For more than thirty years, Westec has been building stainless wine tanks on-site in sizes that are too large or too heavy to be trucked, typically 60,000 to 250,000 gallons, and we can build smaller tanks on-site when needed. We will calculate the weight of the tank based on the gallonage you are considering, and will help develop the scope of work for permits.

The tank above is nearly 160,000 gallons and 30' x' 30' dimensionally with double-wall insulation. Westec built it with an A-frame structure, then placed it using a crane to lift it a short distance over existing tanks.

Safety is Number One

Experienced winemakers include liability planning with very large, site-built tank farms and they value Westec's engineering experience, properly trained crews, first-rate equipment and safety programs for field fabrications.

Working with the winemaker, Westec calculates the A-frame rating required based on the gallonage. The beams are sized for the specific planned load. Our engineered A-frames are "wet-stamped" and Westec provides this information as part of the permit process and for liability coverage. Safety is Number One with Westec.

We Can Build That Size

Give us a call with your gallonage and site requirements and find out more about our fast field fabrication. Westec's trained, experienced crews set up an A-frame and a construction trailer on a flat building site at your winery. The tank top is created first, then then next section is placed below it so that the new tank is open at the bottom until the final stage so it is not considered a confined space.

On-Site Tank Repairs

Westec repairs tanks by any manufacturer, in the field or in the winery. Give us a call to find out what we can do for you.
