The Job
Brisbane Tank Manufacturing won the bid to manufacture a Vertical Diesel Fuel Storage Tank for Fulton Hogan after submitting a design according to the specifications. They were given 10 weeks to fabricate and manufacture the tank. Fulton Hogan was looking to add to their fuel farm (fuel storage tanks) up in the Gladstone plant to help increase the volume of supply of diesel fuel for their equipment in building roads and for other necessities.
The Process for the Diesel Fuel Storage Tank
Driven by a continued commitment to produce high quality storage tanks, every tank fabricated at Brisbane Tank Manufacturing adheres to strict quality control and constraints in accordance with strict standards. The tanks are built to AS1692 2006 version, Class 5 (combustible liquids) and UL150 specifications.
Brisbane Tank Manufacturing provides all sorts of tanks for all kinds of applications and is known for innovative designs. The tanks are designed in-house and certified by engineers. For Fulton Hogan, this meant building a Vertical Diesel Fuel Storage Tank that has corrugation on half of the tank to make it safer. The tanks are inspected and independently tested to make sure of quality control and proper compliance to the strict codes.
Building period
The whole process took less than the 10 weeks allotted for the project. The manufacture and construction of the tank took 4 weeks. The design and certification of the tank took about 2 weeks. The external painting of the tank only took a week.
