround area in the storage tank zone, can roads be used as a turnaround area? Is the road used as a unloading and parking area?
The turnaround area is designed for fire trucks, and there are several sizes available; generally it’s 12x12 meters, while larger trucks require an area of 16x16 meters or more
How big is the road? Unloading at the tank farm – it definitely happens once in a hundred years; I think that’s possible
Of course, as long as it’s possible to get the fire truck to turn around and drive back. It doesn’t have to be a return lot; a return lane will do as well. The road can be used as a unloading platform. For example, have you seen the process of unloading fuel from tank trucks at gas stations? It’s not necessary to have a dedicated unloading area for this purpose. Code for Building Design 2014: 7.1.9 Circular fire lanes shall have at least two connections to other lanes. End-type fire lanes should be equipped with a turnaround lane or turnaround area, the area of which should not be less than 12m×12m ； For high-rise buildings, the parking area should not be smaller than 15m×15m ； For use with heavy fire trucks, it should be no smaller than 18m×18m.
