How 800-foot concrete tank was lifted 100 feet
Novel method of constructing 400,000 gal concrete water tank was carried out in English industrial project; important structural feature is 100 ft high by 21 1/2 ft diam main tower shaft; it is supported by 4 1/2 ft high plinth leaving pockets for ends of main lifting rods in plinth; main tank weighed 800 tons and was raised 100 ft above point at which it was cast; 4 separate stages were needed in lifting procedure which took 5 days to complete.
