WTL - Bolted Steel Tanks
Western Tank and Lining has been installing bolted steel tanks and reservoirs in Western Canada and various other locations around the world for over 25 years. We offer a turnkey supply and install package with sealed drawings and calculation sheets. Our crews install the subgrade plumbing, tank foundations, reservoir, and internal piping as required by the project. Where required, we also provide an engineered thermal calculation sheet and based on this insulate and clad the reservoir to prevent freezing.
Factory coated bolted steel tanks have a number of advantages over concrete or field welded tanks.
- The tanks can be designed for future expansion, or moved to a new location if required.
- Shop applied coatings have a longer life expectancy than field applied coatings.
- Baked on powder coatings have a lower life cycle cost than field applied liquid coatings.
- Modular construction allows the tanks to be shipped to remote locations, by container or air if required.
- The factory manufactured tanks provide a greener solution for the environment.
