The project in context

Technology in its operating context.

Repair of a horizontal tank shell measuring 12 × 2.7 m in Pardubice. The solution addressed deformed areas near the concrete supports and installation of formed reinforcing plates while retaining the surrounding structures.

Scope of work

  • Tank shell repair at the concrete support locations
  • Manufacturing drawing for four formed 6 mm reinforcing plates
  • Vessel lifting with jacks as specified in the installation proposal
  • Reinforcement installation, welding and inspection

Repair at the vessel supports

The existing vessel was a horizontal tank 12 m long and 2.7 m in diameter, mounted on concrete supports. The repair addressed shell deformation near these supports. The reinforcement drawing specified four formed plates with a thickness of 6 mm.

The plates followed the cylindrical tank geometry. Preparation of the contact surfaces in the technical offer included grinding existing welds where the reinforcing plate would meet the vessel.

Installation approach and handover

Following a site survey, the installation proposal used jacks to raise the vessel without a crane or partial dismantling of the surrounding structures. The approach linked reinforcement fabrication with on-site handling and welding at the support locations.

Handover and final invoicing records confirm completion of the repair in June 2024. Reinforcement dimensions and quantities are stated according to the manufacturing drawing.

Outcome

Completed shell repair at the support locations of an existing tank.
