ABSTRACT:
A method of constructing an elevated liquid storage tank is disclosed wherein an upright, cylindrical, reinforced concrete shell is erected using a centrally located co-axial scaffold having a concentric working platform slideably mounted thereon, and a working crane mounted on the top of the scaffold. An annular steel tank is fabricated concentrically about the base of the upright cylindrical shell. The tank has floor and roof openings for the upright shell to pass therethrough. The tank is raised to the top of the upright shell, and a reinforced concrete tank floor is poured to sealingly close the tank floor opening. The concrete tank floor interlocks with the upright shell to secure the tank in position.
