Precast Concrete Tanks

Over twenty years of experience with precast concrete construction and wastewater treatment plant design have helped make HTI a leader in the design, construction, and installation of several types of precast concrete tanks.

HTI can design, construct, and install several types and sizes of precast concrete tanks and components for wastewater treatment plants, industrial wastewater treatment systems, or facilities for the treatment of agricultural waste.

What is Precast Concrete?

Precast concrete is construction concrete made with a reusable mold, or "form", and cured in a controlled environment. The final precast concrete product is then transported to the construction site and lifted or fitted into place. By contrast, standard "cast in place" concrete is cast and cured on site. All of HTI's water tanks, holding tanks, or wastewater treatment tanks are available with precast concrete manufacturing.

Precast concrete is an old and well-known concrete construction technique. Even the ancient Romans understood the benefits of precast concrete, using the precast method to build their complex network of aqueducts, culverts, and tunnels - much of which is still standing or in use over 2,000 years later! How's that for durability?!? At HTI, we believe in, and stand behind, the durability of our precast concrete tanks and components.

Modern uses for precast concrete include the manufacture of landscaping walls, security walls and urban soundproofing panels. Precast concrete methods are also used to manufacture a wide variety of holding tanks - for fire protection reservoirs, potable water, and wastewater treatment plants and facilities.

Why Precast Concrete Vs. Cast In Place Concrete?

The HTI precast concrete tank design is generally considered by engineers and designers to be superior to cast in place concrete tanks for a number of reasons:

• Precast Concrete is Generally Stronger than Cast in Place Concrete
• Precast Concrete is Generally More Durable than Cast In Place Concrete
• Precast Concrete is More Resistant to Development of Stress Fractures
• Precast Concrete Construction Methods Take Less Time than Cast In Place Methods

HTI has NEVER had a structural problem with one of its wastewater treatment plants or components, using precast concrete tanks and construction methods.

We want to stress that the design and the sealant used in our precast concrete tanks is environmentally friendly. Environmental regulatory agencies allow the HTI precast concrete tanks to be built for potable water storage, as well as for biosolids storage. The sealant on all of our precast concrete tanks carries up to a 20 year warranty by the sealant manufacturer.

Primarily, HTI uses precast concrete manufacturing processes to produce precast concrete tanks and components for WWTP, or Wastewater Treatment Plants. Among the types of precast tanks designed and manufactured by HTI include the following:

• Precast Concrete Equalization Tanks
• Precast Concrete Tanks for Biosolids Storage
• Precast Concrete Tanks for Potable Water
• Precast Concrete Tanks for CSO (Combined Sewer Overflow)
• WWTP Aeration Tanks from Precast Concrete
• Industrial Holding Tanks from Precast Concrete
• Precast Concrete Tanks Membrane Bioreactor Treatment Systems
• Sequencing Batch Reactor Tanks from Precast Concrete

HTI highly recommends the use of precast concrete construction methods, but we are able to perform either precast concrete OR cast in place methods with a high level of quality and expertise. Whether you need precast concrete tanks or components, or are looking for an entire wastewater treatment plant package, contact HTI today and let the experts help get your project up and running.
