Columbian TecTank (CTT) developed chimed bolted steel tanks and has designed, manufactured and installed them in thousands of applications throughout the world over the past 100 years. This robust design is unrivaled in the market and no other bolted tank company can claim the years of proven successful field performance. With CTT bolted steel tanks, own the leading steel storage tank in the industry.
Our bolted steel tanks are designed with panels that are easily bolted together after they are transported to the job site. The tank is erected without any heavy machinery and in practically any kind of weather. The unique design affords the design flexibility of replacing specific panels when needed to add manholes, nozzles and other fixtures. The bolted steel tank’s design also allows for expansion among the panels to accommodate future capacity needs.
CTT has built more than 150,000 tanks that are installed in more than 125 countries in the world. No other tank company can claim that level of experience and proven performance.
Our tanks and silos are coated in an advanced, environmentally-controlled process at our ISO-certified plants. This ensures the highest quality application, best adhesion and longest coating life available today. Our proprietary coating process occurs in the warehouse instead of in the field to alleviate any health risks due to the on-site procedure. The process starts with surface preparation, cleaning, electrostatic powder or liquid coating and completes after a final thermal curing at baking temperatures up to 400 degrees.
Our bolted steel tanks are made using Trico Bond EP™, our proprietary epoxy powder coating for interior surfaces. Trico Bond provides the best corrosion resistance and immersion performance, as well as outstanding flow, impact and abrasion resistant properties. For more than 50 years and in thousands of different applications, this coating has proven its ability to withstand varying degrees of liquids and dry bulk materials year after year with minimal maintenance effort and cost. Our coating system meets FDA and USDA standards for dry bulk applications and conforms to NSF 61 for potable water. Our exterior coating system includes Trico-Bond EP™ Primer for corrosions resistance with a Performance Urethane topcoat for long lasting color retention.
