What Are Field-Erected Storage Tanks?

As suggested by the name, field-erected storage tanks are storage tanks that are built at the customer site rather than pre-fabricated and shipped to the job site. 

Key Reasons for Field-Erected Tank Application

• Most field erected storage tanks are very large and must be assembled at the job site. They can have a finished capacity of several million gallons, so they are simply too big to prefabricate and ship. 
• Some field erected tanks are smaller, but still require on-site erection if the installation site is in a congested area or the tank needs to be assembled inside a building. 
• They can be manufactured from a variety of materials. Field-erected tanks can be made from various construction materials to suit different storage applications and environments, including stainless steel, carbon steel, and duplex materials.
• They are sustainable. Field-erected tanks made from steel are sustainable since the material is durable and recyclable.
