XERXES @ f-'MM SPF � L.TJI! iUN 2 r) 2017 a zCL company Ell`iRONI ENTP�� HEALTH Tank AncAorn, VSI- stem An engineered solution Xerxes recognizes that the components of a tank anchoring system can be critical to a reliable, long-term tank installation. A large percentage of today's underground tank installations are anchored, whether site conditions mandate it or not. Use of inferior components, such as improperly designed or undersized concrete deadmen, can lead to disastrous results. As a solution, we designed and began supplying each of the components essential to proper tank anchoring, prefabricated deadmen, galvanized turnbuckles and extruded fiberglass hold-down straps. Providing a safe, dependable anchoring solution is not our only objective. The Xerxes anchoring package is also designed to provide installers with a quick, easy to install package of components that expedites the overall installation. The Xerxes tank anchoring system is yet another example of product innovations that Xerxes has been offering customers for more than three decades. Consider the following features and benefits: Flexible Design —Xerxes prefabricated deadmen were engineered -with ease of shipping and installation in mind. With their unique and patented design, which incorporates adjustable galvanized steel anchor points, installers can properly align each anchor point and hold-down strap after the tank and deadmen have been set in place. An Engineered Product — Tank installers and owners can have the confidence that prefabricated deadmen, an often overlooked yet critical component of an anchored tank installation, have been properly engineered and sized for each tank. Xerxes precast deadmen are fabricated to meet American Concrete Institute (ACI) design standards, which establishes such things as proper steel reinforcement, concrete psi specifications and adequate cure time. Transportation — An additional feature of Xerxes deadmen is that their geometry and dimensions allow them, in most cases, to be placed on the same shipping trailer as the tank. For installers, this means that the components of the anchoring system arrive with the tank, avoiding the potential for jobsite delays. A Complete System — Combined, Xerxes supplied fiberglass hold-down straps, galvanized turnbuckles and prefabricated deadmen provide a complete anchoring package. With each component specifically designed and supplied by Xerxes, facility owners have the added peace -of -mind that in addition to having installed the industries' finest storage tank, they have also installed a reliable anchoring system. making a lasting difference"
