Does this type of tank construction involve proprietary reinforcement systems, construction methods, or construction equipment?
Similar to a building or bridge, tendon-prestressed concrete tanks are generic structures with no proprietary reinforcement systems, construction methods, construction equipment, tendon tensioning and grouting equipment, etc. The potential for project delays due to unavailable proprietary equipment is not an issue. The projects are usually designed by consulting engineers and competitively bid by general contractors local to the project.
