Our
panel systems may be applied to any storage tank where operating
temperatures do not exceed the system's limitations. First,
we inspect the existing tank surface condition. If the tank
is rusty, it will be reconditioned by sandblasting and priming
We ensute the primer will withstand the elevated tank surface
temperatures which will prevail after the installation has
been completed. If the tank has been recently primed and/or
painted, is free of rust, and is known to have been primed
and/or painted with materials capable of withstanding the
higher surface temperatures that will prevail after installation
of the insulation system, the panels may be installed without
further tank surface preparation. Tank temperature is not
critical during installation of the TufSeam panels.
Cold Tank Installation
Once the tank wall surface has been properly
prepared, stranded wire cables are secured circumferentially
to the tank with turn-buckles and pre-tensioned.
In-Service Installation: Because
the internal anchor system does not require welding, insulation
can be installed while the tank is in service.
Repairabiltiy: Any panel can
be repaired on site without affecting the integrity of the
system.
Appearance: Our panel system
offers outstanding esthetic characteristics, with a pleasing
vertical rib pattern. |
