Industrial Tank Maintenance and Revamp Services: Maximum Safety at API 653 Standards

Storage and process tanks utilized in petrochemical, power, food & beverage, and chemical plants are exposed to corrosion, chemical erosion, high pressure, and mechanical fatigue over time. At DRS Makina, industrial tank maintenance, repair, and revamp services fully compliant with international API 653 standards are provided to extend the service life of these critical storage equipment—the heart of your facility—eliminate leakage risks, and ensure environmental safety.

Advanced Technology Inspection and Corrosion Detection (NDT) The initial step in tank maintenance is the accurate detection of existing damage. Precise inspections on tank surfaces are conducted by our expert engineers utilizing high-technology scanners and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods. Shell plate thickness measurements, corrosion mapping, and ultrasonic/laser scanning of welding seams are performed to report the structural integrity of the equipment, and the required repair plan is determined with millimetric precision.

Heavy Structural Repairs and Plate Replacement Professional mechanical interventions are executed on tank shells that have completed their service life, are punctured, or heavily deformed. Whether in our workshops or directly at the field installation site; partial plate replacements (patching), bottom renewal operations, replacement of corroded nozzles, and heavy reinforcement welding in accordance with API standards are meticulously applied by our expert teams.

Mechanical Revamping and Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) Integration Structural revamps are performed on existing tanks to ensure facilities comply with changing capacity requirements or current occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations. New roof walkways, monkey ladders, handrails, and inter-tank crossover bridges designed to increase operational safety on tall silos and storage tanks are engineered and flawlessly assembled on-site via heavy crane operations.

Special and Portable Tank Fleet Maintenance Our services are not limited solely to giant fixed facility tanks. Periodic mass maintenance of special structural steel-chassised, portable stainless steel tanks and IBC systems, which are heavily utilized in chemical or fuel logistics, is also conducted by our company. In this context, internal/external surface cleaning, leak testing, and valve/gasket replacements are completed, restoring the equipment to its initial reliability.
