Concrete manure tank

Concrete manure tank

Concrete manure tank

(OP)
Hi,

I'm looking for standards for round concrete manure tanks?

I would need the wall and floor thickness, concrete PSI and
reinforcement scheme.

Do I need a liner underneath, etc...

Don't really know where to look this up.

Thanks

Eric

RE: Concrete manure tank

Call your regulatory agency first. Then call your RCP manufacturer

Might suggest, too, that you contact the US conservation authority or the ag agency in your area.  They might have the information at hand.  Believe it or not, there are some pretty good ag specs that also cover engineering.  You could repost in the agricultural engineering forum.

RE: Concrete manure tank

You can get manholes made of HDPE and some fairly large pipe, too.  And they don't need a coating to protest them. Just ballastn to keep them from floating.
