Anyone who has built a fuel storage tank in Afghanistan? Can you give me some tips on how to make a logical schedule for two tank pits with 3-five million liters tanks each?

    You’d also need a bund, and a fire fighting system.

    Depending on the fuel type, the tanks may be fixed roof, floating roof, or fixed roof with internal floating roof.

    Allow time for cleaning out the tank after construction.

    Commissioning will usually comprise of water test, and a fuel soak test. (plus usual commissioning of associated pipes, pumps, FFS, etc)
