The PVS lifecycle

One specialist for the whole life of the vessel.

Buying a vessel, moving it, installing it and bringing it back into service usually means four different contractors. We handle every stage ourselves and document it on our quality platform, from first delivery to each recertification, so vessels move faster and nothing falls between suppliers.

New vessels from stock

More than 500 new vessels held at our Halifax site: 1,410, 2,200 and 4,600 litre, above ground and underground. Bespoke vessels up to 200 tonnes when standard sizes won’t do.

Refurbishment

LPG vessels refurbished and returned to service.

Vessels from 450 to 9,000 litres go through the same six stages in our Halifax workshop, on automated shot-blasting lines and in enclosed spray booths, with every stage recorded on our digital quality platform.

  1. Strip

    Our pyrolysis unit removes powder coatings and contaminants from the vessel.

  2. Blast

    Bead and shot blasting on our automated lines takes the shell back to clean steel, to Sa 2.5.

  3. Examine

    Qualified engineers test and examine every vessel to TM73, with results recorded digitally.

  4. Upgrade

    Fittings move to the universal stud pattern, with colour-coded durable galvanised steel lids.

  5. Prime

    A zinc primer coat is applied in our enclosed spray booths.

  6. Finish

    An industry-leading top coat, sprayed in an enclosed booth, taking primer and top coat to at least 200 microns combined. Then the PVS seal of approval.
