7. Installation
For tanks and hoppers it is usually impossible to position mounting holes in load carrier resp. in the
foundation structure accurately enough to allow insertion of all mounting screws. The use of welding plates or
bolting plates, the latter having pre drilled extra large mounting holes, are therefore convenient methods to solve
this problem. Some of these alternatives are shown below.
Figure 1a shows how welding plates on top and on
bottom can be accurately installed using a welding
fixture.
Figure 1b shows how same welding plates can be
accurately installed without the use of a welding
fixture. The welding plates, in this case, are
delivered centered to one another with a pair of
“knock-off flats”. A requirement for this alternative is
that the load carrier can be lowered down deep
enough to apply tack welds to hold each of the
plates in position. When this has been done, the
flats are to be knocked off, load carrier lifted and
welding finalized (see addendum).
