Product/Project Description:
These (18) stainless-steel dimple jacketed, truncated roof, elevated sloping floor tanks were built from the top down using MIG and TIG welding processes.  The bottom 12″ of the tanks is a “Skirt” that is filled with concrete to support the elevated sloping floor. The tank is anchored with the latest innovation in seismic anchoring on the market today.
The dimple jackets on these tanks are two sheets of stainless-steel spot welded and welded around the perimeter to seal the two pieces together. The dimple jacket is then inflated to create a void between the two sheets for the chilled glycol to flow through the jacket. The dimple jackets is made from 304ss with a #4 finish that  gives it that shiny, bright look.
These tanks in total hold enough wine to make 149,575 cases of wine or 1,794,900 bottles of wine.
