The brief
Four tanks at an oil storage terminal needed new external coating and floors. The terminal wanted to take them out of service one at a time for blasting, coating and new cathodic protection.
In figures
- blasted and coated
- 9,800m²
- of coating thickness measured
- 2,300points
- installed for cathodic protection
- 48anodes
How the work went
- Tanks were emptied one by one; the terminal kept working.
- Surfaces were abrasive-blasted and given a three-coat system.
- Coating thickness was measured at 2,300 points and recorded.
- Each tank got cathodic protection with 12 anodes, installed and surveyed.
Result
9,800 m² blasted and coated over 5 months; tanks went back into service one after another.
We handed over the tanks in turn, and the whole job finished without the terminal stopping.
