In a ten-month period, TTI-FSS fabricated and erected a 250,000Bbls capacity tank as part of a customer’s storage expansion in Guatemala. The tank is 187’ in diameter and 48’ high, with an aluminum dome, an aluminum floating roof, and floating suction.

Trucking goods in-country and for export became the primary shipping method, and the customer needed the
storage tank to be completed in a short period of time to meet the growing demand for diesel fuel and the complex logistics of increased ship deliveries.

The Covid-19 pandemic challenged TTI-FSS’s operational processes, both on the individual level as well as at the national level. Our expert crew and our civil and paint contractors, however, quickly adjusted to social distancing—taking all necessary hygiene steps to prevent getting sick—and TTI-FSS can proudly state that the job was concluded successfully without a single case of illness.

Additionally, the TTI-FSS crew had to perform work under strict country curfew laws and travel restrictions,
while assuring that all members had stored food and water in case quarantine restrictions became more severe.

Even with all the difficulties, the project was completed on time and on budget with no safety incidents.
