The strength, resilience, and flexibility of our MSE walls for oil and gas facilities, give our clients the confidence to meet their various demands like designing structures under extreme loading conditions, building on poor soils, and building in remote and environmentally sensitive locations.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Industrial development normally involves foundation preparations and stabilization. This work is carried out with our MSE walls for oil and gas facilities\u00a0and we address sub-grade reinforcement, erosion control, drainage, and waterproofing.<\/p>\n
The industrial landscape often requires large amounts of excavation, clearing, and earth retention in support of future structures. These sites require temporary and permanent grade separations, retaining walls, roads, bridges, and platforms. We answer to these needs with Reinforced Earth\u00ae MSE walls, TerraTrel\u00ae<\/a>\u00a0wire faced retaining walls, and TechSpan\u00ae<\/a>\u00a0precast concrete arches.<\/p>\n Our experience extends to processing natural gas or crude oil, shale deposits or oilsands and our structures support:<\/p>\n Storage tanks and impoundment facilities are key infrastructures in oil and gas operations. In these structures, secondary containments are built to mitigate risks and damage because of tank failures. Our MSE walls for oil and gas facilities are built to create areas of confined space to impound spilled hazardous liquid for treatment, conveyance, and controlled disposal.<\/p>\n Our engineers are experts in designing containment solutions that are accepted worldwide. We use techniques and materials that are inherently designed to meet safety standards for rapid thermal shock and explosions. Reinforced Earth\u00ae walls are proven through full-scale cryogenic testing and live accident documentation to perform under extreme conditions. For instance, stable structural performance at temperatures of -160 degrees C\u00b0 for liquid natural gas, and up to a flame temperature of 1100 degrees C\u00b0 has been documented. Our walls are also designed to mitigate damage caused by explosions and bombardment. A series of tests spanning 40 years confirms the efficient performance of Reinforced Earth\u00ae structures subjected to high-level pressures.<\/p>\n Due to their high resilience and ductility, our MSE walls for oil and gas facilities are capable of withstanding natural forces such as earthquakes, hurricanes, rockfalls and avalanches.<\/p>\n Our teams works with engineers to solve problems relating to storage tank settlement. As opposed to cast-in-place walls, our ring wall mitigates the effects of settlement. These walls can shift naturally with the tank bottom, which controls differential settlement between the center of the tank and the edge of the tank.<\/p>\nProduction and processing<\/h2>\n
