Continent's Largest Stainless Steel Tank

Description: Continent’s Largest Stainless Steel Tank Project

Type: API 650, Stainless Steel Column Supported Cone Roof Design

Material: 304/304L Stainless Steel

Dimensions: 150′ Diameter x 39′ High

Project Details

A historical milestone was crossed in a recent EPC stainless tank project when TIW’s highly skilled field crews masterfully constructed the largest stainless steel tank in North America.

Designed by TIW’s in-house engineering team, for a major industrial client, the tank is a new addition to an existing large nitrogen fertilizer facility. The tank will be used to store urea ammonium nitrate, a granular ingredient used in many fertilizers.

Specs & Stats

Measuring an astounding 150′ Diameter x 39′ High (45.72 metres wide by 11.887 metres high), the column supported cone roof stainless steel tank was made entirely of 304/304L material to precise API 650 specs. Completion required 5,089 direct Boilermaker work-hours. During the entire duration of the project, there were no safety incidents reported – not so much as a single call for first aid.
