Start of the Project: Laying the Foundation for Excellence
This section details KNR’s scope of work for the Foundation for 2 ea 5,000 bbls Tanks project undertaken for Petoil in 2022. Our focus was on delivering a safe, stable, and code-compliant foundation for the two 5,000-barrel storage tanks.
The project’s success begins with a solid foundation.
- Detailed Engineering & Design: KNR engineers collaborated with Petoil to develop a comprehensive foundation design considering factors like soil bearing capacity, tank weight distribution, and seismic load requirements. This design ensured the foundation would meet all necessary safety and stability regulations.
- Material Procurement & Quality Control: KNR procured high-quality construction materials, including concrete, steel reinforcement, and any necessary geotechnical materials (e.g., gravel, crushed rock) for proper foundation construction. Stringent quality control measures ensured all materials met project specifications.
- Permitting & Regulatory Compliance: KNR obtained any necessary permits from local authorities before commencing construction activities. We ensured strict adherence to all relevant building codes and safety regulations throughout the project.
During the Project: Building With Quality and Safety at the Forefront
With a detailed plan and secured materials, KNR’s skilled construction team meticulously executed the foundation construction process.
The project’s success begins with a solid foundation.
- ite Preparation & Excavation: KNR conducted any necessary site preparation activities, including clearing vegetation and precise excavation works to achieve the designated foundation depth based on the engineering design.
- Foundation Construction & Reinforcement: KNR constructed the foundation using high-quality concrete and steel reinforcement as per the approved design. This may have involved pouring concrete footings, constructing foundation walls, and ensuring proper curing procedures.
- Quality Control & Testing: Throughout the construction process, KNR implemented rigorous quality control measures and conducted inspections to verify the foundation’s structural integrity and adherence to design specifications.
Finalizing the Project: A Smooth Handover and Ongoing Support
The final stage focused on ensuring a smooth handover of the completed foundation to Petoil and offering any necessary support.
The project’s success begins with a solid foundation.
- Project Handover & Documentation: Upon completion, KNR provided Petoil with comprehensive handover documentation. This may have included detailed foundation design drawings, as-built drawings reflecting any field modifications, construction records, and quality control test reports.
- Commissioning Assistance (optional): Depending on the project scope, KNR may have assisted Petoil with commissioning the storage tanks on the completed foundation. This could involve verifying proper tank alignment and levelness.
- Ongoing Support & Collaboration: Beyond project handover, KNR remained available to address any questions or concerns Petoil may have regarding the foundation and offer support during subsequent storage tank installation phases.
