For the renewal of the operating license of a large fuel storage tank for mineral oil products in Thuringia, the competent authorities demanded proof of stability and usability in case of a load earthquake.
The warehouse consists of 14 partially ground cylindrical bulk tanks of prestressed concrete with a diameter of 33 m and a height of approximately 11 m. In addition to the product tanks, the warehouse includes underground and overground pipelines to the loading stations.
