+ MORE ABOUT INDUSTRIES SERVED +Squibb Tank Company uses reputable sources for acquiring material for all projects. We shop domestic first and are proud to be an American company.
Squibb Tank Company has endured since 1961 with a guiding principal that integrity and excellence are synonymous with a successful business operation. It’s not a slogan of something we do; it is at the core of who we are. No one wants to be involved with a business that is known to lie, cheat, or trick customers; nor would anyone chose to work at such a place. Squibb Tank Company has remained over the years because it is a fair and honest business that meets the storage needs of our customers. We have developed a loyal repeat customer base in addition to a seasoned team of tank building specialists that are ready to tackle the next project.
Squibb Tank Company has been constructing Tanks for the oilfield and other industries since its founding in 1961. As a 3rd generation family-owned company we leverage strength from our decorated heritage of consistently providing high quality tank products to the marketplace.
Squibb Tank Company takes pride in its workmanship. Our process of tank construction includes both an exterior and an interior weld between the tank bottom and first wrap and each wrap seam. Furthermore, all the exterior seam welds utilize the submerged arc welding process (SAW) – Welds produced on a SAW are sound, uniform, ductile, corrosion resistant, and deep penetrating. This dual weld approach to tank construction allows for deeper penetrating welds and greatly reduces the potential for failure.
The construction of a Squibb Tank bottom includes a one and a half inch (nominal) flange. This enables for both an exterior and an interior weld between the tank bottom and first wrap of the tank. This dual weld allows for a deeper penetrating weld, a stronger base, and reduced potential of failure.
Competitors often offer a "T-Joint" weld or a "Flat-Bottom" tank production process. This process is a singular exterior weld around the perimeter of the tank bottom. This practice leaves a ridge on the outside of the tank that invariably traps or cups water and moisture against the tank at its weld. Thus creating the potential for failure and drastically reducing the life of the tank.
The construction of a Squibb tank top includes a process that "cones" the top surface to a pitch of nearly 7-10 degrees. This coned shape sheds both water and snow; effectively keeping the top free of resting water. Many tank failures in the field are due to resting water rusting the tops out of the tanks – greatly reducing the life of the tank. Additionally, the coned shape provides added strength and is more structurally sound when compared to a flat tank top.
