When constructing a ground level water tank, the four seismic considerations are:

  1. Anchorage of the tank and foundation, clearance around the pipe penetrations through the pump house or other structural walls, proper steel thickness near base of the tank and flexibility of pipe connections to the tank.
  2. Flexibility of pipe connections at the pump, a proper foundation, protected pipe penetrations and reinforced walls.
  3. Design by a qualified structural engineer, use of appropriate steel of appropriate thickness, flexible pipe connections throughout, anchorage to a concrete base.
  4. Welded solid steel connections to the tank base, anchorage of the tank and foundation, clearance around pipe penetrations, and consideration of expected wind loads.
