Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

It has been noted that certain competitors of ours have finally woken up to the ethic of constant investment in new equipment to keep a company moving forwards with the most up to date and modern Tanks and Silos.

Here at ATI we have invested in excess of £200,000 per year over the last 14 years, we have a fleet of Tanks and Silos that can be delivered easily on normal trailers, once again something our competitors have just woken up to!

Our tanks are maintained to the highest standard that is possible, this elongates the life of these units exponentially.

ATI Tank Hire Ltd are ISO9001:2008 accredited, we are purely hire, we do not stock rusty tanks for sale that can be painted to earn a quick buck in the hire market, our equipment is built “with Hire in mind”.

The Olympic Park

ATI Tank Hire Ltd. have been pleased and proud to have supplied tanks and gravity silos to the Olympic Park construction.

Our scope of supply has ranged from Vertical Storage tanks for Bentonite, Open Top Tanks with sparge pipes for Polymer sand removal and Horizontal tanks for water, bunded tanks for Diesel fuels to keep site plant operating.

We have been supplying tanks through several different companies involved in the construction along with supplying many Hire companies who cross hired our equipment to the end users.

The Lee Tunnel

The Lee Tunnel is the first of two tunnels, which will collectively capture an average of 39 million tonnes of sewage a year from the 35 most polluting combined sewer overflows (CSOs), built by the Victorians as part of a sewerage network that still serves London 150 years on.

The £635m tunnel will tackle discharges from London’s largest CSO at Abbey Mills Pumping Station in Stratford, which accounts for 40 per cent of the total discharge. The four-mile tunnel will run beneath the London Borough of Newham from Abbey Mills to Beckton.

It will help prevent more than 16 million tonnes of sewage mixed with rainwater overflowing into the River Lee each year, by capturing it and transferring it to Beckton Sewage Treatment Works, which is being expanded by 60 per cent to enable it to deal with the increased volumes.

ATI Tank Hire Ltd are proud to be involved with this contract that was awarded to MVB Joint Venture, we have been supplying multiple 30 m³ water storage tanks whilst the 80 mtr deep vertical shaft was sunk to accommodate the Tunnel Boring Machine that arrived in July 2011. Ongoing ATI are supplying tanks to supply large volumes of water needed by the TBM - Busy Lizzie (named by local primary school) whilst constructing the 7 mtr diameter tunnel.

Various Landfill Sites

ATI are supplying bunded tanks at many Landfill sites throughout the UK for the storage of Landfill Leachate prior to treatment.

The most common method of handling collected leachate is on-site treatment. When treating leachate on site, the leachate is pumped from the sump into the treatment tanks. The leachate may then be mixed with chemical reagents to modify the pH and to coagulate and settle solids and to reduce the concentration of hazardous matter.

Further treatment is typically a modified form of activated sludge to substantially reduce the dissolved organic content. Nutrient imbalance can cause difficulties in maintaining an effective biological treatment stage. The treated liquor is rarely of sufficient quality to be released to the environment and may be tankered or piped to a local sewage treatment facility.

London Cable Car

ATI are currently supplying storage tanks for storing bentonite to assist in the construction of the London Cable Car which will run between the Greenwich Peninsula at The O2 to the Royal Docks at Excel Exhibition Centre.

The new cable car system will soon be carrying approximately 2,500 people across the river Thames every hour, doing the equivalent work of 40 buses.

The Shard

ATI was happy to supply 300 m³ of wet bentonite storage for the construction of The Shard. Our contract was to install 6 horizontal tanks in an underground car park just adjacent to London Bridge Tube Station.

ATI supplied forklifts and hiab lorries along with personnel to complete the installation over 4 nights starting only after the tube lines had finished at 11pm. 5 months later ATI had to do exactly the reverse and remove the tanks for return to Great Yarmouth to be prepared for future contracts.

Bishopsgate Tower - The Pinnacle

The Pinnacle which is also known as The Bishopsgate Tower is a 288 m (945 ft), 63-storey skyscraper under construction in the centre of London's main financial district.

ATI supplied 8 large vertical wet bentonite storage tanks, a Gravity Silo and a water tank to assist in the large diameter bored piling contract for Bachy Soletanche, these piles are believed to be the deepest in ever constructed in the United Kingdom.

Wessex Water

ATI were contracted to build 2 large mixing tanks to mix heavy granular lime into a Lime slurry for the treatment of sewage.

The 2 large mixers were purchased from lightnin and all modifications were to the units were done at our workshop in Great Yarmouth by our Fabrications and Welding Teams. Delivery took place using one of our trusted Hiab Lorry suppliers to Chippenham and Malmesbury where ATI personnel set up and commissioned the mixing tanks.

The Tyne Tunnels

Over the years ATI have been extremely proud to be associated with many projects in a wide variety of sectors and the Tyne Tunnels is one of them. The Tyne Tunnels exist to provide a crossing point under the River Tyne between North and South Tyneside and are located between Wallsend and Jarrow.

During the project ATI supplied storage tanks to Bachy Soletanche for the storage of bentonite and seperation tanks and wier sets for the settlement of excavation water. Vertical tanks were also supplied to hold water for mixing with the bentonite when required.

Carnary Wharf

ATI has been involved with various companies working on Carnary Wharf, originally in the early 1990s where we supplied 20 x 38 m³ wet bentonite tanks for the piling and foundation work prior to the erection of the Carnary Wharf Tower, also Herons Quay.

Recently ATI has supplied more bentonite tanks and water tanks for further development to the Swiss Re Building also known as the Gherkin Building, Crossrail Station and other buildings.

The newest addition to our ever growing acid tank range is the Roto Moulded, Low Density Polyethelene lined Acid Transportation Tank. These units are certified to T14, DNV 2.7-1, RID/ADR, EN12079, lift and transport full.

These tanks cost in excess of £23,000 each and represent ATI's commitment to the North Sea Oil and Gas sector which was the initial reason for the company forming back in 1983.

Fuel Bank Style Horizontal Tanks

December 2009 our fleet of large bunded tanks was complimented with 5 off, 50 m³ "fuel bank" style, self bunded, horizontal tanks. Suitable for onsite storage of non-corrosive chemicals and fuels. Built in accordance with PPG2 (Pollution Prevention Guidelines 2) and in accordance generally with BS799.

Open Topped Tanks

Late 2008, due to customer requirements, we introduced four 38 m³ open topped tanks to the fleet, acquiring a further four in February 2009, they proved to be so popular we acquired a further four in August 2009 taking the total to twelve.

Each one of these open topped tanks can be supplied with a removable Sparge pipe for aeration of the products within to aid settlement or to agitate further. All twelve are suitable for use with standard hook lift lorries or with mobile cranes or hiab lorries using the certified slings and shackles provided.
