Oil Tanks: 

Los Angeles is the second largest oil-producing county in California. We have oilfields in Wilmington, Inglewood, Long Beach, Santa Fe Springs, Placerita, and Beverly Hills. Sentinel Peak Resources, Marathon Petroleum Corp, and Phillips 66 own the oil refineries. Los Angeles’s oil & gas industry is a major contributor to state and local tax revenue that support schools, public safety, and infrastructure programs. RayAccess is proud to support the oil and gas industry by painting oil storage tanks. We paint tanks made of carbon steel, stainless steel, reinforced concrete, and plastic. Oil tanks need to safely contain oil without any leaks as the oil moves from production to distribution. 

Water Tanks:

Holding water is the most common application for all storage tanks. Not hard to believe, given that water is the most important resource on earth. Water tanks come in all shapes, sizes, and roof types. Roof types include 10-30 degrees, inverted, flat, oversized, and open tops. RayAccess can rig the various roof types and paint the entire water tank via our industrial rope access crew. We paint water tanks made of timber, concrete, steel, fiberglass, and plastic.

Hazardous Waste Disposal:

California state law has penalties and fines for improper hazardous waste disposal. Paint is a hazardous waste and can’t be spilled out. It’s essential to only hire a licensed paint contractor that performs each job in compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.

Access Methods: 

The biggest fear with painting a large storage tank is falling. Industrial tank projects require painting crews to work at very high elevations. It’s essential to hire a team of painters that have expertise with a wide array of access methods. RayAccess employs a team of certified industrial rope access technicians by regulating bodies SPRAT & IRATA. 

Industrial rope access is a non-motorized work positioning system using top anchors to provide safe climbing, descending, and horizontal positioning. The positioning equipment is routinely inspected, and a comprehensive job safety analysis is implemented before each job. Benefits of rope access include greater safety, speed, versatility, and cost efficiency.  

In addition to rope access, RayAccess has expertise across the full spectrum of access methods including boom lifts, swing stages, suspended scaffolding, and extension ladders. We often use a combination of access methods to achieve three objectives. The three objectives for each tank painting project and main focus at RayAccess is safety, quality, and efficiency.

Process:

• RFP: to best assess the client’s needs a complimentary job walk is usually performed. A proposal is submitted and pricing is based on materials, total square footage, access difficulty, and surface preparation requirements.
• Surface Preparation: the storage tank needs to be thoroughly cleaned in order for the paint to be long-lasting. Metal storage tanks are prone to rust. The level of damage to the substrate will dictate how much pressure washing or sandblasting is needed to prepare the surface for paint adhesion.  
• Paint Application: most paint applications require 2 to 3 coats. RayAccess uses high-performance paints including PPG paints, and TNEMEC.      
• Finishing Application: if any signage or logo is part of the scope a finishing coat will be applied. RayAccess has experience using templates to fulfill brand guidelines.
