The tank has been supplied in rolled plates to be assembly and welded on site as following
descriptions:
a) For the erection set up please refer to the attached drawings.
b) The bottom will be supplied in plates to be position and fit upped on the tank foundation
using a suitable crane . Lifting holder will be welded on each plate to be use for the
lifting in to final positioning of the same. After the position the fit up will start and as
soon completed welding has to be perform.
c) The plates will be positioned on a leveled concrete foundation where the circumference
of the shell plates (fabricated shell plates) has been identified by guide plates tack
welded on the bottom. As soon all the plates composing the shell plates are on position a
plate fit up will be execute. In order to avoid the bending of the plates along the welding
area, steel devices will be fixed and the bending will be controlled and adjusted during
the welding with pins. Completed the welding the devices will be removed and the used
tack welding will be cleaned with grinder. Time by time the shell plates will be
supported by profiles in order to avoid any collapsing and any misalignment. To erect
the tank shell scaffolding will be erected. The above operation will be repeated three
times in order to complete the tank shell.
d) The welding of the shell to the bottom shall be practically completed before the welding
of bottom joints that may have been left open to compensate for shrinkage of any welds
previously made is completed.
Shell plates may be aligned by metal clips attached to the bottom plates, and the shell may be
tack welded to the bottom before continuous welding is started between the bottom edge of
the plate and the bottom plates.
e) Secondly, Tank roof shall be assembled as follow:

Tracing, positioning and welding of the roof plate on the shell;


Erection of roof supports scaffolding on the tank middle;
Dismounting of the support scaffolding.

Erection of the service platforms and ladder will be performed using a suitable crane.
The platform and ladder anchor plates will be welded on the tank shell. After this operation
the erection activities will start.

f) The three shell including tank roof should be lifted with suitable capacity crane.Second
shell is now aligned and welded (all welds) to the bottom side of third shell according to
drawing. Similarly, all the shell plates are erected (second, first) accordance with the
drawing.

g) Welding shall be done between bottom shell and bottom annular plates (fillet welded)
from both sides.
The initial weld pass inside the shell shall have all slag and non-metals removed from
the surface of the weld and then examined for its entire circumference prior to welding
the first pass outside the shell. (temporary weld fit up tacks excepted), both visually and
by any one of the following methods to be agreed to by purchaser and manufacturer;
a. Magnetic particle.
b. Applying a solvent liquid penetrant to the weld and then applying a developer to the
gap between the shell and the bottom and examining for leaks after s minimum dwell
time of one hour.
c. Applying a water-soluble liquid penetrant to either side of the joint and then
applying a developer to the other side of the joint and examining for leaks after a
minimum dwell time of one hour

6.3.5 Fit up of Assembly


Before fit up, the components and fittings shall be visually checked for inside cleanliness.
The fit up shall be carried out as per the requirements of WPS & drawing. Fit up shall be
carried out by using bridge tacking within the grooves using a qualified welder. Arc shall
be stuck inside the groove and not on the inside or outside surfaces of shell plates.
6.3.6 Inspection of Assembly
Inspection of fit up assemblies including dimensional check shall be carried out prior to
release for welding.

6.3.7 Welding Joints


All welding procedures and welder qualifications shall be according with EN 15614-1

Requirements of the WPS, specification of piping and HSE practices shall be followed.
Weld joint number shall be written near the joint by solid paint marker. Only qualified welders shall
be used for Tacking & Welding. All temporary Tacks/ bridge shall be removed one by one (by
grinding) as the welding progresses. Continuous welds shall be used for all horizontal top side joints
and for vertical joints. Horizontal bottom-side joints shall be seal-welded if specified by the
purchaser. Seal welding should be considered to minimize the potential for entrapped moisture,
which may cause corrosion.
Full penetration butt-welds shall be used for joining ring section. Tanks and their structural
attachments shall be welded by the shielded metal arc, gas metal-arc, gas tungsten-arc or flux-cored
arc Process using suitable equipment. All tank welding shall be performed in accordance with the
requirements of related drawings and welding procedure specifications. Welding shall be performed
in a manner that ensures complete fusion with the base metal. Each layer of weld metal or multi
layer welding shall be cleaned of slag and other deposits before the next level is applied.
The edges of all welds shall merge with the surface of the plate without a sharp angle. For
vertical butt joints, the maximum acceptable under cutting is 0.4mm of the base metal. For
horizontal butt joints, undercutting not exceeding 0.8mm in depth is acceptable.
During the operation, plates shall be held in close contact at all lap joints.
Note:
o Break all sharp edges, remove all burrs, and spatters
o Base plate fillet welds shall be continuous
o All Nozzle above 2 NB shall be provided with reinforcement pads and all RF pads shall be
provided with M6 Tap hole.
o All structural attachments to Tank or roof shall be continuous seal welded
o Nozzle pipe shall be seamless.
6.3.8 Visual Inspection of Joints Before, During and after Welding

QC / Welding Inspectors shall perform in-process visual inspection before, during and after
completion of welding of the joints.

Joints.

b)

Under cutting does not exceed the limits given for vertical and horizontal butt joints. For
welds that attach nozzles, manholes, cleanout openings, and permanent attachments, under
cutting shall not exceed 0.4mm.

c)

pores) in any 100mm of length, and the diameter of each cluster does not exceed 2.5mm.

6.3.9

Identification of Joints and execution of NDE


The QC / Welding Inspector shall identify the joints to be offered fort NDE as per
requirement & the applicable piping specifications.
As welding progresses, control shall be taken as soon as it is practicable. The contractors
inspector may determine the location where the control are to be taken.

o QC Inspector shall organize for NDE as per the requirements . HE shall also organize for
NDTs repairs. The QC inspector shall be responsible for interpretation and reporting of

Hydro testing
After the entire tank is completed but before any permanent external piping is connected to the tank,
the shell (except for the shell of tanks designed in accordance with accordance Appendix F) shall be
tested by one of the following methods

a. If water is available for testing, the tank shall be filled with water as follows:
(1) To the maximum design liquid level, H;
(2) For a tank with a tight roof , to 50mm (2in.) above the weld connecting the roof plate or
compression bar to the top angle or shell; or
(3) To a level lower than that specific in sub item one or two when restricted by over flows, an
internal floating roof, or other freeboard by agreement between the purchaser and manufacturer.
The tank shall be inspected frequently during the filling operation, and any welded joints above the
test-water level shall be examined in accordance with item b.
b. If sufficient water to fill the tank is not available, the tank may be tested by
(1) painting all of the joints on the inside with highly penetrating oil, such as auto mobile spring oil,
and carefully examining the outside of the joints for leakage;
