Overview
125 Years of Dry Bulk and Liquid Storage Solutions
CST’s bolted silo manufacturing dates back to its roots as Columbian Steel Tank Company™, Peabody TecTank and Columbian TecTank®. CST’s TecTank systems are the comprehensive storage solution for any material and are recognized as the industry standard for epoxy coated bolted and factory welded storage solutions. TecTank storage systems can be manufactured, erected and in operation up to three times faster than field welded or concrete applications. Every tank is manufactured in a factory-controlled environment. The result is a precise steel panel production teamed with an optimized coating process.
TecTank systems offer experienced, fast and economical construction with a proven track record of storage success. With over 250,000 epoxy coated tanks in 125 countries performing in thousands of applications, no other company can match CST’s design, manufacturing and construction experience.
TecTanks are custom engineered to our customer’s exact specifications, designed using state-of-the-art CAD and stress modeling tools, and then manufactured in one of our five ISO 9001:2015 Certified manufacturing facilities located in the US and Europe. Our dedicated project management teams ensure a smooth purchasing, manufacturing and delivery process while providing a single point of contact throughout the engineering, fabrication and construction processes. When customers get a TecTank flat panel or chime tank, they get the best epoxy coated bolted storage tank in the industry.

Designs
The performance and quality of CST’s TecTank storage tanks are available in three primary designs. All are manufactured under the strictest of quality process controls in ISO 9001:2015 Certified facilities, designed using the latest engineering tools and all are supported by CST’s seasoned project management teams. CST maintains its own professional engineers and designers in-house who have designed tanks for a wide range of industry specific standards and applications. They are committed to recommending the right storage tank solution for your application.
Flat Panel
CST’s TecTank flat panel design incorporates horizontally-oriented panels, mastic sealer and 4-corner joint designs. The tanks are built top down using construction process using jacks so that construction does not require high scaffolding and the tanks are easily expandable.
Chime Panel
The Chime panel design is constructed with vertical panels and use gaskets. The tanks are generally scaffold-built so they do not require any special jacks to construct. The chime joints add additional stiffness to the tank’s structure.
Factory Welded
CST’s Factory Welded storage tanks are generally one-piece welded construction from 6 ft. (2 m) to 15 ft. (5 m) in diameter and 85 ft. (26 m) in a single piece. Larger heights available with splice. These ready-built tanks minimize costly on-site construction time and can be pre-fitted with customer supplied equipment.
