Another coordination problem — and how I solved it, tank after tank.
Execution support for API 650 storage tank construction projects (5,000–200,000 barrels) for major Oil & Gas clients, ensuring compliance with API, ASME and project technical standards from fabrication through field execution.
Major operators needed additional storage capacity built fast.
Every weld, every plate, traceable to API and ASME.
Multiple concurrent tank builds across sites and clients.
Standardize ITPs and inspection cadence across the program.
Coordinated inspection and testing activities, developed and implemented ITPs, and collaborated with engineering and construction teams across multiple concurrent tank builds.
Develop and implement Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs) and technical procedures aligned with API 650 and ASME.
Coordinate inspection and testing activities — PT, MT, VT, UT, RT — across fabrication and field.
Monitor progress and identify non-conformities tank by tank.
Implement corrective actions to maintain schedule and quality performance.
Close out per-tank dossiers and hand over inspection-ready assets.
Field inspections and NDT records flagged deviations early in the build.
Triggered corrective actions before non-conformities became rework.
Held the line on standard compliance even under schedule pressure.
Predictable handover to operations — tank after tank.
Delivered compliant, inspection-ready storage assets for Ecopetrol, Pacific Rubiales and Mansarovar, maintaining alignment between engineering, construction and quality across the program.
