Anchoring Tanks for Secure Installations
Some site conditions — such as potential for a high water table or trapped water — require tank anchoring or overburden to offset buoyancy and secure the tank. Xerxes’ highly engineered anchoring system provides customers what they need to obtain reliable, long-term anchoring of their fuel tanks. Many owners and installers use this system for the extra security or anchored tanks even when site conditions don’t require it.
Cost savings start at shipping and continue through life of installation
Prefabricated deadmen are more cost-effective than a concrete pad. Other savings can include energy and transportation costs because the anchoring system can often be shipped on the same truck as the tank. This has the added benefit of avoiding installation delays that happen when the tank and anchoring components arrive at different times.
