"ArchoTank: Engineering & Technical FAQ"

---

 A: ArchoTank is an ultra-high-performance storage system built using UHPC (Ultra-High-Performance Concrete) and an integrated protective liner. It is engineered to last over 100+ years without corrosion, leaks, or structural failure. 

 A: Traditional tanks degrade—rust, leaks, cracks, costly repairs. ArchoTank eliminates these issues by using next-gen materials validated by ASTM, ACI, PCI, and FHWA standards. 

 A: UHPC is a next-gen fiber-reinforced concrete that is 3X stronger, 4X more durable, and virtually impermeable compared to traditional concrete.

• Compressive Strength: 150+ MPa (21,750 psi)
• Flexural Strength: 10-15 MPa (absorbs 3X more impact energy)
• Permeability: Virtually zero (no corrosion, no freeze-thaw damage)
• Self-Healing: Seals micro-cracks through autogenous healing.
• Durability: Designed for 100+ year lifespan

 A: The liner is an additional safeguard, like a protective topcoat. Even if it wears out, the UHPC tank remains structurally intact and fully operational—unlike steel tanks that corrode or crack 

 A: Yes. UHPC has been tested & used in:

• ✔ ASTM C1856 – UHPC Performance & Testing
• ✔ ACI 239R – UHPC Structural Design Guidelines
• ✔ PCI Standards – Precast industry standards
• ✔ FHWA Validation – Used in critical infrastructure (bridges, military, water containment)

 A: The UHPC structure needs zero maintenance. No coatings, no structural repairs. The liner may need future attention, but the core tank remains fully operational.

 A: Nothing critical. Unlike steel or standard concrete tanks, ArchoTank’s core structure won’t degrade, rust, or fail. The liner is a protective enhancement, not a structural necessity. 

 A: Yes. UHPC structures worldwide (bridges, defense structures) demonstrate well-documented 100+ year lifespans. With the liner, lifespan potential extends even further. 

 A: Initially, the cost is comparable. However, total lifecycle costs are drastically lower due to the elimination of corrosion, structural repairs, and long-term maintenance. 

 A: By eliminating corrosion, leaks, structural failures, and major maintenance, ArchoTank saves significant costs over its lifespan compared to traditional storage solutions. 

 A: ArchoTank’s precast UHPC modular design enables installation to be up to 50% faster than traditional methods.
