Construction of Water Storage Tank (2000 litters)
Abstract
The 20000 liters storage tank was constructed for effective storage and conservation of third with three (3) mild steel sheet of 14 gauge (2mm) thickness.
The construction started by marketing out 1½ (One and half) mild steel of 2440 Mm by 113Mmusing metal meter rule and critter the already market out dimension underwent cutting with a backsaw and after marking out and cutting operation of the cylindrical part it under went fording, using hammer and folding machine, and finally joined together using Arc welding machine.
Therefore, the cylindrical part of the storage tank was formed. To form the bottom , half of the remaining sheet, that was used initially for the cylindrical part was used, having a dimension of 1220 MM by 1130MM The top of the tank has a doomed sphere, roof of 1220MM for the entering of water and it was coursed with the constructed culver of 40000 MM by 10000 MM using one mild steel sheet the storage tank socket and tap was designed and constructed using drilling machine to make a small opening at the bottom of the tank with a diameter of 2.5MM and the inner threaded socket pipe of diameter 30Mmby 60 MM was screwed and welded to the opening.
The complete are welding of the parts was done with 12 gauge 2.5 MM electrode with exit piping of all the necessary joints. The storage tank was designed for affective storage and transfer of water through the tap control. It was discovered that the flow rate of the water through the tap control was free of any obstruction therefore, the tap can allow easy water flow out from the tank and can be used ford for storage of any water such as kerosene diesel, petrol etc. The construction was achieved this water was filled into function effectively.

INTRODUCTION
Reservoirs are forms of storages vessels.
Reservoirs are used for different purposes ranging from use in the chemical industries to use in the domestic homes of different chemical and physical properties others are used for the storage of solids and semi-finished items.
They are reservoirs that are designed in the form of silos for the storage of Agricultural equipments and even industries products.
Some reservoirs are sued in the cryogenic storages. Storage containers that are used for storing cryogenic substances are designed 10 percent volume larger than the substance so as to reduce rapid build up of pressure in the container.
The major problems of most reservoirs are leakage. Leakage usually results when controlled resulting to the collapse of a section. It might equally result from the rushing of a part of the container.
1.1 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The scope of the project is the design of a 2.0m3 reservoir for holding water with the following requirements;
i. Ability to withstand corrosion
ii. Cost should be comparable to what is obtainable in the open market
iii. With the capacity to be used for hygienic water storage
iv. Should not be constructed of a material that can easily breakdown on any impact of stress or be subjected to easy leakage of water
v. Should be installed on a support after construction.
