Introduction

The following sequence of pictures illustrates the fabrication and erection of a large sulphuric acid storage tank.

The foundation is excavated and a mudcoat is applied before rebar for the ring wall is laid. storage_tank1.JPG (17299 bytes)
Rebar being laid to form the tank foundation ring wall. storage_tank2.JPG (24303 bytes)
More rebar being added with the start of the formwork. storage_tank3.JPG (20949 bytes)
Rebar and formwork completed. storage_tank4.JPG (21170 bytes)
Concrete being poured into formwork storage_tank5.JPG (18847 bytes)
Formwork has been stripped away revealing foundation ring wall.  Interior of ring wall being backfilled. storage_tank6.JPG (15850 bytes)
