J. de Jonge TankX has strengthened its footprint in Asia through the successful completion of a major tank jacking operation on Pulau Bukom, Singapore. The company lifted a 76-metre diameter external floating roof storage tank as part of a broader maintenance and upgrade initiative, marking a key milestone in its regional expansion strategy.
The project, executed in collaboration with PEC Ltd, involved intricate planning and engineering precision. A comprehensive tank jacking calculation was performed prior to the lift to ensure full structural control, accuracy, and safety throughout the operation. The next phase of work will include foundation tilt correction, bottom and annular plate replacement—critical steps in restoring the tank’s long-term integrity and operational reliability.
In a demonstration of cultural awareness and commitment to safety, the project began with traditional Indian and Chinese blessing ceremonies held on site. These rituals underscored the importance of teamwork, respect, and shared responsibility in a complex industrial environment.
TankX credited the successful execution of the lift to strong collaboration between all partners involved. “This complex operation was carried out as one team,” the company stated, extending special thanks to PEC Ltd for its cooperation and dedication throughout the project.
The Pulau Bukom project highlights TankX’s growing role in delivering advanced tank maintenance and lifting solutions across Asia, reinforcing its reputation for technical excellence, cultural integration, and safety leadership in the global energy infrastructure sector.
