Know-How of Petroleum Tank Construction

Professional petroleum tank construction starts with careful site assessment, soil testing, and selection of the correct tank type, such as fixed roof, floating roof, or underground storage tanks. Design follows international standards to ensure structural strength, corrosion resistance, and safe storage of flammable liquids.

High-quality steel plates are cut, shaped, and welded using certified welding procedures. All welds are inspected by non-destructive testing to prevent leaks and structural failures. Internal and external surfaces are protected with specialized coatings and cathodic protection systems to minimize corrosion and extend service life.

Construction includes robust foundations, bund walls, and drainage systems to contain spills. Safety systems such as vents, overfill protection, fire-fighting connections, and gas detection are integrated into the design. Final hydrostatic testing, tightness checks, and commissioning ensure the tank operates safely and efficiently in demanding industrial environments.
