Advantages of HDG Water Tanks
Hot-Dipped Galvanized Panel Tanks
Hot-Dipped Galvanized (HDG) Tanks, Stainless Steel Panel Tanks, and Steel Panel Water Tanks offer numerous benefits that make them superior choices for a wide range of storage needs.
Below are the key advantages:
- Low Cost-Value Ratio: HDG tanks, stainless steel panel tanks, and steel panel water tanks offer superior corrosion protection and overall longevity at a budget-friendly price.
- 100% Drainage Capabilities: These tanks ensure no pooling is left behind after emptying, maintaining hygiene and efficiency.
- Moderate Corrosion Resistance: HDG water tanks and steel panel tanks are resistant to corrosion, extending their service life.
- Highly Customizable: They can be tailored to meet specific storage requirements, making them versatile.
- Food-Grade Film: Ideal for bulk dry food storage and food processing, ensuring safety and compliance.
- Rainwater Harvesting-Approved: These tanks are suitable for collecting and storing rainwater.
- 3.5mm Standard Thickness: This standard provides robust and durable construction.
- Can Replace Steel and Concrete Options: HDG pressed steel tanks, stainless steel panel water tanks, and other steel panel tanks are sufficient alternatives to traditional materials.
- Securely Stores Chemicals Under Pressure: They are capable of handling various chemicals safely.
What Makes HDG Tanks so Impressive?
Molten zinc treatment transforms ordinary steel into extra-strong sheeting by reacting with the iron content when dipped. This reaction forms an alloy coating that offers superb surface protection against corrosion and produces a glossy, smooth, and reflective finish.
All surfaces are coated with the solution leaving both the inside and outside of the new tank completely galvanized and protected. The zinc-layered final product is manufactured in sheet form from which individual panels are produced.
Panels are then bolted together on site to assemble the tank, followed by attaching the roof, connecting plumbing, and installing accessways, safety features, and other components.

Keep Lifecycle Costs Down with HDG Steel
Coating and maintenance costs for hot-dipped galvanized tanks are comparably lower than other steel tank formats. Surfaces won’t need re-treating during their service life unlike many epoxy-coated or painted tanks.
The Importance of New HDG Tank Investments
Ensuring you make the right choice when selecting new commercial storage tanks is vital. With American Tanks, you can rest assured our experienced panel tank team will point you in the right purchasing direction and recommend our hot-dipped galvanized options where suitable.
Hot-Dipped Galvanized (HDG) Tanks are reinforced with extra-protective coatings, significantly extending your asset collection’s lifespan. HDG tanks also offer tremendous service value and quality without the hefty price tag of stainless steel. Hot-dipped galvanization also works well with units you intend to have painted as well. Combining the two coating types could double the original lifespan of a standard bare steel tank.
Stainless Steel Panel Tanks provide a sleek and durable option that combines aesthetic appeal with long-lasting performance.
The Importance of New HDG Tank Investments
Seaside and other coastal locations astronomically affect your tanks’ lifespan where outdoor units are positioned within close proximity to the ocean or saltwater bays or canals. Seaspray carried through the air and direct contact with salt water rapidly corrodes tank surfaces, especially those that are non-galvanized. It’s critical to know how far salt spray travels from the coastline to determine the true level of salt water exposure your tanks are likely to endure.
Climate conditions vary between the U.S., so it’s important to understand how your tank’s material reacts with different temperatures, UV indexes, and other weather elements.
Hot-Dipped Galvanized Steel Tanks last up to 10-12 years in seawater environments, including applications where external surfaces directly contact water. Four primary factors will ultimately affect your tank’s longevity, all of which our HDG tanks are designed to withstand for many years, including:
- Atmospheric salinity.
- Atmospheric sulfur dioxide.
- Temperature.
- Relative humidity.
By choosing HDG water tanks, stainless steel panel tanks, and steel panel water tanks, you invest in long-lasting, durable, and versatile storage solutions that meet your needs and exceed your expectations.
