Vertical stainless steel tanks engineered for pressure and structural loads
What is a Eurocode 3 tank?
Eurocode 3 tanks are vertical cylindrical storage tanks designed according to the Eurocode 3 standard for steel structures. This European standard emphasises structural strength and reliability under pressure, making these tanks ideal for storing liquids in situations involving elevated internal pressure, wind forces, or seismic conditions.
Unlike EN 14015 and API 650 tanks, which are mainly intended for atmospheric storage, Eurocode 3 tanks are developed for use in environments with higher mechanical loads or structural demands. At Gpi Tanks XL, we manufacture these tanks from high quality stainless steel, ensuring excellent corrosion resistance, long service life, and efficient performance.
Custom stainless steel Eurocode 3 tanks for demanding conditions
Whether you store aggressive chemicals, fuels, renewable feedstocks, or process water, our Eurocode 3 tanks combine outstanding structural strength with complete design freedom. You can choose from domed, conical or self-supporting roofs, integrated heating coils, pressure control systems and advanced insulation options, all tailored to your specific process requirements.
Every tank is engineered in house and produced with modular fabrication techniques, allowing us to ship a fully assembled tank from our facility or construct it directly on site. this end to end approach gives you maximum project flexibility, predictable lead times, and seamless integration from initial design to final commissioning.
Industries served with Eurocode 3 tanks
Eurocode 3 stainless steel tanks are used in industries where structural strength, pressure resistance, and compliance with strict engineering standards are critical. Key sectors include chemicals, petrochemicals, tank terminals, bioenergy, water treatment, and industrial process applications. These tanks are specifically built to handle elevated internal pressure, wind loads, and seismic conditions, making them ideal for environments with increased mechanical stress or structural complexity. They offer a reliable solution for storing a wide range of liquids such as corrosive chemicals, fuels, thermal energy carriers, process water, and bio-based media. While Eurocode 3 tanks are designed with structural safety and durability in mind, applications requiring hygienic or food-grade standards may call for specialized tank designs that meet specific industry regulations.
