Prestressed Concrete Tank Applications

Water Storage Tanks

Prestressed concrete tanks (PCTs) are the highest quality and most durable solution in potable water containment. CROM PCTs are constructed to exceed AWWA Standard D110, ACI Report 372 and ACI Code 350. Each is custom designed and built to your site specific needs.

Landmark Tanks

In addition to providing heavy-duty, long-lasting infrastructure for water, wastewater and industrial liquids, many CROM PCT tanks also serve as local landmarks. Our design engineers offer expertise in incorporating unique architectural features, logos or community names.

Mississippi Port Authority at Gulfport

One example is the “Lighthouse Tank,” located 25 feet from the Gulf of Mexico, on a U.S government port. Part of the Hurricane Katrina restoration efforts in the Port of Gulfport, Mississippi, this “Lighthouse” prestressed concrete tank provides 250,000 gallons of water storage for fire suppression. It was designed and constructed to withstand hurricane-force winds and storm surge. The structural, pile-supported floor is designed to prevent uplift and/or overturning during major hurricane events. The unique flat roof is equipped with a working lantern room on top. The flared base of the tank is constructed of reinforced shotcrete, as is the frame around the painted nautical flags which spell out the city’s name, Gulfport.

Water Tanks with Aerators

Installing a natural draft tray aerator helps remove many unwanted contaminants from your water tank. CROM fiberglass aerators are attractive, efficient and constructed with NSF approved materials.

To further protect your tank interior from aggressive contaminants, CROM developed self-washing, flat concrete covers and embedded HDPE liners in free-span concrete domes.
