The fuel industry is one where the product is sold ‘sight unseen’, moving from refineries/terminals, to trucks, to underground tanks and then into customers vehicles through equipment and systems that are designed to keep customers, community and environment protected from the inherent risks of these dangerous goods. A key element of this system is the underground fuel storage tanks. ACAPMA Partner FibreTank Petroleum specialises in fiberglass relining of existing underground fuel storage tanks which provides the fuel industry with a cost effective and efficient alternative to new fibreglass fuel storage tank installations.
FibreTank Petroleum trained technicians ensure a simple, quick, and highly efficient relining process for clients. TheFibreTank Petroleum service includes additional services such as double wall fibreglass relining, tank valve installation.
“This can be conducted on live tanks so there is no need to disrupt the operation of the client’s site), fuel storage tank cleaning, inspections and reporting. By working closely with our clients, we strive to complete the job safely and promptly, minimizing disruption to the site’s operational performance”, says Managing Director Mitch Dawkins.
“Our innovative approach allows us to provide flexible options to our clients, such as the ability to split or partition fuel storage tanks for adding alternative products or increasing the volume of a particular product to the client’s site. This helps the client maintain a competitive edge in the industry”, continues Mr Dawkins.
FibreTank Petroleum offers the fuel industry a reliable, cost-effective, and efficient solution for their fuel storage needs through fibreglass relining of fuel storage tanks and related services.
“One of the key advantages of our process is reduced operational downtime. The downtime for tank relining is substantially less than that of a new tank installation, meaning our clients can get back to full operation much faster and minimise any disruptions to their business. Our process is also highly effective”, outlines Mr Dawkins.
“In addition, our process is highly cost-effective. The costs of new tank installations can be 2-3 times higher than our tank relining process in some cases, while achieving the same end result.
“At FibreTank Petroleum, we take pride in our commitment to safety for our workers, clients, and the public. We understand the importance of creating a safe and healthy workplace environment. Our team undergoes rigorous safety training and follows strict protocols to ensure that all projects are completed without compromising anyone’s well-being. What sets us apart from our competitors is our ability to provide clients with a safer, faster, and more cost-effective solution.
“We continuously strive to explore innovative approaches and techniques that not only meet the highest industry standards but also offer enhanced efficiency and superior results. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies and industry best practices, we are able to streamline operations and optimise project timelines without sacrificing safety. This allows us to complete projects in a timely manner, saving both time and money for our clients.
“Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to delivering exceptional service and exceeding client expectations. We understand that each project is unique, and we tailor our approach to meet the specific needs and requirements of each client. With our collaborative approach, we ensure open communication, transparency, and a partnership built on trust”, explains Mr Dawkins.
Success story
FibreTank Petroleum, recently embarked on its first major project – the double-wall fibreglass relining of two 150,000 litre diesel tanks for Telstra at one of their data centres in Australia.
This opportunity was a significant milestone for the company, and although lacking an extensive job portfolio, the FibreTank team leveraged its expertise and delivered exceptional results. They worked closely with the client, building a strong rapport and ensuring open lines of communication to align their strategy and deliver a solution that not only met but also exceeded Telstra’s requirements.
One of the key strengths of FibreTank Petroleum was its ability to collaborate effectively with other contractors on site. The attention to detail, thorough planning, and efficient execution ensured that the work was completed to the highest standards, meeting Telstra’s expectations.
The successful completion of this project provided FibreTank Petroleum with a solid foundation for future growth. Telstra’s satisfaction served as a testament to the capabilities, opening doors for future opportunities within the industry.
“With each project, we continue to build on our success, expanding our job portfolio, and establishing ourselves as a leader in the industry. Moving forward, FibreTank Petroleum remains committed to delivering excellence and exceeding client expectations.
