How Long Should a Bolted Steel Tank Last and What Kind of Maintenance Does it Need?
FORGE bolted-steel tanks are long-lasting and are designed to help you save money on tank maintenance and repair.
With proper maintenance, FORGE bolted steel tanks can last up to 40 years, twice as long as many on the market today. This is because we use quality engineering and the proper coatings to ensure high performance throughout the tank’s lifespan.
FORGE tanks are designed to offer a cost-effective avenue for addressing issues. For example, every tank is made of bolted, replaceable panels. If something goes wrong with one or two panels, we can swap them out with ease.
What kind of maintenance do bolted steel tanks require?
We recommend having regular inspections done to identify potential problems such as:
- Rust and corrosion
- Uneven settlement
- Foundation problems
- Worn seals
- Loosened bolts
- Interior contamination
When a technician detects problems early, they may be remedied quickly and inexpensively.
FORGE provides both internal and external bolted steel tank inspections. We use remote-operated vehicles (ROVs) for internal inspections and visual and human inspections for external inspections. Our team has decades of experience, allowing us to spot problems others might miss. In addition, we use metallurgical testing to ensure the tank has continued to maintain its structural integrity.
