Mounded Bullet Tanks Engineering Support

This project involved specialized detailed engineering support for a large-scale mounded bullet tank facility dedicated to LPG storage. Due to the critical safety requirements of pressurized hydrocarbon storage, the structural integrity of the piping systems and the structural stability of the mounds and supports were of paramount importance. Deep Ocean provided robust mechanical and structural validation.

Project Highlights

  • Validated piping flexibility against significant settlement of the mounded tanks
  • Ensured all nozzle loads remained strictly within API 610/617 vendor allowable limits
  • Designed robust structural supports capable of handling dynamic relief scenarios
  • Maintained rigorous adherence to ASME B31.3 and local statutory safety codes

Outcome

The engineering design secured full regulatory approval and ensured long-term structural and mechanical integrity of the LPG storage terminal under all operating conditions.
