Is TIF suitable?

  • Perimeter space is limited by surrounding walls or plant.
  • Panels can reach the room and the assembly sequence is workable.
  • Decca can review the proposed near-wall or corner arrangement.

Check the headroom

Include the open manway, access equipment, inlet chamber and overhead services.

Choose the service locations

Group fittings on an accessible face where practical. Retain access on every side that has serviceable equipment.

Joints reached from inside

Internal wall and base flanges reduce the need for an external fixing corridor. The illustrated construction still needs a reviewed assembly sequence and maintenance access.

Check the finished fittings face

Review projecting connections and adjacent pipework against the available service space.

Plan installation with Decca

Decca helps select the TIF arrangement and reviews your drawings for internal fixing access, the fittings face and overhead working space. We manufacture and supply the agreed tank and can include installation in the quotation. Before work starts, we agree the installation responsibilities and any testing, cleaning, disinfection and handover included in our scope.

  • Confirm support and the full filled load with your structural designer.
  • Retain safe manway access and allow for beams, chambers and services.
  • Keep all valves and instruments reachable after installation.
  • Calculate water volume from the full panel geometry, not just clear space between flanges.
  • Empty the tank for internal fixing work; allow for removing residual water when cleaning.

Your questions answered

No. IF uses internal wall joints with separate corner angles and can have an internal or external base. Corner and base-access needs differ. Compare TIF where space around the tank is particularly limited.

Send a dimensioned room layout showing walls and obstructions. Decca will confirm the installation allowances for the selected arrangement. Safe top and fittings access must also be retained.

Yes, selected divided or non-standard layouts can be reviewed from a dimensioned plan. State each compartment’s capacity and agree its connections, isolation and maintenance access.
