Abstract
A sectional panel tank comprises one or more side wads that are joined together in forming the sectional panel tank. One of the side wall comprises a first unit panel having a first extension at a first edge of the first unit panel and a second unit panel having a second extension at a second edge of the second unit panel. By combing the second extension to the second extension, the second unit panel is joined to the first unit panel for providing a continuous surface of the side wall. No gasket is needed between the first extension and the second extension. A method of making the sectional panel tank is also disclosed. A method of making prefabricated unit panels with lining sheets is further disclosed for the sectional panel tank.
Claims31
A sectional panel tank, comprising:
- at least one side wall for joining other side walls in forming the sectional panel tank;
- wherein the at least one side wall comprises:
- a first unit panel having a first extension at its edge for supporting the first unit panel;
- a second unit panel having a second extension at its edge;
- wherein the first unit panel and the second unit panel are joined together contiguously at the first extension and the second extension by at least one fastener.
(canceled)
A method of making a side wall for a sectional panel tank, comprising
- providing a first unit panel having an extension at its edge as a first extension;
- providing a second unit panel having an extension at its edge as a second extension;
- directly joining the first unit panel and the second unit panel together via a securing means at the first extension and the second extension;
- and
- applying a jointer at a seam between the first extension and the second extension on inner sides of the first unit panel and the second unit panel.
A method of making a prefabricated unit panel for a sectional panel tank, the method comprising
- providing a structural panel having an extension;
- providing a lining sheet substantially larger than the structural panel;
- and
- attaching the lining sheet onto an inner side of the structural panel;
- wherein the lining sheet covers the extension of the structural panel substantially.
