Benefits of Steel Storage Tanks

Benefits of Steel Storage Tanks Blake Group

 The Blake Group was established in Edinburgh in 1938 by James Blake.

Blake Group Storage Tanks

 The Blake Group has a reputation for quality and service in the steel fabrication and engineering industries.  Their Storage Tanks division specialises in the design and manufacture of all types of steel storage tanks for storing liquids such as water, oil and diesel.

Steel Storage Tanks

ď‚– We believe that steel is the best material for storage tanks.

Durability & Longevity Reason 1 ď‚– A steel tank is strong and robust and will require very little maintenance, lasting far longer than a plastic tank.

ď‚– Damage to a steel tank can be easily repaired, whereas a plastic tank is often unusable once damaged.

Environmentally Friendly Reason 2

 Steel is 100% recyclable and often made from salvaged scrap, greatly reducing its environmental footprint.  Steel is hard to damage, reducing the risk of a leak into the surrounding environment.  A damaged plastic tank will fail catastrophically, whereas a steel tank will not, allowing valuable time to prevent any pollution from spreading.

Security Reason 3

 As the cost of fuel rises so does theft. A well designed Blake Group fuel dispensing steel tank is very difficult to break into so will be avoided by thieves.  Most plastic tanks are easier for thieves to steal from.

 Steel tanks are also less likely to be damaged by vandalism.

Reason 4

Aesthetics ď‚– A steel storage tank is not only long-lasting and highly durable but can look great too. ď‚– At the Blake Group we have a wide range of colours and paint finishes so that your steel tank will look fantastic for many years.

Customisation  Steel is ideal for manufacturing into any shape and size.

Reason 5

 Plastic tanks are moulded from set shapes and sizes, therefore not so easy to create for bespoke requirements.  At the Blake Group, we design our bespoke storage tanks to meet the requirements of the client.

 Tanks can be made to the exact size specified and in the shape required, including cylindrical, cuboid, or even a non-standard shape.

Reason 6

Cost ď‚– With steel requiring very little maintenance and having such a long lifespan, the cost over the life of the tank is often actually lower than that of other materials such as plastic.
