All coatings are applied within a controlled environment
All coatings are applied over an SSPC-SP10 near white blast and thermally cured (Oven Baked). All coatings are applied in a factory controlled environment and blast is achieved using steel grit.
All factory applied coatings eliminate weather delays and possible environmental problems.
If coatings are applied in the field, without the right ambient environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, the coatings cannot be properly applied.
Flash oxidation will occur in the field if the coatings are applied too quickly.
All parts of a bolted tank are standardized which leads to consistency from one tank to another
With the standardized parts on the bolted tank the erection time can be easily be determined
Because of the standardized parts on the bolted tank, the pricing is significantly more accurate. This accuracy stays the same no matter where the tank is going. Simply add the cost of shipping.
Since the parts are standardized the tanks can be dismantled, moved to another location, and reassembled.
Erection time on average is typically 50-75% less than that of welded tanks
The reduction of erection time leads to a reduction in costs.
The coatings of a welded tank cannot be applied until the tanks are welded together, making the completion time longer.
After the tank is welded, there is a dependency on the quality of the local paint contractor assigned to the project.
Since we erect our tanks from ground level with a jacking.
