Fluted Column Tanks
Fluted Column Tanks
A High Seismic Option With Internal Storage
A fluted column tank is a single, steel, fluted pedestal supporting a welded-steel container. Fluted column offer similar design characteristics and internal storage capabilities as composite tanks. The primary distinction of fluted columns is their construction entirely of carbon steel.
Fluted column tanks offer an aesthetic alternative to composite tanks, with a pedestal structure that can be painted to compliment the container. Fluted column tanks also offer more rigidity and stability than composite systems. This difference can be beneficial in areas with greater risk of seismic activity.
