Description

The present invention relates to a method for renewing a storage tank side plate for safe dismantling with good workability when a working place around a storage tank is narrow and safety aspects such as handling of fire are severely restricted.

  When a large storage tank having a cylindrical steel side plate peripheral wall is aged for a long time after construction, it needs to be repaired for safety. In addition, there is a need to update the side plate part or the whole by changing the use of the storage tank or changing the location conditions.

When repairing a conventional general cylindrical storage tank, although not shown in the figure, first, a total scaffolding is temporarily installed on the entire outer periphery of the side wall of the cylindrical storage tank, and an operator cuts the side wall of the side panel by gas cutting or the like on the scaffold. The blocked side plates are lifted and lowered by heavy machinery such as cranes, and repair work is carried out sequentially from the height toward the bottom. Thus, the method of repairing from the high place to the lower part using the heavy equipment requires a wide working place where the heavy equipment moves around the storage tank. In particular, in places where there are storage tanks and operating facilities for storing dangerous materials in the surroundings, work places where heavy machinery is used are limited, and large-scale and strict safety measures such as measures against fire scattering are also required.

As a prior art considering workability and safety, there is, for example, the invention of “the method of assembling a peripheral wall of a cylindrical tank” of Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-33381 by the present applicant. In this invention, first, the lowermost peripheral wall is assembled, a roller is arranged at the upper edge, and the upper peripheral wall is piled up using a crane and a work scaffold in a limited fixed place while rotating the peripheral wall with this roller. It is a construction method that goes.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-270226 “Tank Side Plate Replacement Method” is a side plate lifting method in which a reinforcing ring is horizontally attached to the inner surface of a storage tank and fixed with members such as a longitudinal member and a hose shoe. A side plate is cut from the lower stage sequentially with a winch using a jig and replaced.

Also, the invention of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-148044 “A method for constructing a double shell tank and a side plate mounting device used in the same method” has a side plate mounting device attached to the upper edge of the uppermost side plate and a suspension hoist mounted on a hoist rail. The side plate is constructed by attaching

Furthermore, the invention of the "disassembly repairing method of the upper part of the circumferential wall of the cylindrical storage tank" disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-61246 by the present applicant cuts the peripheral wall of the upper part of the storage tank horizontally, and arranges the rollers at a predetermined interval. This is a method of cutting, dismantling and repairing the upper part while rotating, and the invention of Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-277263 “Rotating Dismantling Method of Storage Tank” by the present applicant is not required to require a large temporary scaffold. It is a construction method that dismantles sequentially downward while rotating the storage tank by the dismantling work platform at the location and the rollers installed all around the side plate.

JP-B-2-33821 JP-A-8-270226 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-148044 JP-A-10-61246 Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-277263

Conventional storage tank repair methods require a large work area where large heavy machinery such as cranes move around the entire circumference of the storage tank, and the surroundings are surrounded by a liquid barrier and are used to store dangerous materials. In places where there are storage tanks and operating equipment, the work place was restricted. Also, large-scale and strict safety measures such as ground curing due to the movement of heavy machinery and lifting and descent and measures against fire scattering were required.

The invention disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-33381 by the applicant of the present invention discloses a method for assembling a peripheral wall of a cylindrical tank. Although it is an assembly method with excellent safety and work efficiency, it is necessary to install a large crane and work platform, and it is suitable for building up new storage tanks from the bottom, but it is suitable for construction. It is not a suitable method for repairing storage tanks from above and below.

The invention of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-270226, “Tank Side Plate Replacement Method” is a method of repairing with good work efficiency without the need to provide a huge temporary scaffold, etc. Since the transfer is complicated and requires a long longitudinal member along the upper and lower sides of the side plate, it is not suitable for a large storage tank.

In addition, the invention of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-180444 “A method for constructing a double shell tank and a side plate mounting device used in the method” constructs a side plate between the inner and outer tanks of the double shell tank using the upper edge of the side plate. However, this method was not suitable for the restoration of the existing single-shell storage tank side plate.

