Turnkey Port Facilities
As part of our Specialist EPC business unit, Kentz has been providing port and tank farm solutions ranging from loading berth expansions and storage capacity increase through to complete turnkey solutions for new facilities. We focus these services within the oil, gas and petrochemical industries.
Port facilities include all disciplines, from civil and storage tanks through to tanker berthing telecommunications systems. We also include complete utility support services for the port and tank farms; a one stop solution.
Kentz specialise in building storage tank farm and systems that store petroleum, petrochemicals and specialty chemical products, delivering solutions that encompass complete design-build services for all components of storage systems including integration with existing port/tank farm operating systems. These systems are provided on an EPC basis.
Our storage tank experience includes the design and commissioning of storage tanks with diameters up to 42.5m, chemicals (from simple petroleum products to hazardous chemicals) and cryogenic applications as well as vapour recovery systems.
Kentz specialises in the integration of the tank farms whilst working within operating facilities, both for port and production units.
