Tug & Barge Cleaning

Tug & Barge Cleaning

Galpa Construction has tank cleaning teams who can clean your vessel tank efficiently. Our staff follows rigorously the tank cleaning procedures to keep your vessel safe and to reduce the impact on the environment this operation has. 

To achieve this goal, our teams butterworth the tank with water. Butterworthing is a tank cleaning technique that does not require the workers to enter the tank; they just use a device that produces a high-pressure jet to clean the tank walls while our staff stays outside. Thanks to butterworthing, your vessel tank cleaning will not require any chemical agents. The high-pressure jet of water is more than enough to do the job.

Every member of our staff has the experience and the expertise to offer you the best and most effective tank cleaning service. Our company can service your vessel in any of our shipyards across the Texas coast, in Galveston, Orange or Houston.
