Introduction to ATECO

3. Ateco Tank Technology Company
• Ateco specialise in the Design and Manufacture of Storage Tankage
Equipment.
• we have been in business for more than 30 years.
• we manufacture all our Storage Tankage Products at our modern
fully automated facilities in Turkey
• we are the supplier of choice for most of the international operating
companies
• we do not outsource manufacturing and seek to source all material
from within Europe.
• we also have an office in the UK – Ateco UK Ltd.
• we are the only company of its type in the world that can claim to
manufacture all the standard equipment on an above ground
hydrocarbon liquid storage tank

4. Ateco Tank Technology Company
• Ateco employs over 100 people at our Head Office and
Manufacturing Plants in Turkey and UK including a
worldwide network of agents and distributors who
provide expert knowledge and customer support
• Ateco limit our scope of supply to the “first flange “on
the tank, therefore, if the equipment is on the tank then
it is within our normal scope of supply – we are a supply
only company and do not take on site installation work.
• Ateco operate within the quality guidelines of ISO 9001
• Ateco Design and Manufacture storage tank equipment
to most internationally recognised codes, e.g. API, BS,
ISO, ASTM, ASME, NFPA11, AWWA and the various
Certification Engineer requirements such as Lloyds,
SGS, DNV, etc.

5. Ateco Tank Technology Company
Ateco design and supply a complete range of storage tankage
products and services: including:
aluminum internal floating roofs – pontoon and full contact
primary and secondary seal systems for internal and external
floating roof tanks
roof drain systems for external floating roof tanks
floating suction units for fixed roof tanks
flame and vapour control instrumentation
emission control solutions
firefighting equipment for storage tanks

6. Ateco Aluminum Geodesic Dome Roof

7. Aluminium Geodesic Dome Roof
• the Ateco Dome Roof is manufactured from aluminum
which is one of the world’s most commonly used
metals
• its lightness, coupled with its strength and excellent
corrosion resistance are the main reasons for it being
used in the design of the Ateco Dome Roof
• there are three main component parts in any Dome –
Extruded Profiles, Nodes Points and Panel Sheets
• the Ateco Dome Roof can be used on tanks used to
store most products

8. • the Ateco Dome Roof is a system of triangular,
lightweight Extruded Profiles - each and every profile
acts in either in compressive and tensile mode to resist
loading
• the profiles are connected through Node Points
transmitting loads laterally to the Integral Tension ring
and then through Supports to the tank shell and tank
foundation
• the framework is covered with minimum 1.2 mm thick
aluminum alloy Panel Sheets
• each of the extruded profiles and therefore each of the
triangles can be of different lengths

9. SLIDING SUPPORT – Free Vented SLIDING SUPPORT – Vapour Tight
FIXED SUPPORT – Free Vented FIXED SUPPORT – Vapour Tight

10. • the Ateco Dome Roof is an all bolted structure and no welding is required at site for its
assembly and erection
• the Ateco Dome Roof fully complies with the requirements of API 650 Appendix G
• any equipment that you have on a conventional steel tank roof can be fitted on the Ateco
Dome Roof
• The applied loads (up to 500 lbs/sqft) and taken into consideration in the design of the
Ateco Dome Roof consist of: live load, dead load, wind load (up to 175 mph) and seismic
factors
• The Ateco Dome Roof is normally fitted on a “free vented” tank however if required we
can fit a vapour tight dome roof

11. The Ateco Dome Roof standard design is offered with the
following features:
Gauge Hatch Assembly
Access/Manway Assembly
Centre Free Vent
Skylight Assembly
Free Vented Design with Sliding Supports & Bird Screen

12. • The Ateco Dome Roof can be
designed to support an aluminum
internal floating roof – suspended
IFR.
• The Ateco Dome Roof is normally
designed with a maximum radius
equal to 1.2 times the tank diameter
and the minimum is 0.7 times the
tank diameter, this equates to the
ratio of dome height to tank
diameter of about 1:6
• 30,000 mm diameter tank – dome
height is approximately 5,000 mm

13. The Ateco Dome Roof can be assembled inside the tank and lifted into its final position
using either a crane or a system of pulley blocks
Ateco can supply all the necessary assembly and erection equipment and tools or provide
details if customer wishes to source locally
If using the “jacking method” to erect the tank, the Ateco Dome Roof is fitted on the top
course and jacked up with the shell

15. MAIN ADVANTAGES OF ATECO ALUMINUM GEODESIC DOME
ROOF
• Ateco Dome Roof is a self-supporting structure - internal roof supports are not required
• Ateco Dome Roof lightweight construction means that when fitting on an existing external
floating roof tank - it is not necessary to reinforce the tank shell
• Ateco Dome Roof is fitted with an Integral Tension Ring to avoid any additional stiffening
requirement of the tank shell
• Ateco Dome Roof does not require painting, EVER - in this respect it can be considered
as maintenance free for the entire lifetime of the tank

16. Inspection and Supervision Services
Ateco has qualified and experience engineers who can support the installation of all Ateco
tank equipment on site, we also offer Inspection Services to give advice on the operation,
suitability, maintenance, repair or replacement of all Ateco supplied tank equipment.

17. Ateco Dome Roof Quotation
The Ateco Dome Roof is normally supplied on the basis of the
Ateco Standard Terms and Conditions for the Preparation of a Quotation
for Goods.
The Ateco Dome Roof is supplied to ex works Turkey and
packed in sea going containers.
Typically Delivery to ex works for an Ateco Dome Roof; 30,000
mm (100 ft.) nominal diameter tank is in the order of 14 weeks.
A breakdown of the Delivery is as follows:
Prepare Detail Engineering Drawings: 5 weeks
Manufacture : 7 weeks
Final Inspection and Packing: 2 weeks
Total: 14 weeks to ex works from acceptance of Purchase
Order.
A 30,000 mm (100 ft.) Ateco Dome Roof with standard
accessories should be shipped in 1 No x 40 ft. container

18. Ateco Dome Roof Quotation
Technical Details:
Typically 30,000 mm (100 ft) Ateco Dome Roof, with standard accessories has an installed weight of
9,500 kg (approx. 10 Tons)
The Number of Sliding Supports would be 28 No.
Load transferred through each Sliding Support (Dead Load + Live Load) to tank shell is 28.3 kN
Assembly and Erection:
5 skilled skilled labour x 10 hours per day x 6 days a week x 4 weeks: approximately 1200 Man-hours.
Ateco recommend complete assembly and installation by a competent tank contractor and if not
familiar with the Ateco Dome Roof they should retain the services of an Ateco Supervisor.

19. Aluminum Dome Roofs
Geodesic – means the shortest line between two
points on a curved surface.
The complex design of the dome structure is carried
out using the latest finite element method (FEM). The
propriety software used by Ateco enables us to
maximize the domes structural strength, minimize
the number of different beam lengths and by
optimizing the panel size Ateco has developed a
dome with the minimum number of rings

DISCLAIMER
Ateco does not claim or seek to claim
that the domes in these photographs
are Ateco Domes.
