Large Tank Refurb

Glencore Mine

Its a massive red flag for project managers when your contractors ask to complete a project on hourly rates. To us, this means 3 things:



#1 They don’t have trust in their team to complete the project safely and under budget

#2 Happy to milk the system on rates per hr

#3 They don’t have trust in planning and completing the job on time as promised with the resources they have.

We completed the tank refurb with a Fixed Price as we worked closely with our client to ensure the refurb was completed safe and a high quality finish to ensure the structural intensity of the tank and NO LEAKS! We fabricated a frame to suit pallet jacking and we moved our sheets around the tank & used air winches to lift the plates into position, we also cut a 3m X 3m hole into the tank to bring scaffolding and plates in easily. To line the walls and the floor we fully welded each plate with the help of generator/welders and suit case wire feeders. After completing the inside of the tank we applied compensating plates and a large flange to suit the prefabricated lid to seal the 3mX3m hole in the wall.

The project took us 4 months, and the CSF team had zero injuries and met our client's needs. It was a project we will never forget. Thanks to Palani (our client), he made this project a great joy, with forward thinking and understanding of the construction process. Thanks to the Custom Steel Fab family and Glencore.
