SECTIONAL PANEL TANK

KPIC - ‘HOT PRESSED‘ GRP SECTIONAL PANEL TANK GRP ‘Hot Pressed’ Sectional Panel Tank has an excellent corrosion-resis-tant panels, the surface of the tank is uniformly smooth without any mass growth, therefore enable long-term use as the panels inhibit the prolif-eration of bacteria and other various germs by perfectly blocking all light from outside.

Sectional tank utilizes horizontal and vertical space at the maximum and those are suitable for tanks of large capacities. It operates a corner-type system.

STANDARD SPECIFICATION

• UV Protection: Incorporated in the SMC formulation. Ensures long panel life.

• Smooth Finish on Both Sides: Smooth gelcoat like finish on both sides. Ensures hygiene, does not har-bor foreign matter. Easy cleaning of the tanks.

• Tolerance + 0.50 mm: Accurately drilled and aligned bolt holes. Uni-form compression of the gasket throughout the flange length.

• 100% Cure of GRP (Hot Press):Min-imum distortion of panel flanges. Negligible residual styrene suitable for storing potable water.

• Maintenance Free Panel Finish: Eliminates painting of the external tank surface.

• Matched Pressure Die Molding: Uniform thickness, void free panels. Guarantees uniformity of product

quality.• Opaque Molding: Eliminates light transmission

through panels. Eliminates possibility of algae & fungus growth.

Installation

To be carried out by KPIC approved installers, for warranty to be valid.

Insulation tape SEBS material WITH high densi-ty foam/butyl sealing strip to be used covering full width of panel flange providing a water tight seal.

Commissioning and Testing

Testing shall be carried out upon completion ofInstallation of a mechanical contractor and should be completed within ten working days of assembly. This shall include the final setting of float valves level switches and any other connec-tion which requires setting.

The testing and compliance of panels, sealant ,Connections and fixing shall be as listed in WRASWater Fittings and Materials Directory and cur-rent water regulations.

GRP Hot Pressed Sectional Panel

Tank is well assembled by KPIC

• For 2m height, internal bracing is

used.

• For 2.5m and above height, exter-

nal bracing is used.

• For 2m height, only L-angle is

used as external bracing.

• For 2.5m and above, using L-angle

for corner & additional U-channel

as external bracing. The rod is

used as external on top of panel

piece.

• For L-angle (corner external brac-

ing) is HDG (Hot Dipped Galva-

nized) and U channel (additional

external bracing) is epoxy paint-

ed.

1. Foundation: Foundation of Panel

Tanks must be prepared as per the

sketch provided by us.

2. After finishing the foundation:

Panel pieces will be joined with help

of Gasket and Nut Bolt Washers + Sil-

icon rubber sealant (food grade) for

added waterproofing.

3. In the process of connecting the

Panel pieces

• First is to connect the bottom

pieces and after preparing the

base (bottom panels)

• Side Panels should be connected with the

L-Angle.

L-Angle should be placed vertically at the cor-

ners of the tank.

4. After connecting the side at two faces rect-

angular connect the top including the main hole

and set 3” PVC support pipe vertically to provide

support to the top panels, lastly connect the re-

maining side pieces.

C-Channels - while connecting the side panels

c-channels should be connected with them to-

gether.

PANEL TANK

Internal Reinforcement StructureIn this system we use to provide strength with

panel tanks internally by putting SS 316 grade,

12mm SS Tie Rod. We use to put the tie rods at

a particular place where corners of four side

panels meet together .it is locked with stay

plate. Tie rod should be fixed after finishing all

the joining process of panel pieces

There are two system of bracing of panel tank:

4.1. Internal Reinforcement structure (tie rod).4.2. External Reinforcement structure (L-angle).

External Reinforcement StructureIn this system we use to provide strength ex-

ternally to the panel tank by putting u-chan-

nels at the every joint vertically and it is

locked from two places, at the bottom with

steel skid and at the top it is locked with tie

rods to avoid any displacement of u-channels.

Flange types and Detail for installation

Flange types

Base Support

Option 1 - Flat foundationFor KPIC tanks. Flat screen concrete founda-tion to be level and not vary more than2mm in any one meter, measured laterally or diagonally.

Option 2 - Close center beamsFor KPIC tanks may also be supported bySteel bearer beams.

Option 3 - Pier wallsFor KPIC tanks allowing self drain. 1m cen-ters required.

During the installation of SMC Water Tank of KPIC , the following regulations must be ob-served to ensure the safety and sanitation. The assembler is the owner responsibility on how they follow the below regulations.

1. All workers must absolutely wear safety shoes and hard hats during the process

2. All workers must wear clean & proper working cloths during the installation process.

3. When the installer is inside or on the ceiling panel, wear non-slips clean working shoes (with-out dust or other foreign substances).

4. In order to prevent accidents, parts weighing 25kg or more must be team lifted.

5. When a task is being performed by two or more workers proper guidance must be given.

6. When a task is being performed in a high area, use scaffolding with safety equipments to avoid accidents.

7. Inspection must be done in the workplace and bottom of the slab. Remove any potential hazards in advance to ensure safe installation.

8. When using a rope to hoist panels or parts of the tank to a high area, the worker must wear safety belt, and proper safety mea-sure must be observed.

9. When working on the ceiling of the tank, be cautious to avoid falling down by slipping on the surface.

10. Do not come in contact with the cable or iron bar at the construction site (danger of electric shock); removal must be done by the site engineer from owner side.

11. When using electric powered tools, do a prior check for electrical leaks such as power, outlet, plug, transformer, etc.

12. Working on a wet surface during rainy days creates a dangerous condition and risk of electric shock. Do not work under these conditions.

13. To protect eyes from sunlight during out-door work, wear light-colored sunglasses

14. Smoking is strictly prohibited during working time. Specially inside the tank.

Safety Rules for the Assembler

15. Inflammables must not be stored inside the tank, it can be stored in an isolated warehouse regular checking is advised.

16. When working on the rooftop of a high -rise building, wind speed is faster than on the ground, extra careful that panels may be few which can cause damage to materi-als & harms humans .

17. When lighting is needed in the work place, use a flashlight or a working lamp; do not use inflammables as a light source.

18. Loading is strictly prohibited inside the warehouse which material are being stored. If proper custody is needed , seek approval from the site manager. Separate area for loading should be provided.

19. Note that the panel can be cracked, scratched or damaged which depends on how it was handled during the installa-tion. Proper checking is needed.
