Use of inferior <br /> components, such as improperly designed or undersized concrete deadmen, can lead to disastrous results. As a solution, we <br /> designed and began supplying each of the components essential to proper tank anchoring, prefabricated deadmen, galvanized <br /> turnbuckles and extruded fiberglass hold-down straps. Providing a safe, dependable anchoring solution is not our only objective. <br /> The Xerxes anchoring package is also designed to provide installers with a quick,easy to install package of components that expedites <br /> the overall installation.The Xerxes tank anchoring system is yet another example of product innovations that Xerxes has been offering <br /> customers for more than three decades. <br /> i� <br /> Consider the following features and benefits: <br /> Flexible design—Xerxes prefabricated deadmen were engineered with ease of shipping and installation in mind.With their <br /> unique and patented design,which incorporates adjustable galvanized steel anchor points, installers can properly align each <br /> G <br /> anchor point and hold-down strap after the tank and deadmen have been set in place. <br /> An Engineered Product—Tank installers and owners can have the confidence that prefabricated deadmen,an often overlooked <br /> yet critical component of an anchored tank installation, have been properly engineered and sized for each tank. Xerxes precast <br /> deadmen are fabricated to meetAmerican Concrete Institute(ACI)design standards,which establishes such things as proper steel <br /> reinforcement, concrete psi specifications and adequate cure time. <br /> Transportation -- An additional feature of Xerxes deadmen is that their geometry and dimensions allow them, in most <br /> cases, to be placed on the same shipping trailer as the tank. For installers,this means that the components of the anchoring <br /> system arrive with the tank, avoiding the potential for jobsite delays. <br /> A Complete System -- Combined, Xerxes supplied fiberglass hold-down straps, galvanized turnbuckles and prefabricated <br /> deadmen provide a complete anchoring package.
