Walter Tosto WTB, the former Fecne plant on the IMGB platform, recently delivered to Azerbaijan 6 gas storage tanks (underground tanks), each with a mass of 360 tons, a length of 56 meters and a capacity of 1,650 cm. The tanks are among the largest equipment ever manufactured by the Romanian industry. The length of these storage units is half a football field, an absolute record for Romanian industry, according to Business Review.
“The equipment manufactured at Walter Tosto WTB is not the heaviest or most complex ever made in Romania, but it is the biggest in terms of length. In the same hall where these were produced, much more complex equipment was created for the Cernavoda Power Plant,” says Emanuel Babici, former IMGB director, former deputy minister and state secretary of the Industry Ministry, currently the vice-president of the Uzinsider group of companies.
The construction of the equipment took 9 months, and was completed entirely at the Walter Tosto WTB factory. From here, the giants left to Oltenita, from where they were transported directly to the client.
