PRODUCT/PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND SPECIAL FEATURES:
Project consisted of design, procurement, fabrication and erection of a new welded steel tank with foundation and coatings.  Previously the district had many issues with the faying surfaces in the vapor space of their tanks so they had extreme concern with mitigating future corrosion.  Therefore the bid required a competent contractor which could successfully design a reservoir to prevent the future corrosion with an innovative design.
The district had previously seen the benefits of utilizing our design on steel tank roofs because they replaced a roof with an external press brake system the previous year and have been nothing but satisfied with its results.  If it wasn’t for steel’s unique characteristics and ability to be shaped / formed this roofing system would not be possible.
