Choosing the Right Tank Manufacturer for Your Project

Storage tanks and pressure vessels are typically used to hold crucial or hazardous materials, such as fuels, ethanol, chemicals, gasses, and more, so they’re held to extremely high standards for quality and safety. And when it comes to sourcing new storage tanks, picking the right tank manufacturer will impact the outcome of that project significantly. Here are a few key things to always keep in mind when you’re looking for the ideal tank manufacturer to ensure that your next project is a success. 

Ensure They Prioritize Safety and Industry Compliance

No matter whether the fabrication of your tank takes place onsite or in the tank manufacturer’s facility, safety should always be their number one priority. Make sure that they fully understand and are familiar with building tanks to whatever standards are applicable to your project–ASME, API, UL, for example–and if they’ll be building it onsite for you, that they have OSHA records and a good reputation for safety on the job. 

Choose Someone With the Right Fabrication Capabilities

Building a new storage tank is often a massive undertaking, so it’s important to partner with a tank manufacturer that can actually accommodate your project. Tank size and diameter, materials, industry standards, proper fabrication and welding equipment, the ability to ship or install the finished product within your timeline–a good tank manufacturing partner should be able to handle all of these details and everything in between. 

Find a Tank Manufacturer with a Good Reputation in the Industry

Reputation can often be a very good identifier when you’re choosing between a few different storage tank manufacturing partners. Checking customer reviews and case studies will give you a better idea of the sort of customer service you can expect to receive from a potential partner. The length of time that they’ve been in business is also a good indicator of a company’s expertise and financial stability–the longer they’ve been around, the more experience they’ll have.
