Description
What GLS Tank – AWWA D103 Design calculates
GLS Tank – AWWA D103 Design is a professional engineering design calculation tool that takes 9 engineering inputs and produces 6 verified results. The calculation follows AWWA (Water Works), AWWA D103 (Bolted Steel Tanks). Every formula is traceable to the governing standard clause, and every result is checkable against a worked example.

What GLS Tank - AWWA D103 Design calculates
GLS Tank - AWWA D103 Design is an Excel-native engineering calculation tool built by 3D-LABS for engineers, designers, and technical consultants across disciplines. It is used for performing repeatable, verifiable engineering calculations that would otherwise require manual longhand work. Every input is labelled and every output is traceable — the sheet is designed to be checkable, not a black box.
Codes and standards followed
GLS Tank - AWWA D103 Design follows AWWA D103. Each formula in the spreadsheet is cross-referenced to the specific code clause it implements — you can trace any calculation back to the underlying standard, which is essential for design review and regulatory sign-off.
If your project requires a different code base (e.g. converting an IS-code sheet to an ASME basis), we can produce a code-variant edition on request. Contact info@3d-labs.com for a variant quote.
