Storage tanks, equipment installation, mechanical and piping works, commissioning and maintenance for refineries and petrochemical plants.

ASKAY has worked inside some of Türkiye’s largest refineries, building API 650 crude and product tanks at TÜPRAŞ Aliağa, TÜPRAŞ Batman and the STAR Refinery, and carrying out a five-year full maintenance contract at TÜPRAŞ Aliağa. In petrochemicals, we carried out equipment installation and pipe spool fabrication and erection at the SOCAR Polymer HDPE plant in Baku.

We plan and execute our work around live plant operations, with permit-to-work, hot-work controls and turnaround schedules agreed with the operator.
