Tank farm

Can a tank farm be built without pilings?
Piling may not be necessary for the tank area, but good geological conditions are required
Let the data from the detailed survey report speak for itself. Generally, the bearing capacity of the ground can be enhanced through dynamic compaction and soil replacement; pile driving is not commonly used.
Thank you all; I’ve learned a lot and found it very beneficial. . . :lol:lol:lol
I’ve never seen pile driving, but a foundation needs to be built
It depends on the geological survey data and structural calculations; if the settlement requirements are met and the bearing capacity of the ground is sufficient, it’s possible to proceed with the foundation construction without driving piles.
Whether pilings are needed depends on the geology and the size of the tank.
It depends on what kind of tank it is; there are regulations regarding this. Some require pilings while others do not, and it mainly depends on the conditions of the soil.
The opinions of the construction party also played a certain role.
