Three site-built storage tanks to be designed and built for TransTank by Engicon

Engicon nv (Geldof) said of its latest project: “Our focus was to finish a vacuum double bottom and make it ready for a ‘type approval’ according to German requirements, which we have reached now.”

Engicon is responsible for the design and construction of three site-built storage tanks with an operational volume of 15000m³, for TransTank GmbH in Germany.

Describing the project as “demanding”, Engicon said: “Starting with the implementation of the rigorous German codes and requirements, managing the interface between the foundations and steelwork, having an extreme storm and some damage from it, we now chew on the COVID-19 consequences.

“But committed as we are, we will end this project as a good one, with satisfaction for all parties!”

The three identical double walled tanks will be used for the storage of aviation fuel JET A, in line with the international JIG requirements.

It said: “By pipeline Jet A1 will be delivered coming from the refinery of BP and temporarily stocked in these storage tanks.”
