Welded elevated steel tanks can be constructed up to 4.1 million gallons capacity and ground storage tanks up to 34 million gallons. Bolted tanks, which originally were designed for ground storage of dry agricultural products, are typically available in standard, prefabricated shapes and sizes that are determined by the manufacturer instead of the customer. The average maximum capacity of ground storage glass-coated bolted tanks is approximately 2 million gallons with much smaller tank sizes for elevated bolted tanks. How do welded steel elevated tanks and elevated bolted water tanks compare in terms of their aesthetics?
