Leading the Way in Prestressed Concrete 
Tanks Since 1930

Public utilities, private industries, and thousands of communities rely on Preload prestressed concrete tanks. Their public officials and industry leaders appreciate that Preload tanks provide a lifetime of performance—and economic benefit. Engineers know that specifying a tank built to ANSI/AWWA D110, Type III standards will result in decades of trouble-free service. Preload's superior design and construction is a discipline we've been perfecting since building the first ever wire-wound, prestressed concrete tank.

It’s no surprise then that Preload prestressed concrete tanks are the ideal storage solution for water, storm water, wastewater treatment, thermal, biofuel, and 
LNG Tanks.

A Heritage of Leadership

Preload remains proud of its history of leadership and innovation.  Beginning in 1930, the people who started this company made a decision that combining quality and value would help to ensure long-term water storage solutions.

Today we are known as the go-to single source provider for all phases of a tank’s design and construction – which allows us to maintain the highest levels of quality control throughout the project.

The pioneers of prestressed concrete tank design currently have more than 1000 years of combined experience serving our clients throughout most of the 50 states, with offices in New York, Texas, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. From administration and sales to engineering to everyone who works in construction, you can count on the expertise, integrity, and attention to detail that marks each and every person on the Preload team.

Preload tanks not only provide high quality and durability, but they’re also the most cost-effective storage solution. In fact, the rising price of steel tanks and the high cost to maintain them have made prestressed concrete tanks more advantageous than ever.

Preload tanks virtually eliminate the expense of maintenance and facility downtime since they do not require routine maintenance and repainting. Moreover, the difference between the initial cost of a Preload tank and a steel tank is often less than the cost to repaint a steel tank just once. As more repaintings occur over time, the case for a Preload tank becomes indisputable.

Preload tanks also offer an immediate return on investment. Up to 70% of a tank's construction cost is spent in the community for labor and materials.

Preload’s wire-wound prestressed concrete tanks are meeting the water storage needs of thousands of communities throughout the United States. These communities have discovered the unmatched advantages of Preload tanks, including never needing routine maintenance or scheduled downtime. This makes Preload tanks not only the highest quality water storage solution, but also the most cost-effective.

Whatever your water storage requirements, Preload has the resources, experience, and speciality to help you meet them.
