Bitutainer™ Storage Facility
Modular storage for bulk bitumen
The Bitutainer™ Storage Facility is a modular, scalable system designed to provide efficient, safe, and flexible bulk bitumen storage wherever it’s needed. Unlike traditional fixed infrastructure, it can be deployed rapidly, scaled up or down to suit demand, and relocated as project requirements evolve. With minimal civil works and high resale value, it’s a smart, low-risk solution for projects where time, space, and capital are critical.
- Modular layouts tailored to your project
- Uses TEC’s Storage Bitutainers™ – High Capacity, High Performance, or MEST
- No bund wall or groundworks required
- Expandable to full-scale terminal configurations
Struggling with costly, time-intensive site builds?
Permanent storage terminals require major civil works, long timelines, and high investment. TEC’s modular facility eliminates bund walls and concrete foundations, cutting installation time and costs significantly, without compromising on capacity or compliance.
Need scalable storage that grows with your operations?
Whether you’re starting small or planning for expansion, the Bitutainer™ Storage Facility adapts. Its modular design allows you to increase storage capacity easily, with options ranging from a few tanks to full-scale terminals.
Worried about heat maintenance and product integrity?
Having modular storage means you have the flexibility to have dedicated tanks for specific grades, which can be managed individually and only heated as and when required. Unlike traditional tank farms, TEC’s solution uses insulated Storage Bitutainers™ — available in High Capacity, High Performance, or MEST models — to minimise heat loss, reduce energy consumption, and protect your product during long-term storage.
Operating in remote or temporary locations?
This containerised system is purpose-built for fast deployment in even the most logistically challenging environments. Delivered by standard transport methods, each tank arrives ready to operate, making it ideal for project sites, seasonal demand, or emergency operations.

Example projects
Remote site storage without costly infrastructure
To support ongoing infrastructure development, a 2000MT modular storage facility was deployed to enable flexible bitumen handling on demand. The operation avoided continuous heating and storage in traditional vertical tanks, instead, operators only heated what was required, cutting fuel use and costs.

Can I customise the size of my Bitutainer™ Storage Facility?
Yes, the facility is fully scalable. Whether you’re storing 200MT or 5,000MT of bitumen, we tailor the setup using our Storage Bitutainers™ to suit your project size, site layout, and throughput needs.
See our video for a visual on the scalability of the facility.
What heating options are available for stored bitumen?
We offer a range of heating solutions to suit your needs, from electric immersion heaters to high-efficiency direct fire burners to thermal oil system connectivity, designed to maintain product temperatures with minimal energy loss.
Which Storage Bitutainers™ can be used in the facility?
You can choose from High Capacity, High Performance, or MEST Storage Bitutainers™, each offering different levels of thermal efficiency, mobility, and storage volume to suit your specific project needs.
Is the facility suitable for long-term storage?
Absolutely. The Bitutainer™ Storage Facility is engineered for both short-term use and permanent infrastructure, with robust materials and insulation systems that ensure safe, efficient bitumen storage in all climates.
How does this compare to traditional vertical tanks?
From installation time to cost to mobility, there are many reasons to opt for the Bitutainer™ storage option. Unlike vertical tanks, Bitutainer™ Storage Facilities eliminate the need to heat the entire tank volume, allowing you to only heat the product you plan to use. This leads to significant energy savings, easier maintenance, and greater flexibility, especially for variable demand scenarios.
