TecTank FP is a jackable flat panel bolted tank that was designed based on designs from Peabody TecTank, Columbian Steel Tank, and Columbian TecTank. The new addition extends CST’s dry bulk, heavy industrial product portfolio in order to meet the needs of its growing global customer base. To-date, 21 tanks have been ordered to be installed within the U.S. over the next several months.  

The new design of TecTank FP includes an optimized bolt pattern, increased steel thickness, reduced hardware, and fewer penetration points. The new jackable flat panel bolted design will be available in short lead time pre-configured models and fully customizable designs.

“Through lean development processes, CST reinvigorated its product development and innovation processes with the new TecTank FP design, and is now delivering a more substantial value to its customers and to the company as a whole,” said Tim Carpenter, president and CEO at CST Industries, Inc.   

“CST is committed to meeting the needs of our customers,” said Jay Anzelmo, director of dry bulk sales at CST Industries. “This addition to our product portfolio ensures that our customers have a complete line of engineered storage systems available to truly provide our customers with what they have told us they need…options. Because of the shear diversity of industries we serve, the types of materials stored and the capacity required, and each installed in a completely unique location - the market dictates supplier flexibility. With the addition of CST’s TecTank FP, CST becomes the only tank supplier in the world to provide both a flat-panel, jack-built tank, and a chime-panel (CP) scaffold built tank, capable of safely and economically being installed on every diverse site condition imaginable. We are no longer limited to one or two design styles or erection methods like other tank suppliers. Now we are truly able to fulfill the commitments asked for by our customers.”  

CST is the pioneer in jacking tanks, a process that began in the 1940s for jack building grain bins and silos in the agriculture market. The jacking system utilized on the new TecTank FP is the first ever jacking system designed by licensed professional engineers and Proof Load Tested by a third party lab. Tanks are jack-built from the ground up, allowing for faster construction. Today, CST has over 350,000 tanks installed worldwide, serving thousands of markets with an EMR rate reported well below the industry standard.  

“CST is constantly evolving and developing new ways to further engrain our value proposition as the complete storage tank solution provider for customers. This extension elevates our capability to respond to our customers’ desire for one-stop shopping,” says Jon Dilley, VP of global marketing at CST.
