Q: Can you outline the basic procedure for using your jacking system?
A: Absolutely. The process is streamlined for efficiency:
System Setup: Jacks are strategically positioned around the tank's foundation and connected to the lifting lugs on the tank wall.
Connection: All jacks are linked via high-pressure hoses to the central hydraulic power unit and control computer.
Pre-Lift Check: The system is pressurized, and a preliminary check ensures all jacks are engaged and communicating.
Lifting Operation: The operator initiates the lift from the control console. The system automatically lifts the shell in precise, incremental steps.
Slide & Repeat: Once the wall is lifted high enough, a new course of steel plates is slid underneath, welded, and the process repeats until the tank reaches its full height.
