well,if you add the part on the surface of the earth,it will be 4ft 6". The 3ft 6" is the part that is buried into the earth

Sent these down to the owner at Abeokuta Ogun State this night

Is 3ft 6” a normal depth no matter the total height of the tank stand or the depth reduces as the total height reduces?

the depth increases as the height increases. Another thing to consider is the soil of the site

Travelled to Enugu yesterday for the tank stand job. The materials were delivered to site this morning.

Dug the foundation and will move forward to casting it tomorrow

The debt of the foundation is 4ft. The foundation rods also are 4ft.

What happens is that I do concrete floor (blinding) of at least 8" then drop the rods inside and start pouring the concrete.

Later, I will do a wall using planks around the holes which will compensate for the 8" that went into the floor

Hello Michlins, would you consider 3ft foundation enough for a 15ft tank stand? 18ft steel pipe tank stand in total ; 3ft in the ground and 15ft above ground. 2 1500 litres GP tank at the top and 1 1500litre GP tank at the middle. For a bungalow.

please don't use pipe.

Rather use 4 by 2 H channel. It's stronger and more durable and even less expensive

Waoo!

ice4u999:
Waoo!

yes sir. Don't

Today started well. Had three labourers hit the site and started concrete mixing

Due to expected height and weight, this foundation was interconnected

Smoothened the surface for better levelling and aesthetics too
