Every type of storage tank TC offers has its application. The shop-welded tanks shown are custom fabricated in the shop and shipped to the field as one piece construction. When they arrive, they can be picked with a crane and immediately set into place or staged for installation at a later date.

When shop-welded tanks are utilized, field installation timeframes can be greatly reduced. The only negative in utilizing shop welded tanks are the limitations of capacity. Typically, these units are limited to a maximum capacity of ~8500 cubic feet of storage, as a one piece unit.

• On the left, in the background, nice corroded blue color — Horizontal glass panel tank.
• On the right in the background, vertical flat panel — A VFP tank is a poorly conceived storage tank design. There is no market for this product except uninformed and unsuspecting buyers.
• Up front — Bolted RTP tank by Tank Connection under construction. The premier product of choice available in the industry.

We build the largest hopper bottom tanks in North America. Bolted RTP tank construction is limited to under 50’ diameter. In a field-weld design, we typically limit hopper tank construction under 65’ diameter range. Proprietary hybrid hopper applications utilizing a composite hopper design can be built even larger, but the economics and installed cost rarely justify this approach compared to an optimum number of tanks in a battery arrangement.
