Underground Tanks

Mass Tank offers top-quality underground storage tanks (USTs) designed to safely contain various products (including potable water, waste water, fire suppression water, chemicals, or fuels) over the long term.

Read on to learn about the types of underground tanks available from Mass Tank, their applications, common materials used, and more.

Types of Underground Tanks We Offer

As a leading underground storage tank manufacturer, Mass Tank offers the following types of underground tanks.

Underground Water Storage Tanks

A UST can include any tank buried at least 10% underground. For water storage, large tanks or containers can be placed beneath the ground for various purposes. They offer a space-saving solution for adequately storing water for commercial and industrial applications, with capacities ranging from 500 gallons up to 50,000 gallons.

Underground Oil Water Separator Tanks

These tanks capture oily wastewater in maintenance and industrial areas. They are designed to remove high volumes of mechanically emulsified and free oil from the wastewater.

Wastewater Tanks

A wastewater tank is a large container used to safely treat and store wastewater from various sources, including industrial processes, grey water, and other applications. As the wastewater fills the tank, solids settle at the bottom and create a sludge that must be removed. The primary goal of this tank is to treat the water before it gets released back into the environment or sent to a sewage treatment plant.

Fire Suppression Tanks

Fire suppression tanks store water for sprinkler system use when a municipal water supply is not enough to suppress a fire. They are also used as water reserves for firefighting in remote areas, such as national parks and wildlife areas.

Industrial Potable Water Tanks

Potable underground water storage is an affordable and effective means for municipalities to store drinking water for their communities. These tanks provide an optimal solution for areas with limited aboveground land availability. The tanks are easy to maintain and have built-in resilience against damage from external forces such as vandalism and extreme weather.

ASME Pressure Vessels

Mass Tank has extensive knowledge and expertise in fabricating custom pressure vessels that adhere to the stringent standards of Sections VIII Div. 1 and Sec I of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Our top-quality ASME pressure vessels play a vital role in various industrial applications, with the capability to safely contain reactive agents (at pressures exceeding 15 psi).

Our expert team can develop process-specific designs for ASME pressure vessels of varying sizes, meeting the demands of a broad range of industrial requirements. Each container is designed to efficiently handle exothermic and endothermic reactions in chemical, glycol, hydro, and vacuum applications.

Materials Used To Manufacture Underground Tanks

Carbon steel underground storage tanks. Our high-quality steel underground storage tanks are engineered to provide reliable, low-maintenance storage for a variety of applications.
Fiberglass underground storage tanks. Underground fiberglass tanks have an advantage over steel tanks due to their inherent interior and exterior corrosion-resistant properties. These tanks offer an optimal long-term solution for certain underground storage needs.
Stainless steel underground storage tanks. Stainless steel underground storage tanks provide unsurpassed durability and safety for potable water applications, protecting against harsh external conditions while meeting all necessary security and cleanliness requirements.

Industry Applications

Municipal water processing. Mass Tank offers water processing and storage tanks in various shapes, sizes, capacities, and heights to meet the needs of different municipal applications.
Liquid food processing tanks. Our liquid food processing tanks can handle products of varying viscosities through every stage of production, from initial mixing to ingredient incorporation to storage.
Agricultural processing. Our irrigation and agriculture tank solutions provide farmers and ranchers with robust solutions for storing chemicals, water, and feed.
Cannabis processing. Underground steel tanks are used for storing wastewater that is a by-product of the cannabis processing industry.
Fire Suppresion. These tanks are used for storing water on-site for large facilities so if there is a fire, they are able to quickly get water to the sprinkler system without draining the local city/town’s water supply.

Why Us?

In addition to our custom underground tank fabrication capabilities, Mass Tank offers the following value-added services to give clients a full-suite solution.

Inspection Services

A tank inspection is essential for maintaining the safety and integrity of storage vessels in water, oil, gas, chemical, and other volatile industries. Our experienced team regularly conducts thorough tank inspections to verify compliance with industry standards and to prevent potential hazards. The process evaluates the tank’s structure, components, and materials to identify any existing defects, corrosion, or leaks.

Field Services

Our field services play an integral role in preserving the safety, longevity, and integrity of our tanks used in the water industry, oil and gas, petrochemical, water treatment, and other industrial applications. Proper tank maintenance encompasses a combination of cleaning, inspections, repairs, and protective measures so that the tanks continue functioning safely and efficiently.

Proactive field maintenance is crucial to:

Asset Protection
Cost-Effective Operation
Environmental Preservation
Regulatory Compliance
Safety
