STORAGE TANK SERVICE & SUPPORT AT A MEASURABLE VALUE
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
Water storage tanks represent important capital assets and are critical to a community’s operating system. Catastrophic failures of water storage tanks are extremely rare but can occur if required inspections and recommended maintenance have not been performed throughout the tanks’ performance life. When owners select a glass-fused-to-steel bolted storage tank, they select a tank with one of the lowest maintenance requirements of any tank available today. As noted in Glass-Fused-to-Steel bolted storage tanks operations and maintenance manuals, tanks call for annual inspection and maintenance to maintain and achieve the tanks optimum design and service life. Regular inspections and maintenance should be carried out in accordance with the recommendations and instructions carried out by the manufacturer or the contractor who installed the tank.
At a time when end-users are looking to expand the life of their aging water and wastewater infrastructure assets as long as possible, NST has had measurable success expanding the life of storage tanks with maintenance and services that include: tank expansion, interior & exterior reseal, panel replacement, surface cleaning, and inspections.
TANK CONSTRUCTION
NST’s team of project managers and construction personnel have built a solid reputation for integrity and commitment to our clients. We employ and train some of the top tank builders in the nation for the sole purpose of installing and maintaining bolted storage tanks. We will help you select the RIGHT PRODUCT for YOUR UNIQUE APPLICATION and DESIGN requirements.
INSPECTIONS (INTERIOR & EXTERIOR)
CATHODIC PROTECTION
Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks’ passive cathodic protection system consists of sacrificial anodes designed to protect the rebar, mitigate corrosion and provide protection to internal submerged metallic surfaces of the tank. The system is simple and reliable and requires only minimum maintenance.
PANEL REPLACEMENT
Severe storm damage or vandalism can leave your tank in need of repair. NST’s experienced, professional team replaces panels with precision to make your tank as good as new.
EXTERIOR SURFACE CLEANING
NST’s expert service team will give your tank a scheduled facelift. This is a smart way to maintain a beautiful tank. The team uses specialized cleaning equipment and techniques to remove stains, grime, mildew, and graffiti that inevitably build up over time, leaving a bright shiny, like-new tank in its place. The visual difference in the before and after is truly amazing and the value is clear.
SEALANT TOUCH-UPS
NST’s dedicated service team removes existing sealer and replaces it with new polyurethane sealer. They can also install optional HDPE plastic covers over exterior nuts and washers leaving a bright, clean, and refreshed tank. This process is a smart, cost-effective way to extend your tank’s service life.
INSULATION
NST offers tank insulation services to protect your tank and its contents from extreme temperatures. Not only is temperature control beneficial for the materials being stored, but by reducing the risk of damage and extreme heat, you’ll enjoy lower maintenance costs. Insulation comes in a variety of colors to fit your needs and can be installed with no interruption of service.
TANK EXPANSION
The bolted liquid storage tank has the ability to be expanded, which is an economical way to plan for future growth. Size your tank capacity for today’s requirements, but design your foundation for your future capacity. NST’s experienced crews will install our jacking system, unbolt the bottom connections and install the appropriate number of rings to raise the tank up to meet the designed maximum capacity. The only added cost at the initial purchase is the foundation which is designed for your maximum build-out. The additional cost of the heavier bottom rings comes at the time of expansion, providing an economical option for adding capacity to your system.
DOME AND COVER RETROFITS AND REPLACEMENTS
NST’s experienced field crews have had great success retrofitting our domes and covers on any existing tank including multi-terminal petrochemical sites.
