If they knew the answer, I wouldn't bother you. We can construct such a
tank with our traditional methods, like using slipforming. But I am
looking for the fastest method of excuting such projects.
Thank you

A tank with a storage capacity of 10,000 cubic meters is no small project
and should be engineered. I get about 265,000 US gallons. Surely, you
can find a local engineer who has the expertise to handle a project of
this size. You will need a local engineer!

One method is a wire-wound precast tank. Go here for more information.

Bob-

I think one of us is off by 10x

I get 2.65 million gallons

about 100ft dia x 50 ft high

cheers
Bob

Bob:

You are correct. The volume is 2.65 million gallons. I misread my
calculator.

The OP is looking for the fastest method, but not necessarily the "best"
method for constructing this tank. As others have pointed out the
"fastest" method is probably an open reservoir. These are in common use,
even for potable water, but are now out of favor due heightened security
measures.

A project this large is not something one does "overnight". This is a
huge tank and will require months of planning and design, let alone the
construction time. I cannot see a tank of this size and all its
appurtenances being designed and constructed in less than a year.

Yes, thank you. Wire-wound Precast is a method of doing such projects,
and I think that this method is a fast one. But I should have proof
that I have found the fastet method, so, I am trying to find out all
methods of cunstructing concrete storage tanks.
