Bolted Tank Manufacturing Solutions
Bolted tank manufacturing is the factory production of pre-cut, pre-coated steel panels that are bolted into a storage tank on site. Tarsco manufactures bolted tanks in-house in Goodman, Missouri, from 2,100 to 5,000,000 gallons, in carbon, coated, and stainless steel to ASTM, AWWA, NSF, FDA, NFPA, and FM standards.

Bolted Tank Manufacturing
Tarsco Bolted Tank has manufactured bolted steel storage tanks for over 40 years and is part of the TF Warren Group. Production runs through one facility: laser cutting, panel forming and drilling, multi-stage powder coating, and QA – so panel tolerances, coating thickness, and documentation are controlled by a single team rather than split across vendors.
Our Production Capabilities
Tarsco is a steel tank manufacturer handling the full manufacturing process in-house. Our capabilities include:
- All our tanks undergo stringent quality control from raw material selection to the final product. Our designs adhere to ASTM, AWWA, FDA, NSF, NFPA, and FM guidelines.
- Our manufacturing process includes laser cutting, panel forming, and drilling, among others.
- Varied material options like stainless steel, coated steel, and carbon steel, ranging up to 5 million gallons in capacity.
- The Tarsco manufacturing team collaborates with the engineering team to ensure that project-specific designs comply with industry standards and delivery schedules.
- With Tarsco’s robust engineering integration and scalability, we ensure speed, quality, and consistency in our solutions.
- Modular production systems enable quicker field installation and lower costs in our storage tank solutions.
Our Bolted Tank Manufacturing Services
Tarsco’s in-house manufacturing processes focus on ultraprecise products that comply with regulations and meet timelines consistently.
Design & Engineering
Structural Analysis
Panels are ASTM A36 carbon steel, 3/32 in (12 ga) to 1/2 in thick; every design is checked against snow, wind, and seismic loads for the installation site.
Custom Foundation
Foundation design follows the stored product, local building code, and site conditions; standard 5 × 10 ft panels allow erection in confined spaces without a crane.
Capacity Range
2,100 gallons to 5 million gallons. Panels ship in racks, crates, and pallets; hardware ships in sealed buckets.
Service life
Design service life is up to 40 years. Shells are built at ground level with a jacking system, which keeps crews off elevated work.
Materials & Construction
Precision manufacturing & quality assurance
Our manufacturing uses precision modular methods as per client specifications and industry standards. We follow ASTM, AWWA, NSF, FDA, NFPA, and FM standards.
Certified bolting systems & gasket materials
As a global bolted storage tanks manufacturer, we use di-chromate-coated Grade 8 bolts, nuts, and washers for corrosion resistance. Polycapped head bolts provide additional protection against corrosion. Sealants, like Manus Bond and various gaskets, are available.
Optional protective finishes
Get an interior basecoat thickness of 7 mils DFT, an exterior coat of 2-4 mils DFT, and 2-3 mils DFT polyester finishes. White, tan, forest green, environmental green, cobalt blue, and Caribbean blue are the standard colors.
Coatings & Finishes
We provide factory-finished, thermal fusion-bonded powder coating. The epoxy powder coating is electrostatically applied, with extremely low emissions in an eco-friendly factory-controlled production environment.
