This two-tank expansion project in northern California added a pair of matching 1.4 million gallon welded carbon steel storage tanks, significantly enhancing system capacity and redundancy. The mirrored designs include identical spiral staircases for safe and straightforward access, along with sleek aluminum
dome roofs that deliver a clear-span, column-free interior—perfect for preserving water quality without internal obstructions.

Welded steel construction provided critical benefits for this installation, offering the strength needed for large-volume storage while enabling quick field erection to keep the project on schedule. Combined with durable protective coatings, these tanks are built for long-term reliability and low maintenance.

The aluminum dome roofs are a standout feature, with their lightweight geodesic structure providing exceptional resistance to environmental loads like wind and seismic activity prevalent in California. Their inherent corrosion resistance, precise factory fabrication, and rapid bolt-together assembly ensured a watertight seal and faster overall completion, while maintaining a low-profile appearance.

Finished with custom coatings chosen to blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape, the tanks integrate harmoniously with the local environment, delivering vital water storage in an aesthetically sensitive manner.
