For skid-mounted gas stations, equipment construction and installation is absolutely the most critical step in the operation process. This involves not only installation issues but also safety concerns. Therefore, skid-mounted gas station construction and installation must be carried out meticulously and carefully. Let's take a closer look at the seven steps involved in skid-mounted gas station construction and installation.
1. Excavation and compaction of the deep foundation pit.
2. Concrete structure and diamond engineering projects.
3. Backfill soil, compacted mechanically, with a backfill layer exceeding 500mm.
4. Sand cushion layer, using medium- to coarse-grained sand, laid to a thickness of 200-250mm, using a tablet vibrator to apply water and compact.
5. Asphalt sand cushion layer: This layer is made of medium- and coarse-grained sand and No. 60A modified asphalt. It is laid and leveled in layers to a thickness of 80-100 mm. The top of the tank's base wall slopes from the center to the perimeter at a gradient of 15-35‰.
6. Slope protection: After the tank undergoes a pressure test, slope protection is constructed. The width of the slope protection is 800-100 mm. Asphalt mastic is used to seal the gap between the slope protection and the tank floor.
Specialized prefabricated ground anchors are used for easy and efficient installation. They can be laid directly under the driveway to a depth of up to 2.1 meters, eliminating the need for concrete structures to protect the tank. Backfill with 3-12 mm gravel is sufficient.
