Sweden 2017

Storage tank construction Sweden 2017: Nordweld’s efficient system for large-scale tank building.

In the spring/summer of 2017, our advanced equipment was used in Sweden for the construction of a large storage tank. This tank was built inside an old tank with a diameter of 38m.

Project details:

• Number of tanks: 1
• Diameter: 28 m
• Height: : 14 m
• Weight: 159 metric tons
• Capacity: 8620 m3
• Material: Duplex stainless steel LDX 1.4162

Our standard system was used including our mechanized system for welding:

Welding method: Mechanized MIG/MAG (solid wire and FCW).

In this case our system showed one of its merits, only one opening in the bottom course of the old tank was needed for the transport of the sheets. All sheets were loaded on the roller bed at the same location and rotated until the course was completed.

The roof was equipped with a handrail at the periphery and a 5m2 platform. Access to the roof was by a spiral stair tower. This was delivered by TLC.
