Each of the tanks was to be 5 meters in diameter by 25 meters long, manufactured using 16 millimeter thick material at a weight of approximately 45 tonnes. The requirement was to manufacture 25 large tanks with a timeframe of only one year. It was awarded to them at the last minute and was not their primary area of expertise.
