12' and 15' Bulk Feed Tank Series and Grain Hopper Tank Series
Selecting the Proper Site
The selected site should be level, firm and free from underlying debris. The tank can be installed
satisfactorily on slopes, but as the slope increases, additional labor and materials are required for the
foundation. The concrete foundation surfaces must be level. If some fill is required, it should be watered
and tamped thoroughly to prevent uneven settling from the weight of the tank. Good water drainage should
be provided to prevent water collecting under or around the tank. The site must allow convenient access
for loading and unloading and plus provide additional space for future units. Also, consider the positioning
of handling equipment, availability of electricity, etc.
