DEADMEN ANCHORS <br /> AND TURNBUCKLES <br /> CONTAINMENT For Use with Containment Solutions <br /> SOLUTIONS Fiberglass Underground Tanks <br /> INSTALLATION & SPECIFICATION <br /> 1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION <br /> Containment Solutions, Inc. (CSI) can provide pre-fabricated deadmen anchors and turnbuckles for standard <br /> models of single-wall, double-wall and triple-wall underground fiberglass storage tanks. Deadmen anchors <br /> provide a means to prevent installed fiberglass tanks from floating out of the ground when the tank installation <br /> is subject to ground water around the tank. Deadmen anchors,when used with CSI fiberglass hold down straps <br /> and other CSI or contractor supplied hardware and installed according to CSI installation instructions, prevent <br /> tank flotation and cost less than a concrete pad under the tank. <br /> The CSI deadmen and turnbuckles can be shipped with most 4', 6', 8', and 10' diameter tanks at no additional <br /> charge. Deadmen anchors shipped separately will be shipped with freight costs extra. Please consult your CSI <br /> representative for details. <br /> These instructions supplement the anchoring section of CSI's Installation Instructions for fiberglass reinforced <br /> plastic underground storage tanks (pub. no. INST 6001). <br /> 1.1 FEATURES <br /> Deadmen are available in various lengths and are designed with adjustable anchor points. <br /> CSI supplied deadmen allow the connection of the fiberglass hold down strap end to the deadman anchor point using <br /> wire rope,turnbuckles, or other mechanical connections. The deadmen are manufactured with slots that allow the <br /> anchor points to be easily moved along the deadmen for alignment with tank anchor points during installation. <br /> The deadmen type, lengths, and the number of anchor points are dependent upon the tank diameter, model, and <br /> capacity. Deadmen are not available for all compartment tank sizes.
