Tank bottom course replacement 2

[chenguemorales]

Hi everybody,

We have a storage tank of acid that, due to corrosion, we have to replace entire bottom and the first shell course. The rest of courses and the supported roof are ok.

For that reason I asking for advises to support the tank while we are replacing that parts. For your consideration, the tank has 10 meters of diameter and a height of 9 meters, also it has a supported roof.

Any advise will be very welcome.

Thanks!

The tank fabricators will generally cut an access hole into the side of the tank. The fabricators will also weld clips on the tank walls to hold the tank up and allow the bottom plates to be slid under the tank wall. The bottom ring will probably be replaced in sections rather than replacing the entire bottom ring at one time.
