Essential Requirements for Reliable Frac Sand Storage
Frac sand storage requires a controlled environment to prevent moisture absorption and particulate contamination that can compromise fracture conductivity. Traditional field-welded and slip-form concrete silos introduce significant schedule delays and potential for material inconsistency. The industry's shift toward modular, flat-panel bolted silos is driven by the need for faster commissioning and predictable material flow from day one.
Our flat-panel bolted silos are engineered for this specific duty. The design incorporates a full-wrap, high-performance epoxy powder coating that fully encapsulates all panel edges, manways, and base angles to eliminate corrosion initiation points. A 45° cone hopper is standard, promoting free-flow discharge and reducing hang-ups. Erection is conducted with a ground-level jacking system, a method that enhances worksite safety by removing the need for large cranes and elevated work platforms in confined spaces.
Tarsco’s frac sand storage systems are engineered, manufactured, and erected by a single source, ensuring all components align with specified tolerances and coating standards. Each installation can include integrated conveyors, elevators, dust collection, fill and discharge assemblies, and structural foundations. Backed by EPC experience in complete frac sand plants, these systems enable fast mobilization, coordinated delivery, and reliable operation across varied site conditions.
Why Our Flat-Panel Frac Sand Tanks Stand Out
These silos are engineered for continuous bulk-material operations. The design keeps the sand moving cleanly, the air clearer, and the downtime short. Flat-panel construction means fewer surprises during assembly and more control over the finished structure.
Fast, Safe Erection
We use a ground-level jacking system, eliminating the need for large cranes. Our crews bolt the structure together from the safety of the pad, significantly reducing high-angle work, and let us fit into tight spots where a crane wouldn't have the reach.
Coating Integrity
The epoxy powder coating is a full-wrap, baked-on armor that gets into every seam and covers every edge of the panel. No exposed steel surfaces where corrosion typically initiates.
Smooth, Reliable Flow
The 45° cone at the bottom keeps sand moving the way it should. Prevents bridging and dead zones, no wasted time knocking on the side to get things going. It’s a simple shape that works, proven across multiple sites.
Modular & Relocatable
If you need to move next season, the silo moves with you. The bolted design means you can break it down, truck it to the next pad, and bolt it back together. It's not a permanent fixture, which gives your investment a lot more flexibility down the road.
Integrated Systems
A silo isn't much use without the gear to fill and empty it. We design the entire package, including the dust collector, fill lines, and discharge hardware, to work as one system. That integration is what keeps dust contained and material moving without interruptions.
Lifecycle Value
Between the durable coating that cuts down on maintenance, the structural integrity that prevents downtime, and the ability to relocate, the total cost of owning one of our frac sand silos represents a stronger long-term value. It's an asset, not just an expense.
Proven Frac Sand Projects
Tarsco has delivered frac sand storage tanks for terminals, plant expansions, and pad sites operating under tight schedules and strict safety requirements. Each installation reflects coordinated design, controlled material flow, and field-proven construction methods that reduce downtime during commissioning.
