Recently, Sinopec Hainan oil depot construction workers report said: Jerry for oil tank fire dike construction projects in the petrochemical units, the existence of quality problems, not according to the design requirements for reinforced, neglecting fire safety engineering, has brought the serious security hidden danger. According to the design requirements, storage tank fire dike for the reinforced concrete structure, concrete is reinforced frame. But the fire dike upper upper wall 25-40 cm high, non reinforced concrete, only. There are relatively connected line marked the construction site visible oil depot fire tank external construction bank.

Construction unit responsible person supervisor and Sinopec Hainan company related to the person in charge informed, through its approval consent for irrigation. Construction standards, and the acceptance by the quality inspection departments of Sinopec etc.. The fire dike reinforcement has not reached the top elevation of reason, he called the fire dike (including underground base) 2.7 meters, 2.5-2.6 meters high steel. To fire dike underground at the grassroots level due to dig more than ten centimeters, that when watering, reinforced placed down will sink.

The engineer responsible person said storage tank fire dike wall construction according to design requirements, fully meet the design requirements, does not exist without the reinforcement situation. Denied "Jerry" of the situation, and that the fire dike the upper wall without reinforcement, does not affect the use of the fire dike.

It is understood, fire dike is the guarantee of safety, surrounded by reinforced concrete walls around the storage tanks, generally not less than 1.2 meters, must be sealed, can not have cracks, settlement etc.. Its role is to occur in the oil tank leakage or overflow accident, limiting oil in a fire bank, avoid the spread of fire burning or liquid outflow. As everyone knows, once out of oil, in the case of fire will burn, even explosion.

We can only say that the safety first, once the accident, to remedy it late.
