Project Details
Stainless steel tank and silo design in compliance with Eurocodes c/w British National Annexes, using Robot Structural Analysis, Compress and Ansys software for calculations and Tekla Structures for modelling and drafting.
Two raw material silos and two oil tanks made of stainless steel 1.4404 (316L) located in Scotland.
Silo – volume 200 m3 and scantlings H x D = 10 x 5 m Tank – volume 150 m3 and scantlings H x D = 12 x 4 m
