Why Choose a Bolted Steel Tank over a Welded Steel Tank?

  1. Factory Applied Coatings: Thermosetting Epoxy Coatings are applied at the factory, in a controlled setting and are not affected by environmental elements.

  2. Coatings are applied over a clean, near white blast surface and oven baked for an even finish.

  3. Factory coatings eliminate the need for weather delays and other environmental concerns.

  4. Coatings applied in the elements, on welded steel tanks, can peel, crack or otherwise fail due to temperature and
     humidity changes, leading to delays in the completion of the project.

  5. Flash oxidation can occur in field welded tank coatings if they are applied incorrectly or too quickly.

  6. All parts of a bolted steel tank are created in a standard fashion which leads to consistency from one panel to the other,
    and one tank to the other.

  7. Standardized panels allow for accurate erection time scheduling Standardizing bolted tank parts make pricing more accurate.

  8. Bolted steel tanks can be dismantled and moved to another location if needed. Additional panels may be added to increase capacity.

  9.  Field Installation is generally much less than welded tanks (50%-75% less), reducing labor costs.

  10. Bolted Steel Tanks are erected from the ground up, using a jacking system. This keeps safety risks to a minimum. Since there is no welding involved, there is no risk of fire either.
