FLOOR & BOTTOM OIL STORAGE TANK RELINING

This onsite oil tank required 3’ of 180’ diameter floor & bottom relining. To do so, we implemented a custom project approach.


After mobilizing and following the setup, we prepared the surface. Surface preparation is completed with EBE Automated Dust Free Wheel-abraded Blast Units followed by Manual Surface Preparation on Walls, Chime & around Floating Roof Legs. This work was then followed by Abrasive Removal performed with Industrial VEC Loader Vacuum & Re-Bagged in Bulk Bags for testing & disposal off site.

Steam cleaned and abrasive blasted floor area for striker plate installation and coating for dunnage pads.

Shop coated striker plates were installed along with coated existing plates and the surrounding area. Shop coated plate (smaller) back buttered with grout.

Dunnage (wood support) were required by work safety codes, areas were coated and dunnage moved onto coated areas after curing & prior to full coating application. These areas were cleaned and coated again when dunnage was removed.

Soluble salts test was performed after steam cleaning and after blasts.

Slag knock off & some areas of concern directed to grind, Areas blasted after Coating Inspector’s directions for fix / repair.

All conditions recorded and monitored, prior, during and after preparation, application and curing.   

Completed stripe coating on all weld seams, corners, edges & repairs.
