26、 thermosetting resins used for the underground non-pressure storage of liquid petroleum based fuels, complying with the requirements of EN 976-1. Ancillary equipment vital to the satisfactory operation of the installation comprising access chamber, cover and frame are also described. 2 Normative ref

29、 storage of liquid petroleum based fuels Part 1: Requirements and test methods for single wall tanks 3 Definitions For the purposes of this standard the following definitions apply: 3.1 cylinder Part of the tank that forms the cylindrical portion of the body. 3.2 end Curved portions of the tank loca

30、ted at the ends of the cylindrical portion. 3.3 cylinder reinforcing ribs Circumferential external ribs fully bonded to the cylinder or integrally formed with it. 3.4 compartment Portion of the tank created by an internal partition. 3.5 manway Hole in the uppermost portion of the cylinder or tank al

31、lowing access. 3.6 manway lid Plate bolted to the manway. 3.7 access chamber Chamber to provide access to the manway lid. 3.8 anchorage positions Clearly marked positions on the tank which can be used as the location of the holding down straps used to anchor the tank. 3.9 anchorage points Positions

32、to which the holding down straps can be secured. 3.10 holding down straps Straps used to hold down the tank. 3.11 backfill Non-cohesive, granular material used to surround the tank and provide support and restraint. 3.12 excavation Pit into which one or more tanks may be installed. 3.13 tank install

33、er Company responsible for the tank installation. 3.14 manufacturer Company creating and selling the tank complying with EN 976-1. 3.15 sleepers; deadmen Concrete beams laid parallel to the tank axis which allow the soil weight above the beams to be utilized in tank anchoring (see figure B.4). 3.16

34、lifting position Position on the tank used for lifting purposes. 3.17 water table Permanent, short term tidal or frequently changing water level below ground level at the tank location which marks the upper level of the zone of groundwater saturation. 3.18 high water table Site with a water table ha

35、ving the depth below ground to the average seasonal water level of between 0 and 4 m. 3.19 tank Tank complying with EN 976-1. 3.20 visual inspection Examination of the tank by the unaided eye. 3.21 sheet pile Timber or steel sheeting used to support the sides of an excavation. 4 Transport The tank s

36、hall be placed on the transporter ensuring that it is not placed on any sharp protrusions that will cause damage. Suitable cradles or checks shall be used. The tank shall be secured on the vehicle by means of GRP , nylon or similar non-metallic straps. The straps shall only be tightened sufficiently

37、 so as to prevent tank movement. Care shall be taken not to overtighten the straps and cause damage of the tank.Page 4 EN 976-2 : 1997 BSI 1997 Figure 1. Handling of tanks 5 Handling When demounting the tanks from the transporter the tank shall only be lifted by devices provided by the tank manufact

38、urer or at lifting positions marked on the tank using non-metallic straps or webbing, see figure 1. Control of the tank whilst suspended shall be effected by the use of guide ropes. 6 Storage If stored on site the tanks shall be stored on a level surface free from sharp protrusions and supported to

39、prevent local damage. The storage location shall be selected so as to minimize accidental damage. Tanks shall be chocked. 7 Tank certification Prior to installation the installer shall obtain from the manufacturer (or third party certification body) a certificate certifying that the tank complies wi

40、th EN 976-1. 8 Installation procedure 8.1 Preliminary checks Prior to the commencement of installation, the native soil conditions should be determined and recorded and the installation type selected as defined in annex B. The type of ground will determine the dimensions of the excavation, the need

41、for any earth work support or geotextiles. The paths of underground or overhead services shall be identified and where necessary diverted prior to the commencement of work.Page 5 EN 976-2 : 1997 BSI 1997 Table 1. Excavation dimensions Normal installation Installation with traffic load a 500 to 2 000

42、 mm 650 to 2 000 mm 1 000 to 2 000 mm (min. 200 mm backfill) (backfill plus (backfill plus asphalt reinforced concrete) or paving slabs) b Stable soil: min. 450 mm Stable soil: min. 450 mm Unstable soil: min. 1/2 diameter Unstable soil: min. 1/2 diameter NOTE. Traffic load is based on a single wheel

43、 load of 8 tons. 8.2 Preparation of the excavation Set out the excavation. Begin the excavation taking care not to undermine existing structures nor damage underground services. All excavated material shall be removed from the immediate vicinity of the excavation to ensure it does not contaminate th

44、e backfill. Keep the excavation dry by using pumps where necessary. Level the excavation base. 8.3 Ground works When the ground has been classified as unstable then preventative measures such as battering back or sheet piling should be taken to prevent inward collapse of the side walls into the exca

45、vation. When sheet piling is used care shall be taken to ensure that neither tank nor back fill material is disturbed by sheeting removal. Voids behind the sheeting and voids created by sheeting removal must be filled with backfill compacted to required density. It is advised to pull the sheeting in

46、 stages as backfilling progresses to allow the backfill to be properly placed and compacted against the native pit walls. 8.4 Excavation dimensions a) Stable soils The excavation shall be large enough to provide a minimum of 450 mm between the excavation sides and the walls and ends of the tank(s) a

47、nd 450 mm between tank(s). b) Unstable soils The excavation shall be large enough to provide a minimum of 1/2 diameter between the excavation sides and the walls and ends of the tanks and 450 mm between tanks, except when permanent sheet piles are used to confine the excavation. The excavation shall

48、 provide for the minimum cover (see 8.19) of backfill above the tanks and minimum 200 mm below. The maximum allowable cover above the tanks is 2 m. The depth shall take into account any falls provided in the delivery pipework. See table 1 and figures 2 and 3. 8.5 Geotextiles In cases of unstable gro

49、und as defined in annex B, clause B.4, or where ground water conditions could lead to migration of the backfill material, a geotextile filter fabric shall be installed. The geotextile shall be laid in accordance with the geotextile manufacturers instructions. The geotextile shall extend under any base slab a minimum of 300 mm. Alternatively, the geotextile can be placed over the base slab a minimum of 1000 mm and covered by backfill. Where sleepers are used the geotextile shall pass underneath the sleepers and cover t
