Steel Water Storage Tanks

The first comprehensive steel tanks book published in more than a decade Developed by members of the American Water Works Association (AWWA) General Steel Tank Committee, Steel Water Storage Tanks: Design, Construction, Maintenance, and Repair is the most authoritative source of industry information available. This in-depth reference describes the use of steel tanks for potable water storage and includes details on tank sizes, capabilities, styles, construction, appurtenances, site selection, design, operation, maintenance, rehabilitation, inspection, and security. Complete coverage of: Tank history, typical configurations, locating, sizing, and selecting Selecting and specifying appurtenances Controlling corrosion Contractual considerations Foundations Construction of welded-steel water-storage tanks Construction of bolted-steel water-storage tanks Operation Inspecting new-tank construction Maintenance, inspection, and repair Potable water security Tank rehabilitation

This manual of practice describes the use of steel tanks for potable water storage. The comprehensive manual covers tank sizes, capacities, styles, cathodic protection, construction, appurtenances, site selection, design, operation, maintenance, and inspection.

Introductory technical guidance for civil and environmental engineers interested in treated water storage. Here is what is discussed: 1. GENERAL 2. TYPES OF STORAGE 3. DETERMINATION OF CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS 4. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF WATER STORAGE FACILITIES APPENDIX A: REFERENCES APPENDIX B: TYPICAL DESIGN EXAMPLES.

The purpose of this standard is to provide the minimum requirements for sacrificial anode cathodic protection systems for the interior submerged surfaces of steel water storage tanks, including design, system components, quality of work, installation, operation, and maintenance. This standard can be referenced in specifications for designing and installing sacrificial anode cathodic protection systems for the interior submerged surfaces of steel water storage tanks. The stipulations of this standard apply when referenced and then only to sacrificial anode cathodic protection systems for the interior submerged surfaces of steel water storage tanks.

This standard describes coating systems for coating and recoating the inside and outside surfaces of steel tanks used for potable water storage in water supply service. Coating systems for new bolted steel tanks are not described in this standard (see ANSI/AWWA D103). The major revisions to this edition of the standard are too numerous to list here and can be found in the Foreword section of the standard.
