For prestressed concrete tanks, DYK's proven planning, engineering, and technology has led to a stronger, more attractive prestressed concrete tank and reservoir with greater seismic reliability, less leakage, low maintenance and longer life spans for municipal, industrial, and commercial users. To date, DYK has engineered, built or prestressed more than 2.5 billion gallons of low maintenance prestressed concrete tanks in some of the world's most diverse climates.
Award winning DYK tanks have been commissioned by those interested in long lasting, seismically reliable liquid storage tanks enabling higher quality of life and multi-land use. Playgrounds, tennis courts, cul-de-sacs, native habitats, and gardens have all been installed on top of fully buried flat roof tanks. A prestressed concrete tank can be completely disguised with architectural details for seamless integration into neighborhoods and office parks. DYK designs concrete tanks to optimally fit the landscape and community needs.
A Strand-wrapped circular prestressed concrete tank is your best choice for a long-life liquid storage containment unit with virtually no maintenance. Concrete construction makes for a substantial, sturdy prestressed concrete tank structure that easily contains the internal liquid pressure while comfortably resisting external forces such as backfill, earthquakes, wind, and even the occasional mowing tractor.
A prestressed concrete tank can be routinely used in potable water treatment and distribution systems, wastewater collection and treatment systems, wastewater effluent reuse systems, and storm water management. They are also used in a variety of commercial applications including thermal energy storage, LNG containments, large industrial process tanks and large bulk storage tanks.
