“For more than 80 years, Metal Products Company has been the go-to manufacturer for superior above-ground gas tanks.”
A heritage of trust — American tank manufacturing in Georgia since 1941
Licensed Steel Tank Institute (STI/SPFA) fabricator of Fireguard® (UL 2085) and Flameshield® (UL 142)
Active manufacturer membership in the Petroleum Equipment Institute (PEI)
Engineered with Morrison Bros. Co. venting, OPW sumps, and turnkey field installation coordinated via The APEC Group and Geo Petroleum.
A regional delivery company installed a fleet of our above ground tanks to support its operations. The tanks performed flawlessly, and maintenance crews appreciated how easy they were to service—earning praise during safety audits.
“Will the tank resist corrosion?”
Absolutely—our tanks are built with advanced corrosion-resistant coatings to withstand harsh conditions.
“Is it secure and compliant?”
Yes—security features like locking ports help deter tampering, and our tanks are built for compliance with regulations in industrial settings.
“How is maintenance handled?”
Designed for practicality—our inspection ports, sight gauges, and service-friendly layout keep maintenance hassle-free.
“Common questions about above ground tanks.”
Aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) are surface-installed storage systems governed by UL 142 and NFPA 30 standards, offering lower installation and inspection costs without site excavation, while underground tanks (USTs) maximize surface real estate and require corrosion-protected secondary containment.
Yes. Our aboveground tanks feature grit-blasted commercial steel substrates coated with premium industrial epoxy primers and polyurethane topcoats, providing exceptional barrier protection against ultraviolet radiation, heavy rain, marine atmospheres, and harsh industrial chemical exposures.
Yes. We engineer custom aboveground tanks in horizontal or vertical configurations, cylindrical or rectangular geometries, with tailored nozzle orientations, internal bulkheads for multi-fuel compartmentation, and integrated spill containment skids to fit exact facility layouts.
Yes. Our aboveground tank designs incorporate lockable fill ports, emergency pressure-relief vents, anti-siphon valves, security manway covers, and optional tamper-resistant containment basin monitoring ports to safeguard stored fuel and fluids against unauthorized access and environmental leaks.
Routine AST maintenance is simplified through ground-accessible interstitial leak detection ports, visual level sight gauges, flanged inspection manways, and dedicated water drain ports that allow visual EPA SPCC monthly compliance checks without specialized excavation equipment.
Yes. Metal Products Company ships manufactured aboveground tanks to commercial facilities, utility plants, and military installations throughout all 50 states, managing oversize highway route permits and carrier coordination from our Georgia fabrication headquarters.
