Tankfarm

From planning to turnkey handing over!

We can draw on many years of know-how for the planning and turnkey construction of tank farms.

A tank farm is an extensive combination of various systems that have to communicate with each other. Furthermore, almost all imaginable mechanical trades (earth and foundation work, building construction, pipeline construction work, steel construction work, electrical installation work, etc.) are required here, which must be planned accordingly and well organized.

With regard to the commissioning of a tank farm with all the necessary ancillary and handling facilities, it is certainly the best solution for the customer to get all of this from a single source. Here we offer our extensive services. SCHERZER offers all services from planning, the necessary permit applications and construction management to turnkey construction including commissioning. It is also possible to work on an open book principle or by order and for the account of the customer.

Do not hesitate to include us in your basic ideas. A great experience is an important tool for the customer when implementing such tank farm projects. Of course, SCHERZER also offers the planning and construction/modernization of ancillary systems and sub-systems of a tank farm.

In addition to the storage and handling facilities, the conception and planning of tank farms includes operationally necessary structures such as:

  • Power supply
  • Construction services such as foundations and containment rooms
  • Office, social and workshop buildings and control room
  • Road construction and road surfaces
  • Track construction for rail traffic inside the tankfarm
  • Drainage and separator systems
  • Piping systems and pump stands
  • Steel structures for road roofing and pipe routes
  • Heat and cold generators
  • Compressed and control air systems
  • Corrosion protection
  • Earthing and lightning protection systems
