Tank Skirts

Durable protection to extend the lifespan of your storage tanks

Industrial storage tanks must meet strict safety requirements and environmental standards. Elements such as dust, rain, and wind can cause significant damage, leading to frequent maintenance or a shortened lifespan. Sidijk’s tank skirts provide an essential, durable solution to protect your assets and ensure operational continuity.

Expertise in the Petrochemical Industry

Sidijk has extensive experience in the petrochemical industry, providing high-quality solutions for all types of storage tanks. We are proud to have Slide Skirt as a long-term partner and customer, working together to deliver professional corrosion protection that stands the test of time.

Optimal Protection Against Corrosion and Weathering

The primary advantage of a tank skirt is its ability to protect the tank bottom against moisture ingress. Our skirts are made of high-quality coating cloth, securely clamped with an aluminum frame.

To ensure a 100% waterproof seal, each tank skirt consists of different segments finished with a high-frequency welded keder cord. This precision technology excludes the risk of tearing and guarantees that your storage tank remains completely protected from rainwater and debris, preventing corrosion of the steel tank bottom.

Compliant with NRB BOBO Guidelines

Environmental safety and soil protection are non-negotiable. Our tank skirts (also referred to as slide skirts) are designed in accordance with the NRB BOBO guidelines (Dutch Soil Protection Directive for Atmospheric Storage Tanks). This design focuses on preventing soil leakage and moisture ingress, which is vital for maintaining the structural integrity of the foundation and the tank itself.

Sustainable & PFAS-free: The PP Alternative

For companies prioritizing sustainability, we offer a green alternative to standard PVC. Our tank skirts are also available in PP material (polypropylene). This solution is 100% PFAS-free and fully recyclable, offering the same level of quality and durability while reducing your environmental footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tank Skirts

1. Why is a tank skirt essential for storage tank maintenance?

A tank skirt prevents rainwater, dust, and wind from reaching the sensitive area under the tank bottom. This prevents corrosion, which is the leading cause of structural failure and expensive maintenance in storage tanks.

2. How do Sidijk tank skirts comply with NRB BOBO guidelines?

Our skirts are specifically engineered according to the Dutch Soil Protection Directive (NRB) for atmospheric storage tanks. They are designed to prevent soil leakage and moisture ingress, ensuring your terminal meets all regulatory safety standards.

3. What makes the high-frequency welding of tank skirts superior?

Unlike traditional stitching, high-frequency welding fuses the materials together, creating a connection that is completely waterproof and stronger than the material itself. This prevents tearing and guarantees a much longer lifespan in harsh environments.

4. Can tank skirts be customized for any tank size or shape?

Yes. Sidijk specializes in custom solutions. We can manufacture tank skirts for all types and sizes of tanks, ensuring a perfect fit regardless of the diameter or specific requirements of your infrastructure.

5. Is there a sustainable, PFAS-free option available?

Yes, we offer tank skirts made from PP material, which is 100% PFAS-free and fully recyclable. It provides the same high level of protection and durability as standard PVC, but with a smaller ecological footprint.
