Tank jacking is a specialized technique that allows us to hydraulically lift storage tanks to access the bottom or repair foundations without complete tank dismantling. This approach saves significant time and money compared to traditional tank disassembly and reconstruction.
Our experienced team has successfully jacked tanks of various sizes throughout Western Canada, addressing foundation settlement, performing bottom repairs, and enabling foundation improvements while the tank structure remains intact.
Cost & Time Savings
Tank jacking typically reduces project duration by 40-60% and costs by 30-50% compared to complete tank disassembly and reconstruction.
Controlled, safe tank elevation
Complete foundation repair capability
Faster than full disassembly
Engineered lifting systems
Comprehensive tank jacking and sliding solutions for various applications.
Lift tanks to repair or replace deteriorated foundations, address settlement issues, and improve structural support.
Elevate tanks to access and repair tank bottoms without complete disassembly. Replace corroded bottom plates while shell remains intact.
Slide or relocate tanks to new positions on-site. Useful for site reconfiguration or moving tanks to improved foundations.
Address uneven settlement by jacking and releveling tanks. Restore proper tank geometry and prevent operational issues.
Jack tanks to install improved foundations, add ringwall reinforcement, or implement better drainage systems.
Rapid response jacking services for emergency foundation failures or critical settlement issues requiring immediate attention.
A systematic, engineered approach ensuring safety and success.
Structural analysis of tank condition, foundation evaluation, and jacking system design. Determine jacking points, load distribution, and lifting procedures.
Tank emptying and cleaning, site access preparation, and mobilization of hydraulic jacking equipment and support systems.
Install hydraulic jacks at engineered locations, set up monitoring systems, and implement safety protocols and redundancy.
Gradual, synchronized lifting of tank with continuous monitoring. Maintain level elevation and structural integrity throughout lift.
Perform foundation repairs, bottom access work, or other required tasks while tank is elevated. Complete all work to specifications.
Controlled lowering of tank onto repaired foundation, removal of jacking equipment, final inspection, and return to service documentation.
Tank jacking solves a variety of storage tank challenges.
Correct uneven settlement that causes operational issues, structural stress, or regulatory concerns.
Replace cracked or deteriorated concrete ringwalls without complete tank disassembly.
Access severely corroded tank bottoms for replacement while preserving shell and roof integrity.
Install improved drainage systems, add slope to foundations, or address water accumulation issues.
Add structural reinforcement to foundations that were inadequately designed or have degraded over time.
Restore proper tank level after settlement, preventing operational issues and ensuring safety.
