Custom-Made Rectangular Tanks

Custom-Made Rectangular Tanks

Custom-made rectangular tanks are used when the project has geometric constraints or when the tank needs to be integrated within existing structures, such as pits, walls, industrial buildings, or processing plants. Unlike cylindrical tanks, where pressure is distributed radially, rectangular walls are subject to bending, generating different stresses in panels and reinforcements.

This means that the structural design must consider buckling, deflection, and horizontal or vertical reinforcement, depending on the liquid level. Structural profiles—such as U-channels, L-channels, or beams—are incorporated as stiffeners to ensure external stability. Perimeter joints and connections require special attention to guarantee watertightness, as deformations are greater than in cylindrical geometries.

From a construction standpoint, this type of tank is particularly useful in:
  • Water treatment plants
  • Industrial Processes
  • Espacios Reducidos
  • Plantas con Geometrías Prefijadas

The bolted system for rectangular tanks offers significant advantages over welded tanks, such as the possibility of partial disassembly, expansion, or replacement of damaged panels. Furthermore, epoxy or vitreous enamel coatings ensure high chemical resistance even in non-circular shapes.

While this solution requires more structural analysis and sometimes a slightly higher cost per m² due to reinforcements, it offers unparalleled value when the priority is to adapt to the available space or integrate into process lines.
