Industrial Field Tank and Silo Installation: High-Capacity Storage Solutions

The high-volume raw material, chemical, or end-product storage needs of industrial facilities are met with massive tanks meticulously designed through engineering calculations. As DRS Makina, we carry out the field installation of pressure or atmospheric storage tanks used in petrochemical, food, energy, and water treatment plants in full compliance with API 650, API 620, and EN 14015 standards. In the installation processes we conduct with heavy lifting engineering and strict occupational health and safety (OHS) procedures, we commission your project on time and safely.

Heavy Tonnage Equipment Logistics and Positioning The transportation of massive volume stainless steel or carbon steel tanks, whose fabrication and testing have been completed in our workshops, to the construction site via special trailer systems requires a major logistical operation. Reaching the facility site, these heavy-tonnage equipment are positioned onto previously prepared reinforced concrete or steel foundations with millimetric precision using high-capacity cranes, and their anchoring processes are completed.

Vertical Silo Installation and Facility Integration The installation of vertical process tanks and silos, which offer high storage capacity particularly in confined spaces, is seamlessly integrated into the existing facility infrastructure. In systems where multiple tanks operate side by side, to ensure operational ergonomics and personnel safety, the installation of steel maintenance bridges allowing passage between tanks, safe walking platforms, and handrail systems are also designed and implemented by our company.

Field-Erected and Insulated Tanks We offer direct “field-erected” services for ultra-high-capacity storage tanks that exceed highway transportation dimensions. Constructed on-site through plate rolling and certified welding processes, these tanks are also equipped with special external insulation and cladding materials to preserve the thermal values of the fluid. Furthermore, caged ladders (catwalks/ladders) fully integrated into the tank body and roof platforms for maintenance and inspection operations are installed according to international occupational safety norms, and the system is delivered completely.
