RELOCATABLE TANK
A relocatable tank, and method of constructing same, have a plurality of precast wall panels retained by a cable tensioning system between a plurality of support members to form a continuous, preferably generally circular, wall. At least some of the support members comprise at least one aperture and at least one elongate slot to receive respective cables of the tensioning system to retain a shape of the tank. The tank can be easily assembled at a site with prefabricated parts and easily deconstructed when no longer needed and be relocated and reinstalled in a range of sizes if desired. The relocatable tank is typically installed on a compacted earthen pad with no requirement for a concrete footing, unless the tank is used in regions with high seismic or wind activity. A liner system comprised of either a single or double arrangement is installed to fluidly seal the tank. The inclusion of water ballast tubes means no minimum liquid level is required to secure the liner in a designated position.
