Learning about above-ground storage tank basics will be beneficial for any Professional Engineer that works in the Refining or Chemical Industries. As a Project Engineer, Project Lead, or Designer, you may have these components as part of your overall project. If you are not a Tank Designer but deal with tanks in your profession, this course is for you.

This basic beginner course will benefit Professional Engineers who do not work in the Tank Design and Project Management field on a daily basis. The course provides terminology, definition, and basic knowledge so that you will feel comfortable discussing tank design, inspection, and construction aspects.

Basic knowledge courses are more appealing to Professional Engineers, not only in the relevant field the course focuses on. They provide broadly-based knowledge, definitions, and vocabulary to expand your knowledge without major time investments and lengthy internet research. If you ever wanted to know more about the basics of above-ground storage tank design, construction, and inspection, choose this course. You will not be disappointed.
