Zusammenfassung: | An underground storage tank for fluids is made by forming hollow wall sections of reinforced plastic on a mold having a surface of double curvature, abutting the wall sections at their congruent open ends, and providing an endless reinforced plastic joint on the line of abuttment. The combination of a double curvature surface and multidirectional strength provided by randomly dispersed chopped glass strands in the resin matrix, provides resistance to the crushing forces of the surrounding earth. A planar surface is either formed on or molded into the tank wall for attaching an assembly of fittings thereto. |
