Automation of semi-custom structures and components
-
Immediate interference and fit checking
-
Better visual representation of structures for coordination with customers
Fast and Accurate 2D Drawings
PTS provides 2D fabrication and erection drawings based directly on the 3D model, improving the accuracy of the drawings. These drawings allow us to fabricate an above-ground storage tank at any qualified shop in the United States.
Professional Engineer Stamped Drawings & Calculations
PTS offers a variety of Professional Engineer (PE) stamped services for your above-ground storage tank projects:
-
PE stamped drawings and calculations in all 50 states, plus 4 Canadian provinces.

Production of PE stamped drawings and calculations for tank design, foundation design, and permit requirements.
Fitness for Service Analysis
PTS has performed hundreds of projects for clients who require their above-ground storage tanks to be analyzed for fitness for service. In many cases, this analysis is completed for the purpose of exempting an above-ground storage tank from the hydrotest requirement of API 653 following major repairs.
