Sažetak
JANAF Plc has started the construction at the Omišalj Terminal of 8 crude oil storage tanks with capacity of 80.000 m3 each. Ground investigation works consisted of seismological, geological, engineering-geological, geophysical and geomechanical site investigations and laboratory tests. The NDT techniques, carried out to ensure the safety of the tank and the base ground, include geoelectrical sounding, shallow seismic refraction and ground penetration radar. The satisfying stability and safety of the tank's construction was ensured by using the NDT methods within ground investigation works and during the phase of ground improvement quality control. This paper presents the results of various NDT techniques taken for the tanks foundation. It highlights the importance of NDT techniques in controlling the success of the ground improvement design solution for the tank foundation in order to ensure safety of tank structure.
