Hi anyone reading this:,Im new to this forum so I will explain a little about my business. Ive set up an engineering business on jersey channel isles about 13 months ago , Ive recently been lucky enough to take on a superbly talented fabricater welder with a lot of experience in the petro chemical industry (im a machinist and occasional welder job organizer) so we have between us a great skill base. The business is doing great, we've recently started getting good work in the island fuel storage facility. We have completed 2 tank restorations, repairing shell corrosion problems, pipe work modifications, I have also from this work been able to finance my welder friend to get re-tested to ASME9 6G tig & stick fill, as is necassary, (he can weld pipe i think as good flange jockey). Theres a big job coming up soon to refloor one of the tanks, the management will be in discussion about this and my approach us to see if we can help. Previously all the work done on this site was done by mainland based companies so you can imagine the costs ££££
My request here is , has any of you guys refloored a large storage tank involving cutting a large hole in the side of the tank, filling the base of the tank with hard core and tarmac(i Believe), then letting precut 8mm floor sections in a cartwheel pattern from the side of the tank,1 piece at a time, then welding it all up, sorting all the pipe work out meter etc etc. All this will be done im sure to official specifications and drawings.
And hopefully after all this we can retire rich. Would be nice
