ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a method for dismantling a cylindrical tank, comprising steps of separating the sidewall of the tank from its bottom plate, cutting the sidewall into portions along a spiral line provided on the periphery of the tank in the direction from the lower end to the upper end, and removing the portions while temporarily supporting the sidewall, said temporary supporting step being conducted so that the lower end of the removed portion is gradually lowered and the location to support the sidewall shifts as the removing step proceeds. According to this invention, one can safely and inexpensively dismantle a cylindrical tank. The method of this invention can be used even if some structures exist in the peripheral area of the cylindrical tank. Further, this method does not need a step for providing rotatably movable means or a step for rotating the upper part of the tank, resulting in a simple method that is easy to implement.
