Expert Bulk Storage Solutions in Hull
Established over 70 years ago, Robert Sanderson has built a reputation as a leader in bulk storage solutions. Our expertise spans the complete lifecycle of storage tanks, silos, and pressure vessels, from initial design and engineering to fabrication, installation, and ongoing maintenance. With a dedicated team of professionals and state-of-the-art facilities, we deliver tailored solutions to industries including food processing, chemicals, and petrochemicals. Our 2,600m fabrication area and 1.5-acre storage yard enable efficient production of large-scale equipment up to 4.8m in diameter. We maintain rigorous quality control through in-house inspections and final client-approved checks, ensuring compliance with international standards like PED5500 and ASME.Our commitment to safety is demonstrated through comprehensive RAMS documentation and adherence to health & safety regulations across all projects. Clients benefit from our end-to-end project management, which includes design coordination, transportation logistics, and on-site installation. We also offer refurbishment services to extend equipment lifespan and ensure compliance with modern standards such as ATEX. Our in-house production of ancillary components like platforms and access systems guarantees seamless integration with primary storage solutions. With strategic proximity to Hull city centre, the M62 motorway, and Humberside Airport, we provide efficient service to clients across the UK and Europe.
