![]() Terminals can also be served by rail, barge and road tanker (sometimes known as "bridging"). Some terminals are connected to pipelines from which they draw or discharge their products. Oil terminals may be located close to, or be part of, oil refineries or be located in coastal locations where marine tankers can discharge or load cargo. By 1890, 130 vertical cylindrical reservoirs using Shukhov design were built in Russia. Shukhov also developed construction methods, including tables that allowed to calculate required amount of steel and components depending on the reservoir size and type. He published an article "Mechanical structures in oil industry" (" Механические сооружения нефтяной промышленности") in 1883, mathematically proving that cylindrical shape would require the least amount of steel, modelling structural stresses specific to oil storage. The vertical cylindrical steel reservoir structure was pioneered by Russian engineer Vladimir Shukhov during his work for Branobel oil company. Originally, open pits and cubic reservoirs were used for industrial oil storage. Historical oil tank using steel rivets to attach wall metal plates
