To Create a Superior Product, You Need a Highly Skilled Engineering Team

Even in 1932, we understood the responsibility of serving the Engineering industry, reflecting in a Caldwell Tanks catalogue that year:

“Anyone can buy machinery and materials to make tanks…but to turn out a superior product requires a thoroughly qualified and comprehensive engineering staff.”

Nearly a century later, this continues to be our driving force.

Fabrication

Caldwell’s ability to fabricate tanks and pressure vessels is unmatched in the industry. Whether providing complex steel shapes or exacting tolerances, Caldwell strives to match customer specifications.

We use dedicated carbon steel as well as stainless steel production lines, physically separating them to ensure the highest degree of quality.

A sampling of Caldwell facilities and equipment includes:

Over 200,000 sq. ft. of production area
Hydraulic presses for steel fabrication of complex double-curved plates
Brake presses
NC plasma tables with articulating bevel head
Stainless steel plate seamer
Multiple plate and angle rolls
CNC lathe and threading machine
Centrifugal blast machines – for both plate and pipe
Manual blast booth for spot cleaning
Multiple paint booths
Assorted shears and saws
Stainless steel “bath” for chemical cleaning

Equipped with the very latest in engineering and construction technology, our resources include everything from state-of-the-art fabrication to welding and painting equipment. Caldwell’s leading-edge facilities offer the most modern, efficient, and cost-effective facilities in the country. This enables us to manufacture a broad range of products.

Construction

Caldwell Tanks constructs projects on-site with results designed to exceed your expectations — and our team’s extraordinary skills, experience, and commitment make it all possible. We provide each crew with every essential piece of equipment, set to construct the leading tanks, pressure vessels, and appurtenant foundations that the marketplace demands.

A sampling of equipment used in on-site construction:

Self-Contained Construction Units with power generators, welding power sources, and compressed air
Mobile picker cranes
Multiple styles of automatic welding machines
Derrick equipment allowing for the lifting of large field sub-assemblies, specifically designed for on-site tank construction

Project Management

Caldwell’s ongoing mission is to complete every project with the highest degree of quality, on time and on budget. Our project managers see to it that we carry out this mission successfully and safely. Every Caldwell team member works together to fulfill projects in compliance with OSHA and EPA regulations, all while delivering on customer expectations.

We are unique in our ability to truly serve as a turnkey contractor. While tanks, vessels, and their supporting foundations are our core business, Caldwell can also seamlessly take on additional scope to meet your needs. Customers rely on Caldwell for the following items (included regularly in our scope of work): site work and site piping, mechanical contracting, as well as electrical and controls. These help us ensure that we achieve a quality project, safely and cost-effectively; a result that will serve communities and customers for decades to come!

Civil

Caldwell’s broad capabilities include:

Turnkey design and construction of tank and vessel foundation systems
Reinforced concrete pedestal engineering and construction for elevated water storage tanks
Vertical structures for special storage systems

EPC Single Point Responsibility

Here at Caldwell, we pride ourselves on offering meaningful solutions that serve our customers’ needs. From small to medium as well as tank-centric projects, we are very familiar with working directly for EPC contractors. We are also fully capable of providing full EPC services; so when an end-user wants a single point of responsibility wrap directly from Caldwell, our team is set to deliver.

Our extensive engineering, procurement, and directly employed Field-Erection crews are trained to leverage Caldwell’s Project Management expertise — allowing us to completely execute your project to meet the highest goals. We can apply any combination of our resources to match your scope and successfully complete the work you need.
