Having the different work programs overlapping meant teamwork between the various DIALOG Fitzroy crews was vital, and the fact we were able to deliver a one-package solution to Worley was critical.??The team was able to apply the latest in tank repair technology, including a Mega Blaster, Vacuum Loaders and Robotics for high productivity blasting and a new DIALOG Fitzroy innovation, a cantilevered rolling scaffold design was provided for access to the internal top strake.
Special mention was made by Worley & OMV on the professionalism, safety and quality of the DIALOG Fitzroy tank services team, as the efficient coordination of all activities for tank recertification projects can be difficult. This project also had to overcome the particular challenge of working safely under strict COVID protocols within a confined location and the team were able to successfully complete this tank recertification project with zero injuries, within the timeframe agreed and below budget.?
