Anchoring system adds to long-term stability of tank installation
In installation sites that have the potential for trapped water or a high water table, Xerxes’ highly engineered anchoring system provides customers with the products they need to obtain reliable, long-term anchoring of their fuel tanks. Even when site conditions don’t require it, many owners and installers use our system so they have the extra security that comes with anchored tanks. Use of anchoring components that are improperly designed, poorly manufactured or incorrectly sized can compromise the long-term security of an installation.
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.
