Ducts around API tanks
Ducts around API tanks
(OP)
Hello friends, I am supervising the construction of an API 650 tank farm. Our contractor has installed electrical ducts around the tank bases at about 12" from the walls, I didn´t find it in the code, but we never saw them installed this way, any experience on it?

Please see the picture attached on the right on top of the concrete ring you can see the electrical conduits.

Generally these are instrumentation and lighting - low voltage and amperage. It is common to locate these as shown in your pictures.
Thanks DavidR
