Accessories: Anchoring Systems
Deadmen:
Containment Solutions can provide deadmen anchors and turnbuckles for selected models of tanks. Deadmen anchors provide a means to prevent installed fiberglass tanks from floating out of the ground when the tank installation is subject to ground water around the tank. Deadmen anchors, when used with CSI fiberglass hold-down straps and other CSI or contractor supplied hardware and installed according to CSI installation instructions, prevent tank flotation and cost less than a concrete pad under the tank.
Turnbuckles:
The CSI deadmen and turnbuckles can usually be shipped with 4', 6' and 8' tanks at no additional charge. Deadmen are available in various lengths and are designed with and without eyebolts. Ask for "Deadmen Anchors and Turnbuckles" publication to select the proper deadman for a particular tank size.
Split-Strap Anchor System:
Containment Solutions can provide a split-strap anchor system for 6', 8' and 10' diameter Single-Wall Tanks. The split-strap anchor system provides a method to attach and tighten the tank anchor straps to deadmen or to an anchor pad without entry into the excavation. The split-strap anchor system is safer and less costly than traditional methods that require shoring or other hole stabilization techniques to allow entry into the excavation.
Fiberglass Anchoring Straps:
When mechanical anchoring is specified, fiberglass anchoring straps are available for all single-wall tanks.
