our services
At DB Tankshell Reconditioning, we provide specialised technical services focused on maintaining, restoring and modifying ISO tank containers in line with operational and regulatory requirements. Our work is driven by precision, structural integrity and practical industry experience.
From surface preparation to certified welding and technical advisory support, each service is executed with attention to compliance, durability and long-term performance. We support clients in maintaining reliable assets that meet the demands of global intermodal transport.
Grinding, Sanding & Polishing
DB Tankshell Reconditioning performs specialised internal mechanical treatment of stainless steel tank containers.
This process is focused exclusively on the inner shell of the tank, where corrosion, pitting and residual product contamination can affect operational safety and inspection results.
Our work consists of a controlled sequence of grinding, sanding and polishing. Damaged or affected areas are mechanically treated to remove:
Corrosion and oxidation
Localised pitting
Hardened or adhered product residues
Surface irregularities affecting inspection or serviceability
The objective is not cosmetic finishing, but the technical restoration of the internal surface condition. Material removal is carefully controlled to preserve wall thickness and structural integrity of the stainless steel shell.
All work is performed manually by experienced technicians, allowing precise treatment of affected areas without unnecessary removal of base material.
This service supports periodic inspection requirements, extends service life and ensures the tank can safely return to operation.
Welding & Modifications
DB Tankshell Reconditioning provides specialised welding and structural modification services for ISO tank containers and related components.
Our work focuses on restoring structural integrity, repairing damaged sections and performing controlled modifications where required for continued service or specific operational requirements.
Welding activities are carried out by experienced technicians using appropriate procedures for stainless steel tank shells and structural components. Repairs may include the restoration of damaged areas, reinforcement of weakened sections and the replacement or modification of fittings and structural parts.
Typical welding and modification work includes:
Repair of damaged or worn structural components
Welding repairs on stainless steel tank shells
Replacement or modification of fittings and connections
Structural adjustments required for inspection or continued service
All work is performed with strict attention to material compatibility, dimensional accuracy and the preservation of the tank’s structural integrity.
Our welding and modification services ensure that tank containers are restored to a safe and reliable condition, ready for inspection and continued operation.
