Symcom Exim recently completed a large-scale dismantling and disposal project for one of our esteemed clients, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. This project involved the dismantling and disposal of five above ground storage tanks, located at the Sabarmati facility in Ahmedabad, India. The tanks had varying capacities of 2800 KL, 2240 KL, 4800 KL, and 9600 KL.
The project scope involved the decommissioning and dismantling of five above-ground storage tanks, which were no longer in use. These tanks had served their purpose and were now deemed obsolete, which made their removal essential. The five tanks varied in size, but they all had a capacity of at least 2000 liters each. The tanks were located in the client’s premises, and the project site was situated within a busy industrial area, which posed a considerable challenge.
The project was initiated with a thorough assessment of the site and tanks to identify potential hazards and risks. Symcom Exim also obtained all necessary permits and approvals from regulatory authorities to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations. Safety was given utmost importance during the project, and all necessary precautions were taken to ensure the safety of our workers, site personnel, and the environment.
The dismantling process involved several steps, including the removal of all piping and connections, draining of the tanks, and removal of all ancillary equipment. Symcom Exim utilized specialized equipment and tools, including cranes and excavators, to safely and efficiently dismantle the tanks. The dismantled equipment was transported to our designated disposal site, where it was further dismantled and recycled.
Disposal of the dismantled equipment was done in an environmentally responsible manner, ensuring minimal impact on the environment. Symcom Exim adhered to all applicable environmental regulations and guidelines during the disposal process. We recycled all metal and other materials from the dismantled tanks, ensuring that they were disposed of safely and sustainably.
Throughout the project, Symcom Exim maintained a high level of communication with Indian Oil Corporation Ltd to keep them informed of progress and address any concerns or issues that arose. We completed the project within the agreed timeline and budget, exceeding the expectations of our client.
In conclusion, Symcom Exim is proud to have successfully completed this dismantling and disposal project for Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. We demonstrated our expertise in the safe and efficient dismantling and disposal of industrial equipment, while ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements and minimizing the impact on the environment. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Indian Oil Corporation Ltd and other clients in the future, delivering safe, efficient, and sustainable solutions for their dismantling and disposal needs.
