Engineering Design of Storage tanks

Tech Altura consultants work with design engineering consultants and provide technical expertise to finalize the tank farm design and storage plants. Tech Altura consultants ensures project plan for construction of new sites or re-construction of the ones are meeting the standard, local, regional or international requirements.

Installation of Storage tanks

Gaining access to storage tanks sometimes be difficult depending on the size. We rig tripods up at the hatch to lower personnel down into the tank. This also enables them to be winched out quickly in an emergency. Tech Altura’s rope access and confined space rescue experience make this a very safe method of working.

Painting and Marking of storage tanks

Pipes and storage tanks, such as those found in the chemical industry or in the maritime and offshore sectors, usually contain substances that are hazardous to health and can pose a risk to people working in these environments. The new global ISO 20560 standard ensures greater occupational safety by standardizing the marking of pipes (above ground) and tanks.

API Inspection of Static Equipment

Tech Altura is the largest third party API Inspection company in UAE and Our American Petroleum Institute (API) inspection team covers,Piping Inspection(API 570) and Above Ground Storage tank Inspection(API 653), and Pressure Vessel Inspection (API 510)requirements for UAE and international clients.

Our Pipe line integrity management and Piping Inspection includes Pipe line feasibility study, Pipe line inspection procedure and budget developments, reporting and recommendations etc. TECH ALTURA offers comprehensive package of consultancy and project support services with the capability of performing industry focused research and development contracts. Our expertise having skills and experience in materials and material science, electro chemistry , corrosion and life assessment.

In many situations, it is not possible to find out the surface  area of a  given assets, such as a pipeline or a heat exchanger.  Where the mode of damage is pitting corrosion, we   provides a range of services to obtain required information for confident life assessment.

Using extreme value statistical methods, TECH ALTURA’s API Inspection Engineers calculate the expected depth of the deepest pit based on inspection results from only a small fraction of the surface area.  The extent of inspection required depends on the severity and quantity of the pitting damage.  In cases where there is excessive or little to no pitting, inspecting 10% of the total area is often sufficient.  In cases that are indistinct, we use sequential decision theory to implement inspection test plans based on the degree of risk associated with each case.

API Inspection can perform in both phases of Manufacturing Phase and   Operation Phase as per API 570 standards.
