10,000 Litre Bunded Stainless Steel Vessel

 Noreside Engineering has successfully completed the manufacture of a 10,000 litre bunded stainless steel vessel, now prepared for shipment to a client in the Netherlands. Designed and fabricated to meet the demanding standards of regulated manufacturing environments, this vessel demonstrates Noreside’s capability to deliver high-specification stainless steel process equipment for international clients.

Stainless Steel grade 316

The vessel has been manufactured using 316 stainless steel, a material widely used in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical production due to its excellent corrosion resistance and hygienic properties. Stainless steel grade 316 is particularly suited to environments where product purity, durability, and long-term reliability are critical.

Double Skinned Construction

One of the key features of this vessel is its double-skinned construction. The inner vessel holds the product, while the outer skin, fabricated from 2mm stainless steel, acts as a protective bund. This bunded design provides an additional layer of containment, helping to manage potential leaks and offering enhanced safety for production environments where spill control is essential.

Bundled vessels are frequently used in industries where regulatory compliance and environmental protection are priorities. By incorporating an outer containment layer directly into the vessel design, manufacturers can significantly reduce the risk associated with product loss or contamination.

Quality assurance

Quality assurance was a central part of the fabrication process. All welds on the vessel have undergone pen and dye penetrant testing, a non-destructive testing method used to identify potential surface defects in welded joints. This testing process ensures that weld integrity meets strict engineering and safety standards, giving clients confidence in the structural reliability of the finished equipment.

The project highlights Noreside Engineering’s experience in precision stainless steel fabrication, particularly for clients operating in compliance-driven industries across Europe. From design and fabrication through to testing and final delivery, the project reflects the company’s commitment to producing robust, high-quality process equipment.

With vessels such as this now supporting manufacturing operations internationally, Noreside continues to strengthen its position as a trusted partner for stainless steel process equipment and engineered solutions.
