Energy Provider

A prominent energy provider approached us with a unique challenge: designing a custom 13-meter-long, 300mm-high bunded diesel tank for a data centre with severe access restrictions.

Challenge

The tank needed to be both structurally sound and compliant with stringent regulatory standards. This project required not only innovative engineering solutions but also a rapid turnaround to meet tight deadlines. The primary obstacle was ensuring the tank's integrity over such an unusual length and height while navigating the logistical hurdles posed by the site constraints.

Solution

Our team tackled this challenge head-on by employing a combination of advanced design techniques and finite element analysis (FEA) to ensure structural integrity. We innovated with the inclusion of structural beams within the tank, which provided the necessary support without compromising the design's compact form factor. This bespoke approach exemplified our commitment to tailored solutions, demonstrating our capability to adapt to specific client requirements. Additionally, we adhered to all relevant regulations, using FEA to validate our design and ensure compliance with industry standards.

Results

The result was a one-off, custom-designed diesel tank that met all of the client's requirements. From concept to delivery, the entire project was completed in just 8 weeks, underscoring our rapid prototyping capabilities and technical proficiency. This swift turnaround not only highlighted our ability to respond to client needs efficiently but also reinforced our reputation for delivering high-quality, compliant solutions. Our client was extremely satisfied with the final product, which not only solved their immediate challenge but also demonstrated our expertise in providing comprehensive, turnkey engineering services.
