Fast Anchoring System for Tanks

A lightweight fiberglass anchor base is our solution to many inefficiencies that arise from using traditional concrete deadman systems for underground storage tanks, such as freight, reception and storage, shipping to customers, handling difficulties, long installation time and security concerns for the construction team. This new fiberglass deadman anchor or as we name it, Fast Anchoring System for Tanks (F.A.S.T), is made to solve all those harsh ways of working in an efficient way.

Installing an underground storage tank normally requires securing the premises, digging a hole with angled or vertical walls, lowering and leveling the concrete bases, lowering the reservoir, securing the straps, attaching them, and tightening them on the bases. All this is within a limited area, with the hazards that it entails. F.A.S.T. reduces installation time and inherent hazards. It is a one-step operation that will reduce costs and increase productivity. This innovative system comes with straps and fiberglass bases that could be attached to the tank prior to shipment, already loaded on the truck, and ready for being lowered into place. All the work is done at ground level, which accelerates, facilitates, and secures operations.

This design is the result of frequent design revisions, FE analysis, 3D printed models, prototypes, laboratory trials and real in situ field testing within years of development. From the early concepts till the final product, the engineering team at Pultrusion Technique Inc. utilized the most advanced techniques to achieve the unique features of this new anchoring system.

An innovative design for a lightweight, yet rigid, anchoring system using fiberglass deadman.
A pioneering system that beats all the alternatives in the market both in terms of performance and efficiency.
A fiberglass deadman that weighs only %10 of the weight of a traditional concrete deadman, making it an easy-to-align option by workers even without a crane or lift.
A combo that saves a considerable amount of time in handling and installation.
