Keller Group
We are the industry leader in design-build foundation support for the upstream and downstream oil and gas storage sector. Let Keller dictate the capacity of your tank—not the ground you want to build it on.
Geotechnical construction solutions for tanks
Keller offers a broad range of geotechnical construction techniques tailored to the specific requirements of storage tanks and containment facilities. Our integrated design‑build approach enables us to evaluate site conditions and develop constructible, cost‑effective solutions that meet settlement criteria and operational needs.
Solutions may include ground improvement systems, deep foundations, or combined approaches to control settlement and improve foundation performance. Keller works closely with engineers, owners, and contractors to sequence construction efficiently and minimize disruption to ongoing operations.
Keller's experience in the tank industry
Keller has supported tank projects across the energy, industrial, and water sectors, delivering foundation and ground improvement solutions for critical storage infrastructure. Our experience spans new construction, redevelopment, and remediation, allowing us to tailor each solution to site‑specific conditions and performance requirements.
Whether improving a planned or existing site, we tightly control construction quality with state-of-the-art data-acquisition systems and monitor hydro-test performance to verify that tank foundations are within API tolerances. We have the tools and solution methods to work safely within the confines of upstream and downstream facilities to provide ground improvement and structural support.
Sector challenges we can solve
- Differential settlement and bearing capacity concerns
- Variable or compressible soils beneath tank footprints
- Foundation support for new tanks and tank expansions
- Ground improvement for large‑diameter storage tanks
- Support of tanks constructed on existing or reclaimed ground
- Remediation of distressed or settling tank foundations
