Abstract

A container comprises a base (11) e.g. of concrete, side panels (13) e.g. of glass reinforced plastics materials secured to the base and a membrane (16) extending over the base (11) and between the side panels (13) and the base (11) to provide a fluid impervious interior lining for the base (11) and a fluid tight joint between each side panel (13) and the base (11). Layers of mastic (17, 18) are provided between the membrane (16) and the side panels (13) and between the membrane (16) and the base (11) where the side panels abut the base. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Improvements In or Relating to Containers The invention relates to containers.
According to the invention there is provided a container comprising a base, side panels secured to the base and a membrane extending over the base and between the side panels and the base to provide a fluid impervious interior lining for the base and a fluid tight joint between each side panel and the base.
The base may be of concrete and preferably has a planar upper surface. The side panels may each comprise flange means extending from at least a lower edge thereof, the side panels preferably being secured to the base by anchor means passing through the flange means and engaging the base.
A layer of mastic material is preferably provided between the membrane and the side panels and between the membrane and the base where the side panels abut the base.
The membrane is preferably of elastomeric material, for example butyl rubber, and is preferably between T mm and 16 mm thick.
By way of example, one embodiment of a container according to the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is a perspective view of the container; and Figure 2 is a sectional view along the line Il-li of Figure 1.
A container generally indicated at 10 comprises a base 11 of concrete having a planar upper surface 12, and side panels 13 which are conveniently made of glass reinforced plastics material secured to one another along vertical edges and secured to the base 11 along the bottom edge of each panel 13.
Each side panel has a securing flange 14 extending around the periphery of the panel and perpendicular to the general plane of the panel.
Each side panel 13 is rectangular and adjacent side panels are secured to one another by bolting through associated securing flanges 14. At corners of the container, an angle member 15 is provided to secure adjacent side panels 13 at right angles to one another. As shown in Figure 2, the thickness of each side panel is increased in the region of the securing flange 14.
A membrane 16 of elastomeric material, preferably butyl rubber, is laid across the concrete base 11 and layers 17 and 18 of mastic material, preferably butyl rubber strip sealant are applied on either side of the membrane where the side panels 13 abut the base 1 The lower mastic layer 1 7 between the base 11 and the membrane 1 6 takes up local irregularities in the surface of the concrete and ensures an even sealing pressure when the side panels 1 3 are urged towards the concrete base 1 The side panels 13 are secured to the base 11 by means of regularly spaced anchor members 1 9 which each pass through a hole in an associated securing flange 14 and into a plugged hole drilled in the concrete base 11.Figure 2 shows a particular anchor arrangement in which a metal insert 20 having gripping corrugations 21 is placed in a hole 22 drilled in the concrete base 11. The insert 20 has a tapered inner surface 23 and a frusto-conical plug member 24 is placed in the base portion of the insert 20. The insert 20 has an internally threaded upper portion engageable by a threaded bolt 25 which bolt 25 when in position further urges downwardly the plug 24 so that the insert 20 tightly grips the sides of the hole 22. It will be appreciated that there are other ways of securing the side panels 13 to the concrete base 11.
The membrane 1 6 is preferably between T mm and 1 mm thick and this embodiment of the invention provides a simple and easily assembled container and obviates the need for a base panei as used in conventional containers. The sealing arrangement with the membrane 16 and mastic layers 17 and 18 remove many possible leak paths for fluid from the container.
Claims

2. A container as claimed in claim 1 in which .the base is of concrete.
3. A container as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2 in which each side panel comprises flange means extending from at least a lower edge thereof, the side panels being secured to the base by anchor means passing through the flange means and engaging the base.
4. A container as claimed in any preceding claim in which the membrane is of elastomeric material.
5. A container as claimed in any preceding claim in which the membrane is of butyl rubber.
6. A container as claimed in any preceding claim in which the membrane is between X mm and 121 mm thick.
7. A container as claimed in any preceding claim in which a layer of mastic material is provided between the membrane and the side panels and between the membrane and the base.
