Hot Dip Galvanized Panel Tanks

Hot Dipped Galvanized Panel Tanks

Tank manufacturers worldwide have used hot-dipped galvanized steel fabrication since the early days of commercial storage tanks. Galvanization is a process designed to prevent corrosion, where steel sheets or components are immersed in a solution to create a protective, rust-resistant coating.

For decades, Tank Builders Philippines has been supplying industries throughout the Philippines with hot-dipped galvanized steel tanks, offering both round and square tank solutions for various applications. We also provide a selection of liner membranes and waterproofing products specifically designed for hot-dipped galvanized panel tanks.

Our expertise includes working with numerous clients across different industry sectors in the Philippines, from Agriculture to Food Processing.

The Manufacturing Process of HDG Storage Tanks

The molten zinc treatment transforms standard steel into exceptionally durable sheeting by reacting with the iron content during the dipping process. This reaction creates an alloy coating that offers superior corrosion resistance and results in a shiny, smooth, and reflective surface.

The solution covers all surfaces, ensuring that both the interior and exterior of the new tank are fully galvanized and protected. The zinc-coated steel is produced in sheet form, which is then used to create individual panels.

These panels are assembled on-site by bolting them together to form the tank. Following assembly, the process includes attaching the roof, connecting plumbing, and installing accessways, safety features, and other essential components.

What can Hot Dipped Galvanized Tanks Hold?

Potable water reservoirs - Ideal for drinking and irrigation.
Fire suppression water reserves.
Chemicals - Oils and fuels.
Dry feedstuffs and bulk dry materials.
Waste storage – For wastewater or other refuse materials.

Lower Your Overall Costs with Galvanized Steel

The costs for coating and maintaining hot-dipped galvanized tanks are significantly lower compared to other steel tank options. Unlike many epoxy-coated or painted tanks, the surfaces of these tanks do not need re-treatment during their service life.

Why Investing in New Tanks Matters

Choosing the right commercial storage tanks is essential. With Tank Builders Philippines, you can rely on our experienced panel tank team to guide you and recommend our hot-dipped galvanized options when suitable.

Galvanized tanks come with additional protective coatings that significantly extend the lifespan of your assets. HDG tanks also provide excellent value and quality without the high cost of stainless steel. Furthermore, hot-dipped galvanization works well with units intended for painting, potentially doubling the lifespan of a standard bare steel tank when combined with paint.

It is important to conduct a thorough cost-benefit analysis to ensure you invest in the most suitable, long-term tank solution that aligns with your operations and business goals.

Durable in Marine Environments

In coastal areas, especially those close to the ocean or saltwater bays and canals, your tanks’ lifespan can be significantly affected. Sea spray carried by the wind and direct contact with saltwater can quickly corrode tank surfaces, particularly if they are not galvanized. It is important to evaluate how far salt spray travels from the coastline to accurately determine the level of saltwater exposure your tanks might encounter.

Climate conditions vary across the Philippines, so it is essential to understand how your tank’s material reacts to different temperatures, UV levels, and other weather elements.

Hot-dipped galvanized steel tanks generally last between 10-12 years in seawater environments, even when external surfaces are exposed to direct contact with water.

Four main factors will influence your tank’s longevity, all of which our HDG tanks are designed to endure for many years, including:
