Silos & Tanks Manufacturer in Saudi Arabia

SILOS & TANKS

Reliable bulk storage begins with sound engineering. LITCO designs, fabricates, and installs silos and steel storage tanks for industrial, agricultural, and commercial operators throughout Saudi Arabia, producing vessels engineered to maintain their integrity under sustained pressure, fluctuating loads, and the region’s demanding climate. Our manufacturing process follows internationally recognized codes, including ASME Section VIII, API 650, and AWWA D100, giving clients confidence that every tank and silo leaving our facility is built to last and certified to perform.

From municipal water reservoirs to bulk cement silos and chemical process vessels, our engineering team works directly with clients to determine the appropriate material, capacity, and construction method for each application, ensuring the finished vessel meets both operational requirements and site conditions.

Design & Engineering Standards of Our Silos & Steel Water Tanks

The design of silos and steel tanks requires a sensitive adjustment of auxiliary astuteness, material compatibility, and effectiveness.

Materials & Fabrication of Silos & Steel Water Storage Tanks

The durability and performance of silos and stainless steel water storage tanks are heavily influenced by the quality of materials used in their construction. At LITCO’s Silos and Tanks division, we prioritize material selection, carefully choosing amalgams and coatings that ensure durability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with the stored materials. - Carbon Steel: ASTM A36, A572 – suitable for cement, aggregates, and dry bulk storage. - Stainless Steel: SS304 & SS316L – ideal for potable water, food-grade, and pharmaceutical applications (FDA-compliant).

- Duplex Steel (2205/2507): For high-chloride or aggressive chemical environments.

- Coatings & Linings: Epoxy, PVDF, FRP, and food-grade linings for chemical compatibility.

All fabrication of our silos and stainless water tanks is carried out under ISO 9001:2015 certified processes, with welders qualified to ASME IX & AWS D1.1 standards.

Steel Water Storage Tanks

Our carbon steel and coated steel water storage tanks provide a cost-effective, durable option for bulk water storage, firefighting reserves, and utility applications. Each tank is engineered to AWWA D100 standards, with protective linings and coatings applied to extend service life in high-temperature and high-humidity conditions.

Industries We Serve

LITCO’s silo and tank manufacturing capability supports a broad base of industrial and commercial operators across Saudi Arabia, including:

• Construction and infrastructure (cement and aggregate silos)
• Agriculture (grain silos, feed storage tanks)
• Water and utilities (municipal and firefighting water tanks)
• Oil, gas, and petrochemical processing
• Food, beverage, and pharmaceutical manufacturing
• Chemical processing and industrial plants

Each sector brings its own material compatibility, capacity, and regulatory requirements, and our engineering team tailors every project accordingly rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach to tank and silo design.

Our Tank Fabrication Process

Every silo and tank produced by LITCO follows a controlled sequence of engineering, fabrication, and testing stages designed to guarantee structural reliability and long-term performance.

Engineering & Design

Projects begin with structural analysis and 3D modeling using tools such as Tekla Structures and STAAD.Pro, allowing our engineers to calculate wind, seismic, and operational loads before a single plate is cut. This stage determines wall thickness, foundation requirements, and discharge configuration based on the intended application.

Material Selection

Material choice is driven by what the steel storage tanks will store. Carbon steel grades such as ASTM A36 and A572 suit dry bulk storage, while SS304, SS316L, and duplex stainless steels are selected for potable water, food-grade, and chemically aggressive applications. Every material batch is accompanied by mill test certification to confirm compliance with the specified grade.

Fabrication & Welding

Plates are cut, rolled, and welded under ISO 9001:2015-certified processes, with welders qualified to ASME IX and AWS D1.1 standards. This stage produces the shell, roof, and base components before assembly into the finished vessel structure.

Surface Finishing

Depending on the material and application, tanks and silos receive sandblasting and protective coating to SSPC and NACE standards, or specialized food-grade and chemical-resistant linings where hygiene or chemical compatibility is required.

Quality Inspection

Before dispatch, every stainless water tank undergoes non-destructive testing, including ultrasonic testing, radiography, and magnetic particle inspection, as well as hydrostatic or pneumatic pressure testing, in accordance with ASME and API requirements. Third-party inspection is available on request.
