Study Notes
Construction Specifications for Sumps and Tanks
- Sumps, condensers, and intercepting tanks constructed from concrete require a minimum wall and bottom thickness of 102 mm.
- The interior surface of these tanks must be cement plastered to a minimum thickness of 13 mm.
- Proper thickness is crucial for structural integrity and durability of these constructions.
- Cement plastering serves to enhance water resistance and prevent leakage within the tanks.
Construction Requirements for Concrete Tanks
- Sumps, condensers, and intercepting tanks must have concrete walls and bottoms with a minimum thickness of 102mm.
- The interior surface of these tanks requires plastering with cement that is at least 13mm thick.
- Proper thickness in construction is essential for structural integrity and durability, especially in fluid containment applications.
