Construction of 300,000L of Molasses Tank with Plinth Base

At Geemeg Engineering, every project begins with a clear vision and meticulous planning. When tasked with constructing a 300,000-liter molasses tank, we start by understanding the unique challenges posed by storing such a dense and viscous liquid. Recognizing molasses’ weight and flow characteristics, our engineers design a tank with durable materials, typically galvanized steel, ensuring it withstands both the product’s demands and environmental conditions.

Next, we focus on the foundation, the very base that will carry the tank’s immense weight for years to come. We craft a reinforced concrete plinth base, carefully measured and extended beyond the tank’s perimeter, providing a solid and level platform. This plinth is not just concrete; it is the bedrock of stability, engineered to distribute the load evenly and prevent any future settlement or deformation.

Our skilled team then brings the design to life, assembling the tank with precision. Every component—from screened vents managing vapor pressure to bolted outlets enabling smooth dispensing—is installed with attention to detail and adherence to safety standards. As the final touch, we secure the tank with protective covers, ensuring the stored molasses remains uncontaminated and fresh.

Throughout this journey, Geemeg Engineering combines technical expertise, innovative problem-solving, and a client-centered approach to deliver a solution that is safe, efficient, and built to last. This is our commitment: turning complex challenges into reliable, lasting infrastructure that powers your success.
