fabrication works. Such areas are to be dry and kept free from hot work.
All materials shall be also visually inspected for any evidence of physical or weather-
related damage. Such damaged goods shall be rejected and replaced by material suppliers
immediately.

5. Procedure:

Option 1: Conventional Insulation & Cladding

A. Shell Area

a. Install preformed Poly urethane insulation slabs (35kg/m3 density, 125mm
thickness, with Aluminium foil facing, vertical ship-lapped edges) on the bare tank
surface. All joints shall be tightly fitted and sealed with 3 wide Aluminium foil
tape. FOSTER 30-45 joint sealants shall be used to seal all butt joints.

b. Further secure the insulation with 0.5x19mm SS bands and wing-seals, installed at
450mm spacing or a minimum of two bands per segment. All vertical joints on
further courses of installed insulation shall be staggered by a 200mm minimum.

c. Insulate the reinforcement ring provided at the junction of the shell and roof, with
19mm thick rubber foam insulation, installed with the help of a compatible
adhesive.

d. Below this provide a 25mm wide circumferential contraction joint. This
contraction joint shall consist of tightly packed Fiberglass wool insulation
(24kg/m3 density, 50mm thickness), further covered with 100mm wide butyl
rubber sheet, secured with two SS bands.

e. Install 40mmx1.2mm SS bands at approx. 2m pitch circumferentially on the
insulated shell to support the cladding.

f. Install plain Aluminium cladding sheets (0.8mm thick, stucco -embossed) using
SS rivets (4.8x13mm) at 150mm centers onto the installed SS bands. A minimum
overlap of 75mm shall be provided on all circumferential joints. Minimum overlap
of one corrugation shall be provided for all vertical sheet overlap.

g. Collar plates / flashing shall be fabricated from plane sheets. Cut-outs shall be
provided for all openings / protrusions. Cladding seams shall face downwards and
be sealed with FOSTER 95-44 for a weather-proof finish.


B. Roof Area

a. Install preformed Poly urethane insulation spacer blocks (100kg/m3 density,
150x100x100mm,) on the roof surface at 2m pitch, using FOSTER 81-33
adhesive.

b. Install preformed PIR insulation slabs (35kg/m3 density, 125mm thickness, with
Aluminium foil facing) on the balance roof surface. All joints shall be tightly fitted
and sealed with 3 wide Aluminium foil tape. FOSTER 81-33 shall be used to
bond the insulation onto the roof surface, while FOSTER 30-45 joint sealants shall
be used to seal all butt joints.

c. Install 30mmx2mm GI flat bars on the insulation spacers located on the roof to
provide radial supports for cladding.

d. Install plain Aluminium cladding sheets (0.8mm thick) using SS rivets
(4.8x13mm) at 150mm centers onto the flat bars. A minimum overlap of 50mm
shall be provided on all joints.

e. Collar plates / flashing shall be fabricated from plane sheets. Cut-outs shall be
provided for all openings / protrusions. Cladding seams shall face downwards and
be sealed with FOSTER 95-44 for a weather-proof finish.

f. Flashing at the edge of the roof shall be lock-formed for additional strength, and
then riveted on to the shell cladding. A minimum overlap of 150mm shall be
provided to prevent moisture ingress.

C. Shell Bottom

a. Install plain Aluminium sheet (0.8mm thick) flashing using SS rivets (4.8x13mm)
at 150mm centers onto the base of the tank. A minimum overlap of 150mm shall
be provided on this flashing to prevent moisture ingress.

b. Drill holes of suitable diameter at maximum 600mm intervals along the
circumference of this flashing. Now pour a freshly prepared mixture of chemicals
to achieve min. 125mm thick Poly urethane insulation

c. All drilled holes shall be sealed with Aluminium rivets or compatible plugs.
Cladding seams shall face downwards and be sealed with FOSTER 95-44 for a
weather-proof finish.

Option 2: Cladding and in-situ injected insulation

a. Install preformed Poly urethane insulation spacer blocks (100kg/m3 density,
150x100x100mm) on the shell and roof surface at 1m pitch, using FOSTER 81-33
adhesive.

b. Install floating ring fabricated from 6mm GI round bar over the center of the roof
and install GI flat bars (30mm x 3mm) over the insulated spacers and fasten to the
floating ring on the roof to provide radial supports for cladding.

c. Install plain Aluminium cladding sheets (0.8mm thick) using SS rivets
(4.8x13mm) at 150mm centers onto the Poly urethane spacers and using SS304
bands with wing seals. A minimum overlap of 50mm shall be provided on all
joints.

d. All cut-outs, opening etc. shall be provided for with close fitting collar plates.
Cladding seams shall face downwards and be sealed with FOSTER 95-44 for a
weather-proof finish. Butyl sealant strip shall be used on the circumferential sheet
joints on roof.

e. Drill holes of suitable diameter at maximum 600mm intervals along the
circumference of this flashing. Now inject a freshly prepared mixture of chemicals
to achieve min. 125mm thick Poly urethane insulation

f. All drilled holes shall be sealed with Aluminium rivets or compatible plugs.
Cladding seams shall face downwards and be sealed with FOSTER 95-44 for a
weather-proof finish.

6. Quality Control:

During the course of work, the Execution Engineer shall conduct random weekly
inspections to check the following points:

Conditions of the surface to which the insulation is applied.
Quality of insulation application and their joints.
Quality of securement of cladding supports.
Quality of cladding joints and their sealing.
Final appearance of finished work
