Brief Description & Technical Specifications

The project includes two concrete tanks with a capacity of one million barrels and two concrete tanks with a capacity of 500 thousand barrels.

Due to strict requirements on waterproofing the tanks regarding the environmental aspects, the tanks were designed and built using sliding formwork system to prevent the fuel penetration into the nature. Maroun-Omidieh strategic oil tanks are the first and the only concrete ones in Iran.
