Offenbach / Germany, February 2019 --- At StocExpo Europe, the leading international event for the bulk liquid storage industry, which will be held from 26 to 28 March in Rotterdam/The Netherlands, Keller will be presenting on stand J3 its expertise as an experienced provider of a wide range of geotechnical services in the area of tank farm foundation. Illustrating its capabilities, the company will highlight its recent contribution towards the expansion of GPS Group's tank farm at Amsterdam Westpoort (GPSA). Using its technology of CMM® Columns with Mixed Moduli Keller provided a customized, streamlined solution for the reliable foundation for this tank farm in a challenging, soft soil, offering significant time and cost savings over conventional deep foundations with driven piles.

Beyond, visitors to the Keller booth will find a multitude of examples on how the company has for years been developing and using specialist techniques for the foundations of heavy structures in soft soils, such as oil storage tanks in swampy coastal areas. The company shows how its custom-made ground improvement techniques can help to optimize costs and construction time all over the world, and how these advanced technologies are applicable to deep soil treatments to avoid any future expensive remediation operations.

Further services offered by Keller include the restoration of existing tank storage facilities exhibiting excessive settlement and inadequate structural stability, as well as the encapsulation and immobilization of contamination. In addition, Keller's subsidiary GeTec, a company specializing in providing instrumentation and monitoring solutions for a wide range of applications, can provide real time remote monitoring of foundations and tanks during operation.
