Assmann Tanks
and Environmental Conditions
Assmann tanks are designed to handle the toughest challenges, including the challenges from extreme weather conditions. Explore Assmann tank performance for different types of conditions and build confidence into your next tank purchase.
How does weather impact storage tanks?
Snow and Ice
Extreme cold can cause stress on roof loads. Continuous amounts of heavy snow can cause stress on the roof and walls of storage tanks, which causes them to weaken over time. Assmann Uniform Wall Tanks stand stronger than thin-walled, Tapered Tanks. For those who live through heavy winters, Assmann tanks will stand up stronger than the competition.
Hot Climates
Plastic tanks are prone to UV degradation, especially in hot climates. Because we make our tanks with uniform wall thickness, Assmann tanks are prepared to last longer, despite hot weather conditions. As well, we offer insulation for heat management, ideal for those living in states with hot weather all year round.
Wind
For areas prone to high winds, extra stability is necessary. Assmann tie-downs and restraints help keep tanks upright and in place.
Seismic
Earthquakes can have significant impact on storage tanks. At Assmann, we have a variety of tank accessories to implement extra stability, ensuring that each storage tank can stay securely in place, despite seismic weather conditions.

Heat Tracing & Insulation
Every plastic Assmann storage tank is available with a tank heating system to regulate and maintain specific temperatures. Heat tracing and insulation are available for vertical tanks from 300 to 12,000 gallons capacity, conical bottom tanks from 1,575 to 4,200 gallons and horizontal cylindrical tanks from 500 to 2,500 gallons.
Restraints & Tie-Down Systems
Whether you want to buy tie-downs for your current Assmann tanks, or install them on your next one, we encourage customers who live in seismic or high wind areas to utilize tank restraints. Tie-down systems protect your tanks during transportation and weather events. We offer passive restraint assemblies and tie-down assemblies for our clients to apply to their tank systems.
