Challenge

The client had selected a location for the new firewater tank to maintain proper pressures to the refinery firewater system without the addition of pumps. Engineering asked us for constructibility of new foundation and execution.

Solution

While the original design showed removing hillside and importing new structural fill material from local quarries for the foundation, we processed the existing removed material for uses as the structural fill.
