摘要:

Steel water storage tanks that are properly maintained can remain useful for decades. Maintenance is often performed on a regular basis, whether it is needed or not. In other instances, maintenance is performed only when a municipal board of directors or utility manager is warned by a maintenance contractor os imminent tank failure. Most of those who could climb have neither the experience nor technical background to know what to look for once they get to the top of the tank. To correct these problems, a professional approach to tank maintenance was developed. This approach, which has proven to be very successful, is discussed in this article.

摘要:

When tank levels must be read individually, floating tank‐level indicators may be used. If indicators are clearly marked, tank levels can be read at a glance, saving operators time and trouble. Materials required to build the floating tank‐level indicators and costs involved are presented.

摘要:

This article shows two examples of where safety precautions were not exercised. One incident resulted in the death of two men who were killed when a painter's scaffold collapsed inside an elevated storage tank. The other example discussed in this article is a pump that was destroyed when a passing tractor trailer truck flipped the discharge hose up in the air jerking the pump out of the vault.
