Simplex Engineering offers specialized Ground and Elevated Tank Design services for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Our engineering expertise ensures tanks meet stringent safety, durability, and environmental standards. Whether for water storage, fuel containment, or other uses, we tailor each design to fit your needs.
Comprehensive Design Solutions
We provide complete tank design services, including material selection, structural integrity assessments, and compliance with international standards like those from the American Petroleum Institute (API) and AWWA (American Water Works Association). Our focus includes load-bearing capacities, wind resistance, and seismic performance, ensuring the stability and safety of the structure.
Retrofitting and Alterations
In addition to new designs, we offer retrofitting and alterations to extend the life of existing tanks, ensuring they meet current safety standards. Our team adheres to standards such as API 650, which governs welded steel tanks for oil storage, and AWWA D100, which sets guidelines for welded steel tanks used for water storage.
Advanced Project Services
We offer seismic analysis and structural fire engineering for more advanced projects to safeguard your tanks from earthquakes and fire hazards. Explore our Advanced Structural Analysis and Structural Fire Engineering pages for further details on how we ensure safety and compliance.
