API Tank Design & Detailing Support for a Global EPC Contractor
Client Profile:
A leading EPC contractor working on an oil & gas terminal expansion project approached YSC India for urgent and accurate API 650 Tank design and drafting support.
Client Challenges:
Tight Project Deadline
The client needed design and drawings for multiple API 650 storage tanks within a 3-week window to meet their procurement schedule.
Incomplete Input Data
The provided tank layout and basic parameters were inconsistent and required technical validation.
Lack of In-House Expertise
Their internal team lacked experienced mechanical designers familiar with the latest API 650 code updates.
High Risk of Revisions
Previous drafts from other vendors were returned with major comments from the client’s PMC (Project Management Consultant).
YSC India’s Solution:
Quick Mobilization
Within 24 hours, we deployed a dedicated team of 1 senior design engineer and 2 draftsmen experienced in API 650 and pressure vessel design.
Data Clarification
Our team identified missing input details and proactively coordinated with the client’s project engineer to finalize design inputs.
Smart Design Tools
We used advanced design software (AutoCAD, PV Elite, and MathCAD) and YSC’s in-house API tank calculation sheets to ensure compliance.
Code Compliance Check
Each design was double-verified with the latest API 650 standards, including seismic, wind, and nozzle loading considerations.
Fast Turnaround
Complete fabrication drawings, GA drawings, and nozzle schedules were delivered in just 15 working days, with full design documentation.
Results Delivered:
Zero Revision
All drawings were approved by the PMC without any technical comments.
Repeat Work Awarded
Impressed by the quality and speed, the client awarded YSC additional tank design packages.
On-Time Delivery
We helped the client meet their procurement deadline and avoid penalties.
Long-Term Collaboration
This project marked the beginning of an ongoing partnership for mechanical design services.
