Abstract
In one aspect, a method for positioning a fluid storage tank in an underground installation site includes providing the fluid storage tank that includes a measuring device configured to provide a deflection measurement for the fluid storage tank and placing the fluid storage tank in the underground installation site. The method also includes measuring a first value for the deflection measurement from a distance from the measuring device after placing the fluid storage tank in the underground installation site without an operator being positioned on the fluid storage tank, wherein the first value provides a baseline for determining deflection of the fluid storage tank.
