The Tank That Doesn't Depend on Its Coating
Tarsco stainless steel bolted tanks need no coating and no cathodic protection. Why the alloy itself is the protection, and what that means for 50+ years of municipal water and wastewater service.
Field-grounded articles on steel storage tanks, covers, coatings, and process equipment — materials selection, corrosion, lifecycle cost, and the practical details that decide a project.
Tarsco stainless steel bolted tanks need no coating and no cathodic protection. Why the alloy itself is the protection, and what that means for 50+ years of municipal water and wastewater service.
A corroding, leaking, or spalling tank forces a decision — and replacement is often the most expensive one. A condition-assessment framework for deciding when to repair, reline, or replace.
AWWA D103 bolted vs. AWWA D100 welded steel tanks — erection speed, coatings, expandability, repair, and lifecycle cost. How to match the construction method to your project.
Aluminum geodesic domes, internal floating covers, and cover accessories for concrete, welded, and bolted tanks — new builds, retrofits, and roof replacements.
Conventional storage measures lead time in months. EnviroBox® shop-fabricated modular steel systems arrive ready to set — turnarounds as fast as seven days. Stackable, manifoldable, and plug-and-play.
"Epoxy only lasts 20 to 30 years" is real — and misread. Why field-recoatable epoxy-coated steel outlasts glass-fused-to-steel in water and wastewater service, and the lifecycle math behind it.
Selecting a potable water tank is, at its core, a corrosion-engineering decision. The technical case for stainless over glass-fused-to-steel and concrete — failure modes, water chemistry, and lifecycle cost.
