Caldwell - Model FLC -Fluted Column Elevated Storage Tank

• Largest capacity tanks constructed in the industry to-date
• To gain additional storage capacity in the water system (especially for fire protection)
• To gain additional pressure in the water system (especially for power outages)

• The massive tank is geometrically well proportioned with a conical and dished bottom, vertical shell, and dome shaped roof yielding this style of tank to accept large decorative logos to be painted on the tank and column promoting the communities or blending it in with its environment
• The large diameter, all steel single support column is fluted to combine greater structural rigidity with an architecturally pleasing appearance and geometrically well-proportioned structure
• Caldwell`s Fluted Column Tank has interior ladders and piping which protects them against weather and vandalism and easily allows for pipe insulation

• The column can be furnished with a 10` or 12` wide (depending on column diameter and the owner`s needs) overhead door for easy access making it possible for the base area of the column to have multi-purpose uses such as ample storage for equipment, water treatment systems, pumps, freeze protection systems, and valve assemblies, office space, and the easiest access to multiple floors with possible spiral stairs, hoisting cranes, and elevators.
• All-steel construction offers endless specialty paint designs and `neighbor-approved` logos.

• Reference the table 500,000 to 3,000,000
