Glass Fused-to-Steel Bolted WATER tanks

UIG TANKS glass-lined above-ground water tanks are created by fusing two materials to achieve the best properties of both, the strength and flexibility of steel and the corrosion resistance of glass.

The glass lining forms a hard, chemically inert layer that permanently protects the steel surface from rust, corrosion, undercutting, abrasion, and stains. In addition, UIG’s proprietary EVERSTORE® coatings, are specifically engineered around your application from pH 0 to pH 14 providing even more corrosion resistance.


The Glass Fused-to-Steel construction of these industrial bolted tanks is exceptional for the storage of potable water, wastewater, petroleum, chemicals and dry bulk in such applications as data center cooling tanks and reservoirs, power generation stations, standpipes, frac processing, sludge tanks, trickling filters, and high temp fermentation plants.

Glass lined tanks are are used in many different applications such as wastewater treatment plants, biogas plants, and petroleum tank farms where steel corrosion would be an issue. Glass Fused-to-Steel Tanks are quick to manufacture and fast to erect in the field with our experienced crew or by utilizing a supervisor and local labor.

Pair with our UIG EVERDOME® Aluminum Dome Cover for virtually maintenance-free storage. 


MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE 
EVERSTORE® GLASS FUSED-TO-STEEL aboveground storage TANKS

UIG EVERSTORE® Glass Fused-to-Steel Bolted Tanks are an exceptional choice for use as water storage tanks, wastewater tanks, leachate storage, and chemical storage. These tanks not only conform to the AWWA D103 standards but FAR EXCEED the standards by providing a stronger, safer product.

EVERSTORE® BOLTED GLASS TANK PANELS & COATINGS

UIG Hot Rolled Titanium Rich Carbon Steel is specifically manufactured for the enameling process. This allows for exceptional physical performance and eliminates any fish-scale defect.

Furthermore, the superfine glass structure of the enameled layer provides the steel plates with excellent flexibility and durability.

UIG Glass Fused-to-Steel panels are fully encapsulated, both sides of panel and all four sides of the sheet edges.

UIG Glass Fused-to-Steel panels are manufactured per AWWA D103-09std.


BENEFITS OF UIG EVERSTORE® GLASS FUSED-TO-STEEL BOLTED TANKS

  • Unparalleled UIG Tank Steel: We pride ourselves on crafting our plates from a special high-quality “Hot Rolled Titanium Rich Carbon Steel.” This exclusive Titanium Rich Steel (TRS™) was developed specifically for glass-coating applications, offering unmatched tensile and yield strength. It’s the cornerstone of our tanks, delivering maximum corrosion protection and superior adhesion for the Glass Fused-to-Steel.
  • Tailored UIG Tank Frits: Our in-house manufacturing ensures that we create custom blends of frits/glass, precisely designed for your unique application. Fused to our proprietary TRS™ Sheets, these coatings provide exceptional corrosion resistance across a wide pH range from 0 to 14.
  • Precision UIG Tank Enameling: The application of glass coatings is an art, and we’ve mastered it with our Wet Spraying technique. Our equipment expertly covers all sheet surfaces, including all (4) exposed sheet edges, ensuring uniformity and durability.
  • Cosmetic Ti02 Tank Finish: While Titanium Dioxide (Ti02) is a common pigment for white paint, don’t confuse it with high Titanium content Steel. We use Ti02 for its cosmetic finish, achieving a pristine white color without compromising structural integrity.
  • Innovative UIG Tank Plate Edges: We pioneered rounded edges for TRS plates, providing total glass encapsulation for maximum corrosion protection. Our panels are coated are fully encapsulated. Your tank’s longevity is our priority.
  • Precise UIG Tank Openings: All openings are precision factory-cut before the enameling process, safeguarding the glass from cracks and shielding against steel erosion.
  • Manufactured to Standard: Designed and fabricated per AWWA, API, NSF 61, NFPA, IBC, EPA, DIN, ISO, ASTM, OSHA, UBC Seismic, and other national and international standards.
  • Design and Engineering: UIG engineers are licensed in all 50 states. Every UIG-EVERSTORE® tank includes PE stamped submittals and PE stamped tank foundation design.
