Bolted
Steel Tanks

Western Tank & 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.

Advantages

  • 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 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.

Coatings

Our factory-applied coatings offer an incredibly durable and impermeable surface for your reservoir. The steel components undergo a meticulous process, including blasting to create a near-white surface, followed by a heat-fusion coating procedure. This results in a resilient bond that eliminates the need for cathodic protection on factory-coated reservoirs. Field-coated tanks offer cathodic protection as a fail-safe measure against potential hidden delamination.

We understand that construction mishaps can happen, which is why each of our tanks includes a field-applied 2-part epoxy touch-up kit. This kit ensures that any surface imperfections can be easily restored, maintaining a like-new condition. Our coatings are NSF 61 certified for potable water applications, backed by a manufacturer's warranty, and designed to have a long working life with no expected recoating for potable water storage within a pH range of 6 to 8.

Uses & Applications

  • Water Storage (e.g., Drinking, Fire Protection, Municipal, Wastewater)

  • Agricultural Use (e.g., Liquid Manure, Feed Storage)

  • Dry Bulk Applications (e.g., Lime, Coal, Salt)

Factory Trained Erection Crews

WTL employs crews that have installed most models of tanks from chime tanks erected with scaffolding to flat panel tanks erected using jacking methods. Our crews are fully trained in both construction and safe work practices, and are cleared medically to work in Oil Field environments including H2S, confined space entry, fall arrest, and first aid qualifications.
 

Our firm is bonded, and holds the following safety certifications:
 

  • C.O.R. Certified in Alberta

  • C.O.R. Certified in BC

  • PICS Registered Supplier

  • ISNetworld Registered Supplier

PAX Mixer Systems

The PAX Water Mixer is the industry's most powerful and efficient active, submersible mixing system for storage tanks. Able to circulate 10 million gallons with the same energy footprint as three 100-watt light bulbs, the mixer is a cost-effective tool for preventing residual loss, disinfection byproducts, nitrification and ice formation. View Site

Bolted steel tanks provide a more environmentally friendly solution to storage problems with all hazardous processes performed in environmentally controlled factories.

 

On site emissions of coating materials and welding by products of welded steel tanks are eliminated by the bolted tank design with all environmentally harmful process completed in a controlled factory. Also large excavations and ground disturbance typical of concrete tanks is avoided in above ground construction as well as the reduction of the use of large amounts of aggregate and non-reusable forming materials.
