Tank Construction Projects

Tatwir Al Rumaila (TRC) has extensive experience in the design, fabrication, and installation of industrial tanks for the oil and gas sector. We specialize in the construction of fully welded tanks for fuel, water, and process fluids, following international engineering standards such as API 650 and API 620. We use advanced welding techniques and apply cathodic protection systems to safeguard tanks from corrosion in harsh environmental conditions, ensuring durability, reliability, and long-term performance.

Key Tank Construction Projects

Tank Construction Project

  • STX Heavy Industries (Rumaila North Oilfield)
  • Location: Rumaila North Oilfield – Basr

Scope of Work:

  • Design and fabrication of fully welded tanks for water and fuel storage.
  • Manufacturing steel plates with custom thicknesses to meet operational pressure requirements.
  • Application of advanced welding techniques, including:
  • - Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) – for structural joints.
  • - Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) – for sensitive connections.
  • - Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) – for main seams and reinforcements.
  • Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) procedures conducted on-site, including:
  • - X-Ray Testing (RT) – to detect internal weld defects.
  • - Ultrasonic Testing (UT) – for evaluating internal structural integrity.
  • - Dye Penetrant Testing (PT) – to identify surface cracks.
  • Installation of a cathodic protection system (CPS):
  • - Sacrificial anodes to prevent corrosion in high-moisture environments.
  • - Continuous monitoring systems to track corrosion activity.
