Storage tank fabrication and installation

Atmospheric storage tanks for process fluids, firewater, fuel and chemical service, with bottom plate, shell and roof welding, standard NDT and hydrotest.

NSTC fabricates and installs atmospheric storage tanks for process fluids, firewater, fuel and chemical service. The scope runs from bottom plate through shell courses to the roof, with the welding, testing and documentation that the handover needs.

Third-party inspection is coordinated against your TPIA hold points, and those hold points are agreed before fabrication starts rather than discovered halfway up the shell. That single step is what keeps a tank programme from slipping.

The erection crew, the welders and the coating operators all come from the same roster, so a tank can be fabricated, erected and coated without handing the scope between subcontractors.

Common questions

Do you coordinate third-party inspection?
Yes. We agree the hold points with your nominated TPIA before fabrication starts and work to them through bottom plate, shell, roof and testing. Agreeing them in advance is deliberate: a hold point discovered part way up the shell is the most common cause of a tank programme slipping.
Can you coat the tank as well as build it?
Yes. Surface preparation to Sa 2.5 and application of the protective system runs from our own coating crew rather than a subcontractor, so the blasting and painting sit inside the same scope and the same programme.
Do you take the civil works and bund as well?
Bunds and containment can be included where they form part of the tank scope. Foundation design and major civil works are normally held by your main contractor, and we work to the foundation as issued.
