Preload LLC services

Among our many innovations in the technology of prestressed concrete tanks is the process of wire winding, which remains the best technique for circumferential prestressing. Moreover, all of our tanks are designed to meet the rigorous requirements of the AWWA D110 standard for Wire- and Strand-wound, Circular, Prestressed Concrete Water Tanks—Type 111: Precast Concrete with a steel diaphragm.

Earthquakes and other large-scale disasters are a design priority for citizens, state, and local officials—and Preload engineers and designers. Preload has been involved with seismic design for the past 65 years. In fact, it was the first builder of concrete liquid storage tanks to introduce state-of-the-art seismic base cables, specifically designed to improve the performance of such structures under extreme conditions.

The design details and construction methods used by Preload stem from our 80-year history as an industry leader. As a tank builder, we offer a commitment to quality available only from a prestressed concrete tank specialist.

As part of Preload’s commitment that every customer enjoy the best service experience possible, our team of specialists offers a thorough inspection and structural evaluation of any type of concrete tank. This service is accompanied by detailed recommendations for retrofits as well as required rehabilitation to meet current state or national standards.

When community and state regulations change, we have the ability to act quickly and upgrade your tank to meet these standards. To comply with any new regulatory, safety or security requirements, our engineers will present multiple retrofit options to improve or modify your tank.
