Did you take some pictures?
It would be a fair bit cheaper than pouring walls. We would backfill so wouldn't Be to much pressure.
Can get some soon

has anyone made a slurry store sunk in the ground with concrete panels?
Would normally just earth line a lagoon, but not so much space this time, so looking at concrete.

I have one. it's L shaped panels and a poured concrete floor. Used a pump to get the concrete laid. ea were happy when it went in 5 years ago. had a full ea inspection on Friday and still happy.
It's 2.4m deep but some of the panels are 3.2m to get the levels right

How are you sealing them @MickMoor ?
I've had a price today for the pannels, is it not cheaper to pour walls? I was thinking of going nearer 5m deep if we poured the walls, and then back fill aswell.We build lots of slurry stores with concrete panels, this one isn't far from you, 3.6m deep 50m long by 25 m wide
A mate put up a sectional round concrete store it is buried 3-4m deep on 2/3rds of its diameter. The manufacturers were fine with the situation.
But a poured wall, 8inch thick back filled will surely be stronger than any precast panel.I don't fancy going to all that work and having it fail, which is why I had to revise my design. Still cheaper than a tank that failed. I quote mystructural engineer: "We need to confirm that the construction detail shown is adequate for an external loading of 3.0m soil depth (this will apply to the road end of the tank) with an additional 10kN/m2 surcharge. The tank needs to be in the empty state for the external load calculations. The EA will want toseee that hese calculations have been carried out, and you are meant to inform them before starting work.

Have you tried FP McCann they supply all our panelsI've had a price today for the pannels, is it not cheaper to pour walls? I was thinking of going nearer 5m deep if we poured the walls, and then back fill aswell.
The haulage is killing the pannels.
Clearly I'm no engineer, but I've taken one out with a 5tonner and pecker, wired and meshed right up. Took fecking ages...If all your wire and mesh is in place tying it into the corners and floor, if there's no mesh then no. And I don't know if an 8" thick wall will be adequate to hold 5m of back fill. That's for an engineer to work out
