Abstract
With a storage tank temporarily held in the correct position, an abutment plate is applied to the lower surface of each of support chocks projecting from a plurality of places circumferentially of the storage tank toward a support deck and in this condition such adjusting plates are temporarily fixed at the support deck as by bolts. A molding flask for preventing the outflow of resin material is placed to surround each abutment plate. Subsequently, a liquid resin material which, upon setting, becomes resistant to pressure and low temperature is poured into a space surrounded with the molding flask between the abutment plate and the support deck. After the resin has set, the storage tank is in the correctly installed condition supported by a support block formed of the resin. The upper surface of the support block serves as a slide surface provided by the abutment plate.
