Core EPC

Tanks & Terminals: engineering-led EPC for bulk liquid storage terminals, tank farms, and refinery tankage.

Chemie-Tech delivers engineering-led EPC for bulk liquid storage terminals, tank farms, refinery tankage, and related terminal infrastructure across major industrial delivery environments.

Terminal EPC

One of Chemie-Tech's longest-standing and deepest delivery capabilities.

Chemie-Tech delivers storage terminals, tank farms, refinery tankage, and associated terminal systems from front-end definition through fabrication, construction, commissioning, and handover.

This is a sector where execution quality depends on more than tank fabrication alone. Layout logic, civil foundations, piping interfaces, firefighting systems, loading systems, control integration, and handover discipline all need to work together.

Chemie-Tech engages either as lead EPC contractor or as a defined scope partner inside wider prime EPC structures, with clear accountability for the parts of terminal scope it undertakes.

Terminal Proof

Depth built through repeat terminal and tankage delivery.

Storage-terminal delivery is supported by project references across refinery tank farms, inland fuel terminals, bulk storage infrastructure, and associated brownfield expansion works.

Delivered Scale 100M+ BBL

Aggregate storage capacity delivered across terminal and tankage references in multiple geographies.

Project Record 80+ Terminal Projects

Terminal and tankage references delivered across refinery, fuel, and bulk liquid storage environments.

Tank Scope

Fixed, floating, and low-pressure tanks.

Aboveground and underground storage systems executed across API 650, API 620, and related terminal configurations where applicable.

Terminal Systems

Piping, loading, fire, and control interfaces.

Tankage is integrated with manifolds, pump systems, metering, utilities, firefighting, automation, and site infrastructure.

Delivery Modes

Greenfield terminals and brownfield expansion.

Scope can range from complete new terminal delivery to expansion, revamp, repair, and live-facility integration work.

API Monogram

API 650 Monogram capability.

Chemie-Tech is authorised to apply the API Monogram to applicable API 650 tanks produced within the scope of its licensed quality system.

Quality Marker Documented fabrication and quality controls aligned to licensed monogram requirements

Terminal Reach

References across multiple regions.

Terminal and tankage references extend across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, South Asia, and Oceania rather than a single domestic market.

Delivery Context Major storage references delivered in refinery, terminal, and bulk-liquid operating environments

Scope of Delivery

Integrated terminal scope across the full delivery chain.

Terminal execution depends on coordinated engineering, tankage delivery, mechanical systems, site infrastructure, controls, and handover discipline.

Engineering

FEED through detail engineering.

Plot plans, process design, and multidisciplinary coordination across piping, E&I, and mechanical systems developed around terminal execution requirements.

Engineering Scope Process, Mechanical, Piping, E&I, and 3D Modelling

Civil & Structural

Bulk earthworks, piling, and heavy foundations.

Reinforced concrete structures, bund walls, piperacks, and administrative facility buildings designed for high-stakes industrial loads and site stability.

Infrastructure Scope Piling, foundations, structural steel, and masonry

Logistics (Rail/Road)

Rail and truck loading/unloading systems.

High-speed rail gantries, automated truck loading bays, weighbridges, and vapour recovery systems to manage land-based throughput and custody transfer.

Land Interface Rail gantries, truck bays, and land-side logistics

Tankage

Fabrication and erection of major storage systems.

Aboveground and underground tankage delivered across fixed roof, floating roof, cone roof, and specialised terminal storage configurations where applicable.

Execution Scope Fabrication, erection, hydrotesting, and coatings

Marine Topsides

Jetty facilities and port-to-shore interfaces.

Marine Loading Arms (MLAs), berth piping, gangways, and topside port facilities coordinated to manage the critical interface between sea vessels and shore storage.

Port Scope Jetty piping, loading arms, and offshore interfaces

Terminal Systems

Interconnecting piping, manifolds, and transfer pumps.

Interconnecting piping networks, manifold systems, and utility tie-ins coordinated as a single fluid system within the wider terminal environment.

Interface Control Piping, manifolds, and utility distribution

Protection

Fire, safety, and containment systems.

Foam systems, fire water networks, bunds, drainage, emergency isolation, and detection networks form the protective infrastructure of the terminal delivery.

Protective Scope Firefighting, containment, and emergency systems

Control Systems

Automation and operator-facing systems.

Control integration, tank gauging, ESD, CCTV, access control, and metering are delivered as native terminal functionality rather than separate afterthoughts.

Control Layer Instrumentation, monitoring, and operational visibility

Delivery Context

Greenfield, expansion, and live-site execution.

Chemie-Tech manages greenfield terminals, port expansions, and brownfield revamps where interface control and operational continuity are critical.

Execution Environment Greenfield, expansions, and operational sites

Terminal Environments

Where this delivery capability is applied.

Terminal EPC is applied across refinery tank farms, inland fuel terminals, bulk liquid storage, product movement infrastructure, and related storage environments.

Bulk Liquid Storage

Commercial terminals and tank farms.

Terminal configurations supporting storage, transfer, receipt, and dispatch of petroleum, petrochemical, aviation-fuel, and chemical products.

View Terminal References

Refinery Tankage

Crude, intermediate, and product tank farms.

Large-scale refinery tankage packages executed as standalone tank farm scope or as part of wider refinery development environments.

Explore Refinery Scope

Fuel Logistics

Truck, pipeline, and dispatch interfaces.

Loading bays, pipeline tie-ins, manifolds, transfer systems, metering, and associated control infrastructure executed within terminal scope.

View Core Capabilities

Brownfield

Expansion, revamp, and operating-site integration.

Existing terminals can require new tanks, revamps, repairs, or added systems delivered within live operating conditions and interface constraints.