Furthermore, the invention disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-61246 by the applicant of the present invention discloses a peripheral wall of a large floating roof cylindrical storage tank to which a wind girder is attached. This is a method suitable for dismantling and repairing the upper part, and can be dismantled and repaired at a predetermined place safely and efficiently while rotating the upper part of the peripheral wall of the storage tank. Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-277263 by the present applicant The invention of the “rotary dismantling method of storage tank” is to dismantle the storage tank side plate sequentially downward with good workability while rotating the storage tank side plate by a dismantling work platform at a predetermined location and a roller installed all around. None of the rotating construction methods using the rollers according to the method were suitable for exchanging the lower part and the upper part together by leaving the middle part of the side plate.

The object of the present invention was made in view of the problems of the prior art as described above, and when replacing the side plate of the storage tank over the lower part and the upper part, the periphery of the storage tank is so narrow that heavy machinery does not enter and workability is not good. In this case, a method for renewing a side plate that is excellent in safety and workability is provided.

A chain block with a trolley is suspended on a rail for use so that the entire circumference of the outer peripheral wall can be moved horizontally, and this chain block with a trolley is used for transportation as an alternative to a heavy machine to carry out an existing side plate and carry in a new side plate. The above revolver method, which replaces the upper side plates from the upper side, supports the upper load while hollowing out the second step of the existing side plate at the upper edge of the lower side new side plate that has been separated and replaced by cutting the entire circumference. Set up multiple roller equipment to be rotated sequentially, and rotate the entire storage tank located above by the motor drive of this roller equipment. Next, replace the lower side plate one turn while rotating the storage tank once with the roller equipment, and then sequentially replace each side plate step downward. The existing side plate and roller equipment are removed and a new side plate is inserted and replaced.

The renewal construction method of the storage tank side plate according to claim 1 is that a heavy machine for lifting and transporting is installed in a predetermined area of the cylindrical storage tank where the side plate is replaced, and the lower side plate such as the first and second stages is the rail lift method. In the case where the circumference of the storage tank is narrow and the workability is not good, the side plates of the plurality of stages from the middle to the upper part are fully rotated by the revolver method, and are lifted and transported using the above heavy machinery. Renewal work can be performed using simple rail lift equipment, roller equipment, and heavy equipment at a predetermined position without requiring large-scale heavy equipment movement. In addition, when there is an operating storage tank or equipment nearby, lifting and transporting is performed using heavy equipment at a predetermined position, so it is necessary to take measures such as ground curing and fall scattering prevention due to heavy equipment movement and suspension transportation. The update can be done safely without any problems.

A chain block with a trolley is suspended on a rail for use so that the entire circumference of the outer peripheral wall can be moved horizontally, and this chain block with a trolley is used for transportation as an alternative to a heavy machine to carry out an existing side plate and carry in a new side plate. The above-mentioned revolver method, which replaces the upper side plates from the upper side, supports the upper load while hollowing out the second step of the existing side plate at the upper edge of the lower side new side plate that has been cut around the entire circumference and separated and replaced. Set up multiple roller equipment to be rotated sequentially, and rotate the entire storage tank located above by the motor drive of this roller equipment. Next, replace the lower side plate one turn while rotating the storage tank once with the roller equipment, and sequentially replace each side plate step downward.Finally, the existing side plate of the roller equipment installation site is replaced by the rail lift method. Since existing side plates and roller equipment are removed and new side plates are inserted and replaced, it is not necessary to install large heavy machinery that moves around the storage tank in a wide range, and after the bottom side plate is replaced, the upper side plate is sequentially installed. Replacement and update can be performed with good workability. In addition, work using heavy machinery is performed safely within a predetermined area, and the storage tank renewal work proceeds in sequence by the low position and the movement from the upper stage to the lower stage due to rotation.

FIG. 6 is a plan layout view around the storage tank.

As shown by hatching in FIG. 6, the cylindrical storage tank 1 that performs the renewal construction is surrounded by the existing storage tank and the liquid barrier 24 on the three sides, and the front faces the passage 25. In such a place where the periphery is narrow, it is difficult to move the heavy machinery over the entire periphery of the storage tank and perform the work of hanging, loading and unloading. Therefore, the front passage 25 is used as a work area 26, and this limited work area 2 is used.
A large heavy machine such as a crane is installed in 6 to perform lifting and loading / unloading work.

