FRP Building Products Used for Tank Farm Roof Canopy Structure
Location: Florida, USA |
Project: Acid Storage Tank Cover |
Product: TuffSpan™ FRP Panels
The acid storage tanks require overhead cover and protection from rain and weather. The project was to replace the previous canopy constructed of steel materials that experienced acid corrosion due to the highly aggressive, chemical environment. The roofing panels and primary/secondary structural members will continuously be exposed to chemical vapors, high humidity and Florida’s high wind pressure and weather. To eliminate corrosion concerns and realize significant life-cycle cost savings, the client needed materials that would stand up to the application’s corrosive elements. Another important element for the client was to have an aesthetically pleasing, light-transmitting cladding with increased UV stabilization.
