Wyalusing Creek Frac Tank Tie-Downs

Water storage tanks were needed for hydraulic fracturing of gas wells. The tanks were positioned in a flood plane and had a possibility of floating away when they were empty. Shale was shallow at approximately 5ft depth.

32mm hollow bar was installed with a 76mm bit. The bar was anchored 15ft into the shale for a working capacity of 20 Kips.

36 hollow bar anchors were installed in one day.

All anchors were connected to cable tie-downs. The tanks are now secure even in flood situations.
