  • Patent number: 11230853
    Abstract: A large capacity above ground impoundment tank includes a number of first-level interlocking panels connected to one another to form a generally circular tank. The first-level interlocking panels include a plate, a first flange, a second flange, a third flange, and a fourth flange. The first-level interlocking panels include at least retaining rib and at least one vertical support member. The third flange of each first-level interlocking panel includes a guide pin. The first flange of a first-level interlocking panel is connected via suitable fasteners to the second flange of an adjacent first-level interlocking panel. A number of second-level interlocking panels may be positioned on a top surface of the first-level interlocking panels. The second-level interlocking panels may be similar to the first-level interlocking panels. The guide pin of a first-level interlocking panel is inserted into a corresponding guide pin hole on the fourth flange of a corresponding second-level panel.
