frequently asked questions

We specialize exclusively in large welded steel tanks used for water storage, agricultural operations, and industrial containment. This includes tanks for potable and non-potable water and fertilizer. We do not service plastic, fiberglass, or small residential tanks, and we do not provide plumbing services.

Premier Tank Inc serves clients statewide across California. We are based in Norwalk, CA, and work with water districts, contractors, municipalities, and industrial operators throughout the state. All work is performed on location.

Premier Tank Inc was established in 1994. With more than 30 years of experience, we bring extensive knowledge of welded tank construction, repair, and rehabilitation to every project.

Yes. We are fully licensed and insured to operate in California and comply with all state and industry requirements for structural welding, tank construction, and on-site fabrication.

Yes, we handle urgent repair situations based on availability and site readiness. If your tank requires immediate attention due to leaks or structural concerns, call us at (562) 650-3531 to discuss your needs.

Tank repair addresses specific issues like leaks, seam cracks, or component failure. It’s typically focused on one or two critical areas.

Tank rehabilitation is a more comprehensive process that may include surface preparation, full structural inspection, coating replacement, retrofitting, and safety upgrades. Rehabilitation is used when a tank is aging but still structurally sound.

Yes. We regularly perform seismic retrofits and structural upgrades to bring tanks into compliance with California safety regulations. This includes reinforcing roof structures, installing seismic bracing, upgrading access ladders, and adding OSHA-compliant safety systems.

We use coatings selected to match each tank’s material, usage, and location. Coating systems are typically high-performance epoxies or polyurethanes approved for potable or non-potable use. All surfaces are properly prepared before application to ensure long-term protection.

Yes. We perform safe and code-compliant demolition of welded tanks that are no longer in service. This includes site evaluation, structural removal, material disposal, and coordination with your facility’s safety team.

Yes. We specialize in on-site welded tank fabrication. This includes new tanks for water, fertilizer, or custom industrial needs. Building tanks directly on-site allows for greater flexibility, faster turnaround, and lower transportation costs.

Yes. We perform on-site evaluations to assess tank condition, identify structural issues, and develop a plan for repair, rehabilitation, or upgrades. These assessments support long-term maintenance planning and ensure compliance with safety standards.

Yes. We regularly collaborate with engineering firms, consultants, and inspectors. Whether you have inspection notes, structural drawings, or code requirements, we can align our scope to match.

In some cases, limited repairs can be done with the tank partially or temporarily in service. For most structural or coating work, tanks need to be offline for safety and access reasons. We coordinate with clients to minimize disruption and downtime.

Project duration depends on the scope, size, and condition of the tank.

Small repairs: 1–5 days

Upgrades or component retrofits: 1–2 weeks

Full rehabilitation: 2–4 weeks or more

We provide a project schedule after reviewing the tank condition and client needs.

Yes. Our teams are trained in confined space entry, fall protection, and on-site welding safety protocols. Safety is a core part of every project we complete, and we maintain compliance with California OSHA standards.

No. All fabrication, repair, and rehabilitation work is performed by our own trained and certified crews. This ensures consistency, accountability, and high standards on every project.

We stand behind our workmanship and provide project-specific warranties based on the type of service performed. Details are included in your estimate or service agreement.
