New 3D Holding Tank Layouts

Monday, November 16th, 2009

TBW 3 & Legend

We have just published our new 3D Holding Tank Layouts which we think are much easier to understand than our previous versions. They still cover above and below  waterline installations with added notes.

They can be viewed with the parts legend by just clicking the photo or a full 360 degree animation can be downloaded. If the loop or repeat button is switched on in your player then the layout will just carry on rotating.

Well actually, when Mike Perham started his round-the-world voyage, he was just 16. And on the 27th of August 2009, he became the youngest person ever to sail round the world.

As the supplier for Mike’s fuel tanks we have been keen to follow his journey.

Outside help for the Tek-Tanks Team

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

The Tek-Tanks team all firmly believe we make the best plastic tanks….and we do. Knowing this we can sell with confidence and help you choose the right tank for your application.

 Regular training by Alex Petty from Action Coach (a business coaching franchise) have brought the team on leaps and bounds. Do visit his website for more information.

Funding from Train to Gain allowed us to get Roger Dyer from MAS South East (Manufacturing Advisory Service) to come in and do a complete process mapping exercise in the office and workshop. We mapped out our movements from picking up the phone from the first contact with the customer to shipping the tank and found we had travelled a total distance of 1450 metres! A bit of office equipment shuffling and some pretty major changes in the workshop reduced this to 840 metres for an average tank. This saving in time and movement will enable us the build at least 60 more tanks per year.

David Hudec from Practical Partners has been a huge help with all our operational systems development. By linking our accounts package to some very clever spreadsheets we can now tell exactly what stage each tank is at.
