Storage tank solution falls under two major top-level categories: Locally Fabricated Tanks – are predominantly or mainly supplied and work on single walls. The tanks are non-complex. Generally, we fabricate tanks in different models such as; Mobile tanks, container tanks on the ground, and day tanks for generators. These types of tanks are fabricated in a single wall. Fabrication of double wall tanks in Nigeria is very complicated, and we have seen cases where such tanks started leaking after installing for about 7years and had to be downgraded due to poor specifications, and production. Double-wall tanks are supposed to give …

Why Choose HDPE Pipes?
HDPE pipe is a type of flexible plastic pipe used for fluid and gas transfer and is often used to replace ageing concrete or steel mains pipelines. The hardness and opacity of HDPE also mean it is capable of withstanding temperatures hovering around 248°F on a short-term or even a consistent 230°F compared to other polyethylene. HDPE pipes and fittings are utilized in a number of systems that demand piping capable of resisting corrosion because of its superb strength-to-density ratio. The unique characteristics of HDPE can be attributed to the pipe’s molecular structure which due to minimal branching allows it …
