Turnkey Petroleum Tank and Depot Construction Engineering Strength
In the petroleum and energy logistics sector, storage infrastructure is a critical asset. ATABAŞ GRUP, in partnership with a leading tank manufacturer, proudly offers turnkey construction of petroleum tanks, silos, and full-scale storage terminals. These solutions are developed for diverse operational needs across Libya, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Türkiye, and surrounding regions.
Our capabilities go far beyond standard contracting. We deliver fully engineered, site-ready installations, constructed to meet international safety codes and customized for each country’s regulatory framework.
Our Core Services in Turnkey Construction
We manage every aspect of petroleum storage system development—from initial concept design to the handover of operational infrastructure: Turnkey Petroleum Tank

By combining design excellence with material integrity and international expertise, we ensure the safe, scalable, and timely delivery of storage solutions even in the most challenging terrains and regulatory environments.
Professional Excellence in Petroleum Storage Infrastructure
Beyond physical construction, what defines a true industry leader is its technical mastery, operational discipline, and proven project delivery record. At ATABAŞ GRUP, we approach petroleum tank and terminal construction not only as builders, but as strategic engineers and logistical problem-solvers in energy infrastructure.
With over two decades of global experience, our team has executed multiple full-scope infrastructure contracts under complex environmental, regulatory, and geopolitical conditions. Every tank, every pipeline, every bund wall we construct reflects a commitment to long-term operational reliability and safety.
Full-Spectrum Expertise from Design to Delivery
Unlike standard contractors, our operations are rooted in deep multi-disciplinary knowledge, combining civil engineering, structural steelwork, energy regulation compliance, and advanced control systems.
Design Engineering & Planning
- Site Feasibility Studies: Risk assessments, seismic zone classification, soil load-bearing tests
- Customized Layouts: Facility master plans adapted to terrain, traffic flow, and expansion potential
- Regulatory Documentation: Construction permits, environmental impact reports, and safety case submissions
Construction & Implementation
- Steel Tank Erection: Welded vertical tanks, floating or dome roof systems, modular transportable silos
- Foundation & Earthworks: Heavy-duty slabs, anti-corrosion reinforcement, drainage systems
- Automation & Control: Remote telemetry, tank gauging, temperature and vapor sensors, leak detection
Safety, Certification & Lifecycle Services
- Fire & Spill Containment: NFPA fire rings, ATEX zones, deluge systems, and interlock safety
- Pressure Testing & QA: Hydrostatic tests, non-destructive welding inspections (NDT), and SCADA validation
- Maintenance & Rehabilitation: Tank re-coating, structural refurbishments, modernization of old facilities
