Case Study: Alicat Workboats Ltd – 110% Bunded Tank Hire
Overcoming technical issues rapidly, with precision, reliability and speed
Alicat are specialist providers of bespoke marine & engineering services. They had an immediate need for a tank to store diesel which would be used to fuel ships servicing the offshore industry.
They called ATI in desperate need of a bunded tank that met strict compliance and safety rules and that could be delivered as soon as possible.
Our extensive stock of bunded tanks in many sizes and our team’s rapid response to an unexpected technical problem enabled the project to be completed on time.
The Challenge
This project brought its own set of difficulties:
- Urgent need – the tank was required as fast as possible to avoid costly delays.
- Unexpected setbacks – Alicat couldn’t position the tank close enough to fuel their ships.
- Custom fittings – the standard 2 metre hose wouldn’t reach. A 20 metre hose was needed fast.
The Solution
We worked efficiently to put solutions in place:
- Quickly prepared and delivered a 73m³ 110% bunded tank from our substantial range
- Contacted our partner, Norfolk Hoses, getting them to make an extra-long hose with the correct fittings.
- Had the new hose delivered and set up within hours of the issue arising.
The Result
ATI’s swift response enabled Alicat to meet their deadlines.
‘After inspection we needed a solution to store some fuel from a vessel so urgent repairs could be carried out.
With one phone call to the team at ATI the storage solution was all sorted along with additional hose and the transport to our site.
This quick turnaround allowed us to complete the vessel repairs and return the vessel to service as planned, which we could not have achieved if ATI didn’t have such an extensive stock and the ability to customise to our specific needs’
