Total Cost of Ownership Tool

STI/SPFA’s Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) web-based tool provides real-world data on fabrication, inspection, maintenance, touch-up, and repair costs for steel tanks versus other materials. Users can also input their own data, allowing “apples-to-apples” comparisons that reflect the real costs for differing materials over their entire life cycles.


The TCO cost analysis tool assists water system managers to analyze the total cost of ownership of three common types of flat-bottom, ground supported water storage tanks (with roofs) constructed in accordance with AWWA standards: Welded Steel Tanks: AWWA D100; Bolted Steel Tanks: AWWA D103; and Concrete Tanks: AWWA D110 or D115.


Access to the TCO tool is complimentary for all users, but you must registerThen you can input and store data related to your tank or tank project, and/or study the default data presented in the program. There is no limit to the number of tank projects you can store here. Your data is retained for one year and is secure, only available to you.
