Older tanks often suffer corrosion to the floor, shell and roof plating or require modifications to suit a future change of service.

Rhyal Engineering offer a specialist service to fully refurbish or modify existing storage tanks and vessels, as follows:

• Engineering, design and detailed construction drawings for repairs or modifications.
• Raising the tank above grade on a specialist hydraulic jacking system.
• Refurbishment of the existing tank foundation.
• Installation of secondary containment.
• Removal and replacement of tank floors.
• Removal and replacement of tank shell plates.
• Installation of additional shell rings to increase capacity
• Removal and replacement of tank roofs.
• Dismantling, transfer to a new location and rebuilding of tanks.
• Transfer of complete tanks to a new location (dependant on size & distance).

Note: All the above repairs and modifications are completed strictly in accordance with BS 2654 or API 650/653 repair codes.

It is without doubt that the repair and upgrade of existing tanks presents as much, if not a more formidable and specialist task than the construction of new tanks. This is largely due to the fact that it is never clear as to how the original structure will react during removal and repair. Also that serious structural damage may occur if the surrounding areas are not suitably supported when sections are removed.

Rhyal Engineering management and personnel have been selected and recruited on the basis of providing extensive experience and knowledge of previous tank repairs and modifications. We have therefore built an enviable reputation on our ability to take on all aspects of minor and major tank refurbishment and produce a quality repair, on time, every time.

Whatever your refurbishment problems present, Rhyal Engineering have the professional and practical solution to meet the challenge.
