This photograph shows a row of horizontal cylindrical tanks positioned within an open excavation. Their rounded ends, spacing and fittings on the upper surfaces can be compared while the surrounding ground remains exposed.

What to observe

Follow the row of tanks from front to back. Compare their alignment, the gaps between neighbouring vessels and the clearance to the excavation sides. Notice which fittings would need to remain accessible as installation progresses.

What this view cannot confirm

The photograph does not establish the stored product, operating temperature, insulation system, support details or final backfill arrangement. Cryogenic service and installation suitability require project information beyond this view.
