2. BOLTED ZINC ALUMINUM STEEL WATER TANK

Zinc Aluminum Bolted Tanks are manufactured from steel

sheet which has been continuously coated with zinc and
aluminum to provide the excellent corrosion resistance
which is commonly experienced by tanks that are exposed
to the harshest of atmospheric conditions. Aluminum in the
coating provides barrier protection to the steel whilst the
zinc component provides sacrificial cut edge protection.

Storage for: Fire Fighting, Raw Water Storage, Process

Water, Domestic Water, Potable & Rainwater Applications.

3. GLASS FUSED STEEL WATER TANK

GFS Steel Tank technology is one of the premiere
coating technology in the storage tank market.

Molten glass reacts with steel plate surface to form an inert

and inorganic bond, which combines the strength and
flexibility of steel and outstanding corrosion resistance of
glass, so GFS Tanks can provide many advantage over
standard
welded and epoxy painted storage tanks.

Step 1: Install the base channel basis

First, correct channel base diagonal size to ensure each base size of inner square being
970mm. Weld the skid base together with the fixed angle iron. Check the base is horizontal
or not after welding is completed. If not, increase the iron piece and keep base pad be
horizon.

Step 2: Install the tank bottom panel

Put the bottom panel on the skid base, ensure on each side of the panel is on the base and
then spot welding.

Step 3: The tank side panel welding

Firstly fix four corners of each plate and weld. Welding should serious and careful to ensure
no missing point(voids). Then, put each side panels together on the flat according the
thickness. Plate angle to align together to ensure that the appearance of tank plate flat and
neat, then weld.

Step 4: Installation of the side panel with bottom panel

Erected the tank four whole side panels on the floor, side panels align at bottom panels. Fix
them by spot welding, then weld four sides integrally .
Stainless steel welded tank installation instructions

Step 5:Lacing bar welding inside the tank

Lacing bar weld at the two opposite tank side of the cross. Each cross has a main lacing bar;
four auxiliary short lacing bars connect the side tank with the main lacing bar; the distance
between the side panel and the welding point on the main lacing bar is 500mm. Each head
main bar has four auxiliary short bar.

Step 6: welding tank cover panel

The cover panel connections is same with third steps, spot welding side panel and cover
panel from inside. Each cross of the cover panel(bottom panel) weld support(bracing). Just
a support stick, no auxiliary lacing bar.

Step 7: internal weld treatment tank

After finish of welding tanks, wipe special decontamination cream at each weld place.
Rinse it after ten minutes in order to avoid corrosion caused by poor water quality.

Step 8: The tank flange welding

Determine the location of the opening hole, the opening diameter not larger than the pipe
diameter.

Step 9: welding tank ladder

 Installation and Maintenance Instructions

1. GUIDELINES ON LOCATING WATER TANKS

The following recommendations are generally for elevated tanks, as tanks at elevated positions can cause serious
damage to the surrounding area in the event of wall, pipe or structural support failure resulting in water spilling out at a
fast rate. Consideration must be given to minimize the effects of such an occurrence, in terms of the positioning of the
tank and regular inspection for defects.

o Water tanks should be located so as to prevent water damage or consequential loss in the event of leakage
howsoever occurring.
o All tanks which are located above water sensitive areas should have a bund wall around them with adequate
evacuation ducts.
o All other tanks should have Condensation or Drip trays to prevent nuisance damage and to keep floors dry.

Over the years we have seen tanks fail due to age, lack of maintenance, failure of the structural supports underneath the
tanks, contaminated water attacking the internal fittings, ball valve failure where overflows were not fitted, vandalism
etc.

1. Handrails on tank roofs – Health & Safety requirements

Handrails may be necessary to satisfy Health & Safety Regulations. The type of railing required is dependant on the
tank height, distance from ground level, access etc. Please confirm which handrail arrangement is required so that
we can make the necessary inclusion. We can supply and install ladders and railings but we must be informed of the
exact details prior to quoting the job. We assume that the end user is making his own arrangements unless we are
informed otherwise.

2. Water Tanks on top of buildings

Water tanks located on top of any building should be sited at least 1.2 meters away from the edge of the building.It
would be preferable if the water tank was sited 1.5 times the height of the tank away from the
edge of the building. In the event of failure, this would allow the water to spread itself over a much wider area
before spilling over the edge of the building and possibly taking personnel or debris with it.

3. Water Tanks on elevated structures

For water tanks located on top of elevated structures, a walkway of at least 1 meter should be provided all round the
water tank to allow for maintenance and inspection. This walkway should comply with health and safety
regulations..

4. Potable Water Tanks

To comply with the Health & Safety Executive regulations on the Control of Legionellosis 1998, Cold Water
Storage Tanks must be located in areas that are “readily accessible for cleaning”.
Regular Maintenance and Inspections as required by Health & Safety Legislation.

2. TANKS COMPONENTS

1. Type of the U-Steel Base

Standard Tanks come complete with Q235B U-steel painting to color for base frame, we recommend hot dip
galvanized instead painting.

