Hot Dip Galvanized Panel Tanks
Hot-Dipped Galvanized Panel Tanks
Tank manufacturers worldwide have long employed hot-dipped galvanized steel fabrication since the inception of commercial storage tanks. Galvanization is a process aimed at preventing corrosion, wherein steel sheets or components are immersed in a solution to create a protective, anti-rust coating.
For decades, Panel Tanks Vegas by American Tanks has been supplying American industries with hot-dipped galvanized steel tanks, offering round and square tank solutions tailored to various applications. Additionally, we provide a range of liner membranes and waterproofing products specifically designed for hot-dipped galvanized panel tanks.
Our expertise also extends to collaborating with numerous America clients across diverse industry sectors, spanning from Agriculture to Food Processing.

How HDG Storage Tanks Are Made
The molten zinc treatment converts standard steel into exceptionally robust sheeting by reacting with the iron content during the dipping process. This reaction results in an alloy coating that provides excellent surface defense against corrosion and yields a shiny, sleek, and reflective surface.
The solution coats all surfaces, ensuring both the interior and exterior of the new tank are entirely galvanized and safeguarded. The zinc-coated end product is fabricated in sheet form, from which individual panels are produced.
These panels are then assembled on-site by bolting them together to form the tank. Subsequently, the process involves affixing the roof, connecting plumbing, and installing accessways, safety features, and other necessary components.

Keep Lifecycle Costs Down with HDG Steel
The expenses associated with coating and maintaining hot-dipped galvanized tanks are notably lower compared to other steel tank options. Unlike many epoxy-coated or painted tanks, the surfaces of these tanks do not require re-treatment throughout their service life.

The Importance of New Tank Investments
Making the correct choice when selecting new commercial storage tanks is crucial. With Panel Tanks Vegas by American Tanks, you can trust that our experienced panel tank team will guide you in the right direction and recommend our hot-dipped galvanized options when appropriate.
Galvanized tanks are fortified with additional protective coatings, significantly prolonging the lifespan of your asset collection. HDG tanks also offer exceptional service value and quality without the high price tag of stainless steel. Moreover, hot-dipped galvanization complements units intended for painting. Combining these two coating types could potentially double the original lifespan of a standard bare steel tank.
Considering long-term solutions through a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis is essential for securing the most suitable lifelong tank investment aligned with your operations and business objectives.
Long-lasting in Sea Water Environments
In coastal areas, particularly those near the ocean or saltwater bays and canals, the lifespan of your tanks can be significantly impacted. Sea spray carried by the wind and direct contact with saltwater can swiftly corrode tank surfaces, especially those that are not galvanized. It’s crucial to assess the extent to which salt spray travels from the coastline to accurately gauge the level of saltwater exposure your tanks are likely to face.
Climate conditions differ between America so it’s essential to understand how your tank’s material responds to various temperatures, UV levels, and other weather elements.
Hot-dipped galvanized steel tanks typically last between 10-12 years in seawater environments, including instances where external surfaces come into direct contact with water.
Four primary factors will ultimately affect your tank’s longevity, all of which our HDG tanks are designed to withstand for many years, including:
- Atmospheric salinity.
- Atmospheric sulfur dioxide.
- Temperature.
- Relative humidity.
