Design and Engineering Phase

Once the requirements are clear, the design and engineering phase kicks off. Dennerik’s team uses CAD software to make detailed 3D models of process tanks. We consider tank size, materials, pressure needs, and access points for maintenance. The engineers and designers are experienced in this work.

Material Selection

Choosing the right material is crucial in ensuring the durability and longevity of the fabricated steel process tank. Dennerik Engineering assists clients in selecting the appropriate steel for tanks. This is done by considering factors such as the intended use, environmental conditions, and regulatory requirements.

Fabrication Process

With the design finalized and materials selected, the fabrication process begins. Dennerik Engineering partners with trusted fabrication facilities equipped with state-of-the-art machinery and skilled welders. The fabrication process involves cutting, shaping, welding, and assembling the steel components according to the approved design specifications.

Quality Control and Inspection

Quality control is paramount in the fabrication of steel process tanks. Dennerik Engineering conducts rigorous inspections throughout the fabrication process to ensure that the tank meets the highest quality standards. Non-destructive testing methods, such as ultrasonic testing and visual inspections, are employed to detect any potential defects or imperfections.
