Tank Saddles [1]

Foundation supports, usually constructed of reinforced concrete, for horizontal aboveground tanks [2], with upper portion of the saddle  curved to conform to the configuration of the tank which it supports. 

Saddles elevate horizontal tanks above the surface of the ground and thus facilitate inspection for the presence of leaks.
