Floating covers are installed on a tank by first preparing the tank surface to ensure it is clean and free of debris. The cover is then unrolled and spread out across the tank's surface, ensuring it fits correctly and covers the entire area.
Depending on the design, the cover may have integrated floats or inflatable sections to provide buoyancy. These are inflated or positioned to keep the cover afloat. The edges of the cover are secured using an anchoring system, which may include weighted edges, tensioned cables, or mechanical fasteners, to prevent the cover from shifting or being displaced by wind.
