4. GENERAL INFORMATION
Selecting the Proper Site
The selected site should be level, firm and free from underlying debris. The tank can be installed
satisfactorily on slopes, but as the slope increases, additional labor and materials are required
for the foundation. The concrete foundation surfaces must be level. If some fill is required, it
should be watered and tamped thoroughly to prevent uneven settling from the weight of the tank.
Good water drainage should be provided to prevent water collecting under or around the tank.
Naturally, the site must allow convenient access for easy loading and unloading, plus provide
additional space for future units. Also, consider the positioning of handling equipment, availability
of electricity, etc.
