The bolted tank, built to AWWA D100.
WaterForge designs bolted steel tanks for water and liquid storage: the shell, the bolted panel seams, the roof, and the base. It works to AWWA D100, the standard these tanks are built and inspected to.
A liquid tank carries a hydrostatic load that grows with depth, highest at the base, and the bolted seams have to hold it. WaterForge builds the hydrostatic profile, sizes the shell courses and bolt rows for it, and checks wind and seismic on the full and empty tank.

Set up the tank, run the analysis, and walk away with a full calculation package and drawings ready for review.
