Main specifications:

  1. Stored product - bitumen;
  2. Tank material - steel St3sp5;
  3. List of works - KM, TI and TN projects design for tanks, their repair and erection;
  4. The list of the repair work - renewal of the roof, reconstruction of the heat element, installation of heat insulation, anti-corrosion protection;
  5. The list of tanks erectionwork - design, manufacture and erection of two vertical tanks VST with anti-corrosive coating application and heat insulation.

Specific features and complexities of the project

Vertical tanks reconstruction and repair

Project activities included both the design and erection of new tanks and the complete reconstruction of the existing tanks at the facility.

The work was performed with frequent unplanned downtime due to weather conditions at the construction site, namely abnormally abundant snowfall and strong winds.

The design consideration of the tanks roof was the seam lock of heat insulation mats, which is a rare way of mounting the coating material.

All works under the general contract were performed in accordance with the completed contract, with the exception of the site organization and hydraulic testing of tanks.

 

Complex works on the bitumen storage tank farm upgrade included:

  • KM projects design for repair steel structures of vertical tanks with a capacity of 270 m3 and 548 m3;
  • KM projects design for steel structures of new two tanks with a capacity of 270 m3 each;
  • TI (thermal insulation) and TN (heat elements) projects design;
  • manufacture of repair steel structures and steel structures of new tanks;
  • repair and erection of new tanks, namely renewal of roofs, reconstruction of heat elements, installation of thermal insulation, anti-corrosion protection application on external surfaces;
  • hydraulic testing of four tanks.
