The steel tank erection set-up is a very cost-efficient way of constructing large-volume cisterns and has been developed from our knowledge of controlled heavy lifting technique with hydraulic jacks.

Time and labour

The Bygging-Uddemann steel tank set-up allows a complete cistern to be erected with hydraulics without the need of expensive construction cranes and with the minimum amount of labour.
