PetroTechnik is now offering Cookson & Zinn underground storage
tanks with all tank compartment lids, tank chambers, entry seals and
pipework connections pre-fitted and tested.
On average, it takes seven to ten days to install a fuel system on a
filling station site. About two of those days are spent preparing,
installing and fitting out the tank chambers and associated entry seals
and tank top connections. That’s up to one third of the entire fuel
system installation devoted to working on the tank farm connections.
What’s more, it is not always possible to ensure a 100% leak-tight
installation on site as weather conditions and tight access often prove
a difficult challenge to the pipework installer. That’s why on many
sites it is common to see tank chambers full of water.
Now Petrotechnik offers pre-fitted tank chambers. To save significant
time and money on site, and to ensure leak free connections, the
tank is delivered to site fitted with “quick-connection” pipework stubs
ready to be electrofused to the main site pipe runs. All the equipment
is installed at the CZ works by trained and skilled engineers and, once
complete, all parts are vacuum tested at the relevant water-table
pressure for the burial depth of that particular chamber to ensure
their leak-tight integrity and a certificate is produced declaring that
the assembly is leak-tight.
The whole assembly includes fully fitted out tank lids ready for fuel
delivery, UPP electrofusion polyethylene tank chamber base sections,
UPP electrofusion entry seals for suction/pressure, vent, fill, VR2 and
electrical duct lines and UPP pipework connections.
