General Information
General information, overview and instructions needed before performing work.
Read this manual carefully. This manual will provide instructions on building the sidewall and stiffeners.
You will also need to consult other instructions in building the tank.
These include, but may not be limited to:
1. A stiffener and sidewall gauge layout chart. If such a chart is not included with this manual,
contact GSI.
2. Roof instructions must be followed. Roof instructions are included in this manual.
3. Ladders, roof stairs, roof handrails and other products are covered by separate instruction manuals.
Consult the appropriate accessory manual. Inside ladder instructions are included in this manual.
4. Aeration systems and transitions are to be installed according to the instructions provided with the
system or transition.
5. It is critical that the anchor bolts are installed and spaced correctly.
Anchor Bolt Charts
Prior to setting any anchor bolts, you must be sure to have the correct anchor bolt placement. This is very
critical for stiffener alignment during bin erection.
NOTE: Refer to the proper chart to find the anchor chord dimensions that correspond to the bin that is
being built. (See Pages 15-19.)
Start with one anchor bolt and work from it to the left to locate one quarter of the anchor bolts then to the
right to locate another quarter of the bolts. Working off of the last anchor bolts in each quarter, locate the
remaining anchor bolts in the last two (2) quarters.
