ABSTRACT:
An improved storage system and a method of constructing the storage system adaptably satisfies structural requirements in different seismic zones. The storage system is efficiently constructed to restrain movement of a storage tank within a vault, even if the storage tank is positioned such that all sides of the tank are not physically accessible. Within the outer containment vault, a plurality of structural members and bottom restraints restrict movement of a storage tank relative to the vault. The structural member has two depending restraints, one on each side of the storage tank to wedge the storage tank in place. Additionally, the bottom restraints are structurally connected to the bottom of the vault and positioned in close proximity to the side of the tank to further restrain movement of the tank. Different sized storage systems may be constructed in compliance with seismic requirements by modifying the number and size of the structural members and bottom restraints within a particular storage system.
