Storage Tanks

Service Detail

Our expertise extends to the installation of storage tanks, including both above ground and underground options. We ensure that all tanks are installed safely and meet regulatory standards.

Types of Storage Tanks

Above-Ground Storage Tanks (AST)

01

Horizontal Tanks

Typically used for storing liquids in small to medium quantities. These tanks are installed horizontally and are often used for diesel and petroleum products.

02

Vertical Tanks

Used for large-scale storage needs. These tanks are installed vertically and are commonly used for storing chemicals, petroleum, and other liquids.

Underground Storage Tanks (UST)

01

Double-Walled Tanks

Provide extra protection against leaks and are commonly used for storing hazardous liquids such as petroleum and chemicals.

02

Single-Walled Tanks

Used for storing non-hazardous liquids. These tanks are buried underground and are designed for long-term storage.

Erection Methods

Jacking Method

01

Step-by-Step Erection

The tank shell is constructed in sections from the bottom to the top. Hydraulic jacks are used to lift the tank sections, allowing for the next section to be welded underneath.

02

Controlled Alignment

This method ensures precise alignment and welding of each section, resulting in a structurally sound tank.

03

Safety and Efficiency

The jacking method minimizes the need for extensive scaffolding and reduces the risk of accidents.

Lift-Up Method

01

Assembly and Lifting

The tank roof and upper shell are assembled on the ground. The assembled sections are then lifted using cranes or hydraulic lifts, allowing for the lower sections to be welded in place.

02

Speed and Accurac

This method allows for quick and accurate assembly of storage tanks, reducing construction time.

03

Minimal Ground Interference

The lift-up method is ideal for sites with limited space, as it minimizes the need for extensive groundwork.

Rolling Method

01

Sectional Rolling

The tank shell is rolled into cylindrical sections on-site and then welded together to form the complete tank structure.

02

Flexibility

This method is suitable for constructing large diameter tanks and allows for adjustments during assembly.

03

Efficient Use of Materials

The rolling method minimizes material waste and ensures a uniform thickness throughout the tank shell.
