Automated Welding System for Storage Tanks – Bygging


Automated Welding System for Storage Tanks – Bygging

Storage tank fabrication requires equipment that can deliver consistent welding quality, reduce project timelines, and support safe and efficient tank construction. For large welded storage tanks, manual welding can be time-consuming and may lead to variations in weld quality depending on site conditions and operator skill. Automatic welding machines help address these challenges by improving welding speed, consistency, and overall project efficiency.

Bygging's Tank Fabrication Automation uses automated welding technology, including submerged arc automatic welding machines and electrogas welding machines. These Automatic Welding Machines are suitable for the construction of API 650 and API 620 storage tanks. These standards cover most types of welded storage tanks used for storing petrol, diesel, crude oil, water, fire-water, chemicals, and other liquids. Whether the project involves oil storage tanks, water tanks, or large industrial storage tanks, Bygging's automatic welding solutions are designed to support reliable and efficient tank fabrication.

Why Automatic Welding is Important in Tank Construction


One of the main advantages of using automatic welding machines is the significant improvement in welding speed. Compared to manual welding, automatic welding can complete welds much faster, helping contractors save valuable project time. This is especially important in large-scale tank construction, where the welding scope is extensive and delays can affect the overall project schedule.

In the case of large storage tanks, automatic welding is often not just preferred but practically necessary. The size and volume of welding required make manual welding inefficient for many large tank projects. Automatic welding machines allow contractors to complete long, continuous welds more efficiently while maintaining a consistent welding process throughout the job.

Improved Weld Quality and Lower Repair Incidence


Automatic welding also helps improve weld quality. Since the welding process is mechanised, it reduces the variability that can occur with manual welding. This leads to more uniform welds, better consistency, and fewer defects.

A major benefit of automatic welding is the reduction in weld repairs. Fewer repairs mean less rework, lower labour requirements, and faster project completion. In particular, when using submerged arc automatic welding, the repair incidence can be less than 0.2%. This makes submerged arc automatic welding a highly reliable option for storage tank fabrication, especially where high-quality welds and project efficiency are critical.

Compatibility with Bygging's Tank Jacking Systems


Flexible Jack Integration: Bygging's Automatic Welding Machines can be used in combination with Bygging's Hydraulic Tank Jacking Systems. For external welding, automatic welding machines can be used along with any of Bygging's tank jacks, depending on the tank size, project requirements, and site conditions.

However, for internal welding to be carried out automatically, the welding machines must be used in combination with Bygging's retractable jacks. Retractable jacks provide the required access and clearance inside the tank, allowing the automatic welding machine to operate effectively for internal welds. This combination is especially useful for contractors who want to improve both the speed and quality of internal tank welding.
