Common tank efection usually from bottom to top structure but sometimes in ceftain location its possible to apply such of tank farm live plant which is hot work not allowed in certain elevation so orther cerection methode should be developed in this concition such as application of water curtain, welding habitat ete, ‘But most efective methode is bullding it from top to bottom by using jacking equipment, in this posting T'm not going to discuss about the erection method since there are so many article and video ‘youtube with clear explanation, I'd like to share my previous experience how to decide required aty of jacking tools base on structural simulation.
