Precise AutoCAD drawings enable engineers to perform accurate structural calculations, ensuring the tank can withstand hydrostatic pressure, seismic loads, wind uplift, and thermal expansion. Drawings must account for panel thickness variations—ranging from 5mm for smaller tanks up to 22mm for large-capacity installations—based on water pressure and tank height.
On-site installation teams follow the AutoCAD drawings step by step. The installation process begins with verifying channel steel positions against the basic design drawings, followed by bottom plate assembly, side panel installation, and top cover fitting. The drawing must indicate clear spacing requirements—typically 60 cm from floor to tank bottom and 60 cm from wall to tank side.
Ensure the AutoCAD drawing shows independent pipe supports. The GRP tank skin is not designed to bear the heavy dead weight of filled copper, steel, or HDPE pipe manifolds.
