COFOT (Crude Oil & Fuel Oil Tanks) Construction and Mechanical Works Project

This project involved the construction of foundations for crude oil and fuel oil tanks, including protective walls, retaining structures, and various infrastructure works such as drainage lines, fire water lines, and oily water drainage lines. The project included concrete road and site surfacing, steel barriers, and fencing, along with concrete foundations for pipe bridges and cathodic protection.

Electrical and Instrumentation Works:

This project involves the installation of all energy lines for equipment related to SOCAR A.Ş.’s crude oil and fuel storage tanks in the Aliağa peninsula. It includes the mounting of all measurement instruments for tanks and pipelines, protective systems such as grounding, lightning protection, fire detection systems, and site lighting, camera, and communication systems. The project will conclude with the testing and commissioning of all systems, finalized by loading products into the tanks.

Additional Works:

The installation of 10 mixer motors and the corresponding mixers for SOCAR A.Ş.'s crude oil and fuel tanks is also included in the scope of work.
