To the one who has given us knowledge to do what we do without issues,we return all the glory.

I have been mobilised by two clients to construct a 40ft and 30ft tank stands.

The locations for the jobs are Aba Abia State and Nnewi Anambra State.

Kindly join me by commenting, liking and asking questions.

I will keep updating this thread daily as work progresses

These two jobs will run a bit concurrently but much focus will be on the 30ft job being that it came first.

The load capacity of the 30ft tank stand is for 2,000 gallons of water or 8,000 litres. How I want to achieve that is by using four (4) 500 gallons tank. Two (2) will be suspended at the top basket while the other two will be on subsequent baskets below

The materials to be used are as follows

5 by 3 H channels,3 by 1½ channels and 2" angle bars. These are the major materials. Nothing is written on stone about these but it was what was agreed with the client. Another thing to know is that the materials are more than enough to handle the weight of the load.

The weight of the individual tank with water is approximately 2,000kg. So multiplied by 4 should give you 8,000kg. Meanwhile the tank stand can carry more than 12,000kg.

It's better to overbuild than to do otherwise because of the problems that come with it

The materials for the job came in few days ago and we already started a bit of work on it

Welded some areas and they will be painted today

On the 40ft tank stand, the materials are as follows

6 by 3 H channels

4 by 2 H channels

It's to be noted that this particular tank stand is handling a much higher weight. It's expected to carry two(2) 1,000 gallons at the top basket and one(1) 750 gallons at the middle. The site of this job is at Obingwa, Aba Abia State.

The materials for this job is expected this morning

You are good in what you do, I will be watching and learning more. Well done.

1.45ml only

Started today by applying red oxide paint on the channels. This should prevent rusting of the iron. The final paint job will be when the job is completed

At the site, I got someone who dug the foundation for the 30ft tank.

I had them covered because rain was gathering heavily and I wouldn't want them to be filled up

The materials for the 40ft tank stand arrived this afternoon

Work started on it almost immediately as we need to be on site on or before Sunday

The whole jobs

Casted the foundation today. It was a tough one but it was completed regardless

Started by forming the wall around the foundation. Did a bit of carpentery work


Mixing the concrete
