In our industry, it is imperative that we design and manufacture high-quality tanks that can stand the test of time, as well as stand up to a multitude of intrinsic and extrinsic forces that have potential to cause damage. One of the few metals out there that can withstand these pressures and live to tell the tale is steel. We use steel alloy for a broad range of our products, including steel oil tanks.

Get to Know: Steel

  • Steel is one of the most common metals in the world
  • Steel is quite soft as a metal, but as an alloy, it can take on properties of the other element to become strong, durable and resistant to corrosion
  • Alloy steel is very strong and relatively low cost to produce
  • The most common steel composition is made from iron ore, with added carbon
  • Steel is very easy to recycle
  • There are many types of steel, including carbon steel, stainless steel, corrosion resistant, galvanised, electroplated, alloy and tool steel

As you can tell, when it comes to materials to use when manufacturing our tanks, steel was an obvious choice because of the properties it holds, the cost and the flexibility. Specifically, we use mild steel.

Other benefits include:

  • Steel oil tanks are much more secure than plastic as they are less easily vandalised
  • Easily formed to create bespoke designs and styles
  • It is highly durable and long lasting
  • Stands strong and sturdy against external forces such as the weather, and remains corrosion proof against the stored contents
