Fixed roof
Atmospheric storage with a permanently attached roof
Storage engineering
Safe, serviceable storage begins with the complete operating case.
Industrial storage tanks are developed around liquid or vapour properties, required capacity, filling and withdrawal rates, operating conditions, site loads and containment philosophy. Material, roof arrangement, connections, access and supports are selected as one coordinated system.

Types of storage tanks.
Tank type is selected from product behaviour, emissions control, pressure regime, capacity and the operating environment—not from capacity alone.
