HI-FOUNDATION

This is water tank base that holds two ends together as a connection by consisting of a rotating, height controlled type of steel support, an upper and a lower support plate.

HI-FOUNDATION

This is the foundation of a systematized water tank, constituted of a rotating, height-adjustable steel support and upper and lower backing plates, that connects each of their foundations and fixes both ends.
