Lifted Tank
Lifting tanks is a highly specialized art. To avoid serious liability problems, it must be done by the right people using the right technology.

(see API 653 Section B.1.3)

   
 

Lifting Tanks the Right Way

MTS's hydraulic jacking equipment and techniques provide the best way to ensure a safe, perpendicular, low-stress lift. Large refinery tanks can be easily lifted up to 10 feet in the air.

Whatever your tank lifting needs are, MTS is happy to work with you or your regular on-site contractors.

We can raise any size tank to the elevation necessary to accommodate your needs. We will perform the work in a professional manner, ensuring that your tank is lifted without inducing undue stress into the structure.

We will work safely, following both our company's safe work procedures and yours. We are committed to completing our work in a timely manner, because we realize the inconvenience and expense of an out-of-service tank.

Dismantling Water Tank

EXAMPLE OF A TANK LIFT AND DISMANTLING PROJECT

MTS was called to dismantle a 195' diameter water tank in Alberta, Canada. The tank had a dome shaped, self-supported roof and weighed 1250 tons. We used our "Hi-Lift Jacking System" to bring down the tank one course at a time in only 19 working days.

 
All work was done safely near ground level.

Our client realized a savings of approximately $350,000 over using conventional methods with cranes and high scaffolds.