As shown in FIG. 1, a passage 25 of the storage tank 1 is used as a work area 26, and a heavy machine 27 is installed in the predetermined work area to carry a renewed side plate piece. Around the side plate 3 of the storage tank 1, around a predetermined height position, for example, the side plate 2 or n-th stage in the circumferential direction where the rail 4 for transportation is installed in the horizontal direction and the heavy equipment 27 cannot be used. The lower side plate such as the first step of the lowermost side plate is lifted and transferred using this rail 4. In this way, the lower side plate such as the first step of the side plate is sequentially carried out and carried in the circumferential direction by the rail lift method using the rail 4 and is updated.

As shown in FIG. 2, the rail 4 used by the rail lift method is installed on the side plate n-stage position, for example, the wall surface of the second side board 3-2, and a chain block 7 with a trolley for lifting is attached to the rail 4. Suspend. The rail 4 is made continuous in the circumferential direction using, for example, I-shaped steel, and the mounting member 6 and the bracket 7 of the rail 4 are isolated using a formed steel material, and a plurality are fixed to the side plate surface. A plurality of chain blocks 7 with trolleys are suspended on the rail 4, the single piece of the side plate first stage 3-1 that is cut and removed is lifted and carried out, and then the single piece of the new side plate first stage 3-1 is lifted up. Carry in and install at the removed position.

In order to carry out the revolver method, as shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b, the upper part of the peripheral wall of the newly installed side plate 1st stage 3-1 and the existing side plate 2nd stage 3-2 are hollowed out and the number of pitches from 1 meter to several A plurality of openings 9 are cut out at appropriate positions separated by about a meter along the circumferential direction, and a rotating roller 10 is installed in the openings 9. Moreover, the drive roller 11 which rotates electrically and sends out is installed in a required number of suitable places. Reference numeral 12 denotes a gantry and 13 denotes a load support bracket.

As shown in FIG. 3a, the lower end edge of the existing side plate second stage 3-2 is cut horizontally, and the protector 14 for rotation is fixed along the circumferential direction. The protectors 14 are guided by applying the rollers 10 and 11 and installed so that the upper side plate 3 rotates smoothly and horizontally. Further, as shown in FIG. 3b, a support 15 of a sloped member made of a formed steel material is installed between the inner bottom plates of the first side plate 3-1 of the new side plate to stabilize and support the side plate 3 vertically. . After the above preparation, it is confirmed that the upper side plate and the accessory make a single horizontal and smooth rotation without contacting the inner and outer members.

As shown in FIG. 4, a heavy machine 27 such as a crane is installed in the work area 26 of the passage 25, and the side plates 3 are rotated horizontally by the revolver method using the rollers 10 and 11 provided as described above. After the update work for the upper N stage of the side plate is completed and the update is completed over one round, the side plate is sequentially moved to the lower side plate and further updated for one round. Continue the update work of 3.

Thus, since the heavy machinery 27 is installed in the work area 26 at a predetermined position and the replacement member is sequentially carried in and out while rotating the storage tank, the work becomes easy. The replacement of the upper side plate proceeds sequentially from the upper side to the lower side, so that it is excellent in safety, has good workability, and can be updated efficiently in a short time.

As shown in FIG. 5, the removal of the rollers 10 and 11 used in the revolver method and the renewal of the existing side plate second stage 3-2 are performed on the side plate n stage position, for example, the side plate third stage 3-3 wall surface. The rail 4 and the chain block 7 with the trolley are carried out and used for carrying in by the rail lift method.

As mentioned above, when the surroundings of the storage tank to be renewed are narrow and workability is poor, or when there are storage tanks or equipment in operation in the surrounding area, a simple rail lift is required without requiring heavy equipment to move around. The side plate can be stably updated by using the member, the roller rotating member, and the heavy machine at a predetermined position. In addition, work using heavy machinery is performed in a predetermined area that is wide and suitable for transport, so there is no fire or cuts scattered around the entire circumference of the storage tank, and temporary materials such as large flameproof sheets and curing materials are reduced. It is possible to perform the update work with good workability with safety work.

The rotary dismantling method of the storage tank according to the present invention is simple because it can be easily and safely performed in limited repair work such as various structures with a narrow and limited place and dangerous objects in the vicinity.
