It is very difficult to run cables over-head, they interfere with the crane. You only need access to the nodes from the top, so walk ways can be narrow (and only from 1 side) and you can stack the tanks tightly back to back or side by side. You can also run services under the tanks (put them on tank stands if you want). -- Dr Stuart Midgley [email protected]
