Tanks larger than 5000 gallons capacity are structurally engineered to contain the volume and weight of water and offer resistance to external conditions such as wind, seismic and snow loads as mandated by the Uniform Building Code.

Groundwater Storage Tanks should be specified large enough to handle peak demands and still retain a reserve independent of the rate of water flow from the source (i.e. well, spring, filter system, pump, or other water distribution system). Our expert sales staff can assist you with proper tank sizing and accessory requirements.

Corrugated steel has nine (9) times the tensile strength of flat steel and is superior in resistance to compressive loads. Corrugated steel is especially resistant to the buckling and "mushrooming" that can affect flat metal tanks during an earthquake. Corrugated tank seams are overlapped and hand-riveted with solid steel rivets forming a double thickness of steel that further enhances the lateral and vertical strength of the tank.

FIELD ERECTED TANKS

BH Tank's Field Erected Corrugated Tanks are specified for storage requirements between 10,000 to 150,000 gallon capacities. Corrugated tanks can be extremely cost effective when compared to bolted or welded steel tanks of similar capacities. We offer low-profile field erected tanks to meet seismic safety standards without anchoring, saving the expense of a concrete foundation. Installed on a contained gravel foundation, low-profile tanks resist seismic forces without the need for seismic anchors. If anchoring is required or requested, BH Tank can provide engineered tank and foundation design with submittal drawings for building permits.

BH Tank's corrugated field erected tanks are assembled without the need for heavy equipment or flammable materials. Corrugated tank components can be trucked in, tractor carried or even dropped in by helicopter when grading an access road is not possible or desirable.

Corrugated galvanized steel tanks have provided durable water storage solutions for over a century. BH Tanks are designed with a minimum service life of twenty years and come with a one year manufacturer's warranty.
