Tank Applications

Worldwide, communities have discovered unmatched advantages of owning Preload tanks, including no routine maintenance or scheduled downtime! Preload delivers the highest-quality and most cost-effective water storage solutions, leading the wire-wound prestressed concrete tank industry in:

Since 1930, Preload has provided municipalities and private industry with the highest quality, most dependable wastewater and process tanks. Not only is a Preload wire-wound prestressed concrete tank a superior containment structure, it’s a good value because it requires negligible maintenance throughout its long life.

Preload was the first company to introduce the design and construction of prestressed concrete tanks for the storage of liquid natural gas (LNG), in which the stored cryogenic product comes in direct contact with the concrete wall. Our engineers have spearheaded the formation of ACI Committee 376, “Design and Construction of Prestressed Concrete Tanks for the Containment of Refrigerated Liquefied Gases (RLG).” Preload tanks are also proven to be ideal for storage of other liquids at cryogenic temperatures such as ammonia, butane, propane, ethane, ethylene and popylene.

Since 1930, industries have relied on Preload to safely construct high quality liquid storage tanks which exceed the stringent demands of the industrial environment. Preload has constructed wire-wrapped prestressed concrete tanks for some of the largest industries and engineering procurement construction (EPC) clients in the world including applications for process water storage and treatment, fire protection storage, and petroleum and crude storage.

In line with Preload’s tradition of designing and building sustainable and maintenance-free prestressed concrete tanks, Preload thermal energy storage (TES) tanks serve as vital components in highly efficient, long-lasting centralized cooling systems.
