DESIGN PARAMETERS
The Precast Concrete Tanks are carefully engineered to withstand all structural, environmental, and handling conditions to ensure long-term reliability and performance.
LATERAL EARTH PRESSURE
Designed for dry and wet soil conditions based on water table level and surrounding soil type to ensure stability.
WATER PRESSURE
Considered for internal and external pressure during full and empty tank conditions to prevent cracking or leakage.
LIVE LOAD SURCHARGE
Designed for vehicle and maintenance loads as per IRC standards where applicable over top cover slabs.
WIND & SEISMIC LOADS
Accounted for based on location, soil zone, and type of structure to ensure performance under natural forces.
DEAD LOADS & UPLIFT PRESSURE
Includes self-weight, cover slab loads, and uplift pressure under empty tank conditions.
SELF-WEIGHT & HANDLING STRESSES
Considered for lifting from moulds, transportation, and erection to prevent damage during handling.
LIVE LOAD OVER COVER SLABS
Designed for vehicular and structural loads on top slabs as per standard loading conditions and IRC guidelines.
DESIGN CODES & STANDARDS
All designs follow IS 456, IS 3370 (Part 1): 2009, IRC Codes, and Precast Concrete Institute (PCI) Guidelines ensuring compliance with national and international standards.
Loads considered in the design for below ground tanks
