LPG Tank Systems
The tank is the hardest element to change later in a central gas system, so it deserves a decision based on consumption, site area, filling-truck access and clearance requirements. We help owners weigh above-ground against underground on practical criteria, then carry out site preparation, installation and connection.
Above-ground vs underground
- Above-ground: faster installation, easier inspection and maintenance, needs visible space
- Underground: frees site area and reduces visual impact, needs more careful site preparation
- Selection is affected by plot area and clearance requirements
- Selection is affected by filling-truck access
- Selection is affected by future expansion plans
Scope of work
- Capacity sizing from consumption and refill frequency
- Location, clearances and filling route definition
- Base or excavation preparation according to type
- Tank setting and accessory installation
- Connection to the pressure reduction stage and network
- Periodic tank and surroundings inspection within the maintenance programme
Deliverables
- Capacity and location study
- Installed and connected tank
- Filling access arrangement
- System documentation within the network drawing

Frequently asked questions
Which is better: an above-ground or underground tank?
There is no absolute better option; the decision depends on site area, clearance requirements, ease of inspection, budget and expansion plans, and is settled after a site survey.
Can an existing tank be replaced with a larger one?
Yes, where space and clearance requirements allow. The service covers site assessment and preparation, connection of the new tank and network testing before operation.
Have a project or an existing facility that needs an engineering review?
