Tank Foundation Systems

CEMATRIX Cellular concrete:

• provides cost-effective solutions.
• accelerates construction schedules.
• reduces on site work force requirements.
• is used to provide both the insulation and bearing support, for above ground storage tanks.
• is a monolithic material and will not slough along the perimeter.
• provides temperature reduction to the secondary containment liner, allowing installation of a less expensive liner.
• reduces tank settlement, by preventing desiccation and drying of the underlying soil.
• substantially reduces below grade heat loss, resulting in operating cost-effi ciencies.
• CEMATRIX offers geostructural and geothermal engineering assistance. Geothermal modeling will provide exact thermal reduction recommendations.
