One of the primary industries we serve is the oil and gas industry. We assist them in the exploration and refining of petroleum along with transporting it through oil tankers and pipelines. Petroleum is a valuable raw material for many chemicals and the products they create, including fertilizers, solvents, plastics and pharmaceutical products.

Design and Maintenance

Petroleum products are usually kept in storage tanks, which must be designed to meet rigid requirements. If oil leaks out into the ground and water, it can cause massive devastation to the environment. Modern technology is utilized in the construction of these tanks to detect leaks and to prevent them. Many of the tanks have backup methods to prevent spills if part of the system fails.

While above-ground tanks are often easy to maintain and inspect for leaks, underground storage is much more difficult. However, an underground leak can go on for a significant period of time and cause massive devastation. Hydrocarbons that make up refined petroleum can last in the ground for many years after a leak.

It is critical to hire a company for the construction of tankers and pipelines that has the experience and knowledge of the industry and the regulations which govern petroleum companies. Great River Industries is dedicated to building products that not only meet federal, state and local regulations but to maintain them and replace them after their lifespan is finished.

We keep our team up to date on current regulations for the oil and gas industry to ensure our construction is compliant with federal, state and local requirements. We continue to maintain and inspect the storage units as necessary or recommended to eliminate any potential issues.
