Services
Tank Design
Our CAD technicians create customized tank designs tailored to client specifications, including appurtenances placement and structural calculations. Designs allow for future expansion through reinforced foundations and modular planning. Each project receives schematic drawings for client approval before fabrication begins.
Fabrication
We fabricate stainless steel, aluminum, and carbon steel components using CNC equipment, ensuring precision in punching, rolling, and forming. Our 65,000 sq ft facility handles projects from small components to large-scale industrial systems. All fabrication meets ANSI, API, and ASTM standards for quality assurance.
Installation
Nationwide crews assemble bolted stainless steel tanks efficiently, minimizing on-site labor and staging requirements. Pre-fabricated components eliminate field welding needs. Installation includes geodesic domes, roofs, and appurtenances like level indicators and agitation systems for complete storage solutions.
Engineering Services
We provide comprehensive engineering calculations, shop drawings, and P.E. stamping services for regulatory compliance. Projects incorporate ANSI, AWWA, and API standards with customized sheet thickness and bolt spacing. Documentation includes schematics, structural parameters, and expansion planning.
Appurtenances Supply
Our tanks include manways, roof vents, ladders, platforms, and stainless steel/aluminum domes up to 200 feet in diameter. Custom options like heaters, piping systems, and agitation units enhance functionality. Replacement parts and retrofitting services ensure long-term system viability.
