Storage tank fabrication brings together USA Weld Express’s rolling, welding, and testing under one roof. We build custom steel tanks for oil, water, and process fluids — rolled, welded, and tested for reliable containment.
Steel Storage Tank Fabrication
Storage tanks hold oil, water, process fluids, and other contents, often for years and in demanding conditions, so they must be fabricated to contain reliably and safely. A tank is essentially a rolled shell with welded seams, a bottom, a top, and the fittings and nozzles the application requires. Building one well demands accurate rolling to form true, round shell courses, sound welding to join them leak-tight, and testing to confirm integrity. We bring all of those capabilities together to fabricate storage tanks built to last.
Rolled Shells, Welded Seams
Tank shells start as flat plate rolled into cylindrical courses. Using our plate rolling capability, we form shell courses to the required diameter with a true, even curve, so they stack and fit accurately. The long seams and course-to-course joints are then welded — submerged arc welding is ideal for the long seams, laying down deep, consistent welds efficiently. The result is a shell whose seams are sound and uniform, built from accurately rolled courses that form a true, round tank.
Built to Your Requirements
We fabricate storage tanks to your specific requirements — capacity, dimensions, material, contents, and the fittings and nozzles the tank needs. Working from your specifications, we build a tank sized and configured for the fluid it will hold and the way it will be used, with the connections, manways, and features required. That custom fabrication ensures the tank suits your application and integrates with your facility, rather than forcing a standard tank onto a specific need.
Tested for Reliable Containment
A storage tank’s whole purpose is containment, so we can test the finished tank for integrity and leak-tightness before it goes into service. Combined with the quality of accurately rolled shells and sound welds, testing gives confidence that the tank will hold its contents without leaking. Backed by our certified weld procedures, NDT capability, and quality control, a tank leaves our shop as a verified, reliable containment structure, documented as required for the application.
Complete In-House Fabrication
Tank fabrication draws on much of what we do — plate rolling, submerged arc and other welding, testing, and finishing — all under one roof. That integration means a tank is rolled, welded, tested, and coated as one coordinated job, on a single schedule, with one accountable team. Building tanks in-house alongside our other capabilities avoids the delays and coordination of splitting the work among vendors and keeps quality consistent from plate to finished tank.
