The Build
Copelands specialise in creating tanks in various sizes and capacities, having previously supplied tanks totaling 75,000lt. Henry Colbeck’s required a tank with enough capacity to efficiently manage waste oil that would also fit into the limited space available at their factory.
After a site inspection visit, Copelands designed and manufactured a tank to accommodate the small space. Copelands designed and manufactured a 36,000lt Stainless Steel Waste Oil tank with an integral heating and cooling dimplex plate jacket. The fully insulated tank also has a Cat and Mouse fill level indicator gauge as well as internal and external access ladders. In addition, the coned top has a manway access hatch and an array of external DIN fittings and shut-off valves.
The Installation
The Copelands team managed and supervised the whole installation process including craneage to temporarily remove the roof to install the tank. Due to the high precision of the construction and planning Copelands were able to minimize Colbeck’s downtime with the tank being installed and roof replaced within 3 hours.
Copelands designed and manufactured the tank at their premises in Northern Ireland and completed installations for Colbeck’s in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear.
