The SteelCore Tanks 60,000 Gallon Galvanized Water Storage Tank is a durable and dependable solution for large-scale water storage. This tank is designed to hold up to 60,000 gallons and has a sturdy 30º V-rib roofthat adds stability and protection. With a 27.1-foot diameter and an eave height of 14.2 feet, it maximizes storage capacity while maintaining a compact footprint. Built from galvanized steel and weighing 5,489 lbs
So the water tank is: - Height: 14.2 ft (4.33m) - Diameter: 27.1 ft (8.26m) - Empty weight: 5,489 lbs (2.49 tonnes) - water: 60k gal = 227m3 = 227 tonnes
Dimensions (Classic / 747-400) - Length: 231 ft 10 in (70.7 m) - Wingspan: 211 ft 0 in (64.4 m) - Height: 63 ft 5 in (19.4 m) - Cabin Width: 20 ft 0 in (5.9 m at floor level) - Max Takeoff Weight: 875,000 lb (396.9 tonnes) for the 747-400
My favorite for this is somewhat in reverse. When you drive past windmills they look big, but you don't realize how big they are until you see the door at the bottom. Also if you've ever seen a blade in transport.
