Above-ground tanks
Lowest capital cost and simplest inspection. Requires separation distances from buildings, boundaries and ignition sources, protective bollards and a bunded, well-drained standing.
Engineering
Bulk LPG storage design
Storage is the heart of a reticulated system. We size, site and install tank farms and manifold banks that meet regulatory separation requirements, refill logistics and future demand.
How we size a tank
- Consumption profile
- Measured or estimated daily and peak-hour demand per appliance group
- Refill interval
- Tank sized so refills suit delivery logistics — typically 10 to 21 days
- Vapour off-take
- Vaporisation capacity checked against peak draw and ambient conditions
- Growth allowance
- Headroom for additional phases, kitchens or process lines
Installation options
Mounded or underground tanks
Where land is tight or visual impact matters. Cathodic protection, coating integrity and inspection provisions are engineered in from the start.
Cylinder manifold banks
GOT/LOT banks with automatic changeover suit smaller loads and phased developments, with a clear upgrade path to a bulk tank later.
Safety and compliance built in
- Separation distances and site layout per Kenyan LPG regulations and EPRA requirements
- Reinforced foundations and tank saddles designed for full-load and seismic considerations
- Relief valve venting, remote shut-off and emergency isolation
- Tanker filling point with spill containment, bonding and safe standing
- Fire water, extinguisher provision and hydrant coordination
- Level, pressure and temperature instrumentation with optional telemetry
