Customer wanted to optimise their storage capacity in preparation for the closed spreading season. Original pipework on the inside of the tank was deteriorating which was sucking in air, also 2 metres of material needing disposing from the bottom of the tank.

The job got massively bigger when we saw that the walls had deteriorated and needed to be redone, great thing about Circular is, once identified, we contacted Circular the day before asking if they could sort the walls out and the answer was yes. Circular had the contacts and could rejig the work around to sort the whole project which was fantastic.
There is always something you didn’t expect when starting a project, with Circular Renewables no matter what the problem they can either find the parts needed, the specialist firm needed or just get stuff working again, we know that when Circular guys are on site it’ll get fixed.
