Case Study — Jebel Ali, UAE

Bulk Fuel Storage Tank Farm — Jebel Ali, UAE

Weatherproof aluminum sheet cladding across 8 flat-roof vertical fuel storage tanks totalling 8,400 SQM in the Jebel Ali free zone.

The Challenge

Site Conditions

Flat-roof fuel storage tanks in Jebel Ali are exposed to intense solar heat gain and seasonal sandstorms, both of which accelerate insulation degradation and increase fuel temperature-related product loss if left unprotected.

The Solution

Our Approach

We designed and installed plain aluminum sheet cladding (1.0mm) engineered for wind-load resistance across all 8 tanks, with corrugated panel profiles chosen to shed sand and rainwater away from seams.

The Result

Outcome

8,400 SQM of tank surface area is now shielded from solar heat gain and sandstorm abrasion, reducing thermal load on stored fuel across the full tank farm.