2. Panel
The panels is stainless steel 304 or 316 food grade complete with GB/T 5750.8-2006.

3. Dividers
In any situation where there is only one water storage tank in a building and the capacity is greater that1000 litres
(220 gallons), BS 6700 states “To avoid interruption of the water supply when carrying out repairs or
maintenance, the cistern shall be provided with compartments or standby cistern”. Where drinking water is being
stored, two separate tanks are recommended as it is difficult detect cross contamination from one side of a division
wall to another.

4. Ball Valve Hosing

Enclosed chamber containing an access hatch above the level of the cover, permitting the level control
mechanism to be mounted at a higher level than would otherwise be possible. The overflow(s) must be placed
on the tank side wall and not on the Ball Valve Housing. Water must be kept below tank roof level. Ball Valve Housings
are only necessary where very large ball valves are used.

5. Ladders
Where tank depth is 1.5 m or greater, internal and external ladders should be specified. If the tank is on a raised
platform then ladders may be required on tanks lower than this height.

1. Water Tank Temperature Maintenance Interval: 6 Monthly

Check List
1. In accordance with the “The control of legionella bacteria in water systems. Approved Code of
Practice and guidance” (L8) - 2000, (see Appendix I) if there is a reasonable foreseeable risk of
exposure to legionella bacteria then water tank temperatures need to be taken by competently
trained personnel, recorded in a logbook and kept for 5 years.
2. Both mains temperature at ball valve and a temperature remote from ball valve to be taken.
Temperature should be below 20ºC
3. Fill Out Log Book
4. Inform Supervisor of any Anomalies.
5. Do not stand on internal stays while maintenance is being carried out.

2. Tank Maintenance & Inspection Interval: Annually

Check List
1. If there is a reasonable foreseeable risk of exposure to legionella bacteria then water tank
temperatures need to be taken by competently trained personnel, recorded in a logbook and kept
for 5 years.
2. Do not stand on internal stays while maintenance is being carried out.
3. All internal supports should be checked for corrosion, if corrosion is found it should be
rectified immediately.
4. Check generally for leaks or drips.
5. Check that all pipe work connected to the tank is suitably braced.
6. Check that the structural supports under the tank are in good condition.
7. When cleaning the inside of the tank, do not interfere with the joint seals.
8. Check that an overflow is filled. If overflow and/or air inlet screens are fitted, check that they have
not become blocked.
9. If insulated check that insulation and the manhole is securely fixed and not damaged,
damaged then the tank is not in compliance with GB/T 5750.8-2006.
10. If not insulated in accordance with GB/T 5750.8-2006, ensure that people cannot consume water
from the tank. We can advise on upgrading the tank to Byelaw 30 standard.
11. If there is a Condensation Tray with the tank, ensure that it has an overflow fitted and that it has
not been damaged.
12. If there are ladders fitted to the tank, ensure that they have not been damaged and are
securely fastened to the tank.
13. If the tank has a light duty cover and sited out of doors, check that the cover has not suffered
structural damage. (This type of cover is not suitable for potable water, outdoor use or for the
storage of water for use in buildings).
14. If the area underneath / adjacent to the tank has become water sensitive check that the tank room is
bunded with adequate escape ducts.
15. If the tank room is bunded, check that it is in good condition.
16. With tanks for drinking water, check that the water surface is clean and shiny and that the water
doesn’t contain any debris or contamination.

7. MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SECTIONAL TANKS

Sectional Tank:

Rectangular fixed container assembled from panels for the storage of water at atmospheric pressure.

Nominal Capacity:

Volume contained in a tank, measured up to the top edge of the side walls.

Actual Capacity:

Volume contained in a tank, measured up to the maximum working level, this can be between 10 and 50% less

than the Nominal Capacity.

Bund Wall:

Structure situated underneath water tanks. It’s purpose is to protect the building from water damage. All water

tanks located above areas that are water sensitive should be bunded.

Vent:

Opening to the atmosphere to allow for the movement of air resulting from changes in the water level so That the

water always remains at atmospheric pressure.

Warning Pipe:

Pipe so fixed that it’s outlet, whether inside or outside a building, is in a conspicuous position were the

discharge of water can be readily seen.

Overflow Pipe:

Pipe connected to the tank to discharge any overflow therefrom.

Division Plate:

Construction of one or more panels within a tank which divides the tank into two separate compartments.

Note: In any situation where there is only one water storage tank in a building, it is to be recommend that a weir
or a division plate be used. This will facilitate maintenance of the tank without effecting the water supply to the
building.

Page 13 of 14
 Installation and Maintenance Instructions

Weir:

Construction of one or more panels within a tank, which divides the tank but to less than its full depth such
that the contents can spill over from one side of the weir to the other.

Baffle:

Construction of one or more panels within a tank, which partially subdivides the tank in order to increase the
length of the flow path between the inlet and the outlet from the tank.

Leakage Test:

Before we fill water,we have to go leakage testing:

Step 1: Oil testing

1.Test the welding position, spray the kerosene or diesel along the welding connection.

After spraying with kerosene or diesel, kindly check opposite side of spaying (less than 3 minutes), If there
are no oil stains, it means no leaking.

Step 2: Water testing

The duration of the test should be a minimum of 24 hours, commencing at least 2 hours after the tank has been
filled. The test shall be carried out within 10 days of erection unless the manufacturer agrees to a longer period
after assembly. The tank should be inspected at regular intervals and not deserted during commissioning (first
filling with water).
