INSTALL AERATION FLOOR SUPPORTS
Reference manufacturer’s tank aeration drawing for general construction
guidelines and details. See also the example on the following page and
drawing #12682 on page 7 for additional suggested flush floor support
details. Cut ½” stabilizing rod into suitable lengths to join the supports
together. This length will depend on the number of supports and the
width of the tunnel. Field weld every four feet alternating top and bottom.
See “Typical Support Layout” drawing #12682 for details. Contractor or
installer may have experience with another cut schedule that works
better.
NOTE: Field weld all support joints.
NOTE: Supports will need to be trimmed to fit around the Tunnel
Stiffener (if required). DO NOT WELD SUPPORTS TO TUNNEL
STIFFENER.
