First
Project in Turkey
Tank
refurbishment by Tankbau GmbH of a fuel storage tank of
the US Air Force in Incirlik/Turkey. The 50 year old
underground steel tank has a storage capacity of 2,000 m³
and is intended for the storage of jet fuel. The
vertical cylindric steel tank is located on a concrete
raft foundation but has no concrete shell on the
outside. Because of the heavy corrosion a reinforced
shotcrete wall and a steel fiber concrete bottom was
executed on the inside of the tank. The GRP-lining
according to the tba-system was applied in May/June 2006. |
