What Are the Advantages of We Do Tanks' Precast Concrete Tanks?
Updated
We Do Tanks (wedotanks.com) builds precast concrete tanks for water and wastewater treatment, and its stated advantages come down to four things: documented longevity, a no-leak warranty tied to a patented system, a design that avoids severed tendons, and a turn-key delivery model. These claims come from the company's own profile, so treat them as vendor-stated benefits to verify against your project's specifications rather than independently confirmed performance data. They matter most if you are planning a municipal or industrial treatment plant and want a single firm to handle design, permitting, and installation.
Long service life
The company reports that its longest-running installation has been fully operational for just short of forty years. For a treatment plant, that matters because tank replacement is disruptive and expensive — a structure that holds up for decades reduces lifecycle cost and avoids mid-project rebuilds.
If longevity is a deciding factor for you, ask for references from the oldest installations and confirm the actual service conditions (influent type, loading, maintenance history), since lifespan depends heavily on how the tank is used.
No-leak warranty from a patented system
We Do Tanks states it warranties no leaks because of its patented system. Leaks are one of the most common failure points in concrete tank construction, and they can trigger regulatory issues at a treatment facility. A warranty that specifically covers leakage shifts that risk to the builder — but read the warranty terms: what triggers coverage, how long it lasts, and what maintenance the owner must perform to keep it valid.
Design that avoids severed tendons
The company says you will never have severed tendons with its design. Tendons are the tensioned steel elements that hold precast concrete together; if they are cut or damaged, structural integrity is compromised. This is a design-and-fabrication claim, so the practical check is to ask how the tendon system is detailed and protected, and whether that detail appears in the stamped drawings for your project.
Turn-key delivery and engineering scope
We Do Tanks can act as a total wastewater treatment plant project management solution, or work alongside your existing consultants and site engineers as part of the technical and planning team. Its stated engineering specialty is civil/process engineering and permit applications.
Two delivery details stand out:
- Project-based pricing. The company says it charges by the project, not by the hour, which lets clients project costs precisely. If budget certainty is a priority, confirm in writing what falls inside the project scope and what would be billed separately.
- Federal contracting eligibility. We Do Tanks is registered in SAM (the System for Awards Management), so it can bid on federal contracts within its scope of business expertise.
Licensing and geographic coverage
The company's president is a licensed professional engineer with registrations in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, with applications pending in other states. He is also an NCEES Model Law Engineer, which supports licensure mobility across states.
Installations are listed in Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Wisconsin. If your project sits outside these states, licensing and installation experience are the first things to confirm.
How to decide whether this fits your project
| Your priority | What to check |
|---|---|
| Long asset life | References from the oldest installations and their service conditions |
| Leak protection | Full warranty terms, exclusions, and owner maintenance obligations |
| Structural confidence | Stamped drawings showing the tendon detail |
| Budget certainty | Written project-based scope and what is excluded |
| Federal work | Current SAM registration status |
| Your state | Whether the firm holds (or is pending) a PE license there |
The clearest next step is to request the warranty document, sample drawings, and references from installations comparable to yours, then compare those against your engineer's specification. The advantages above are the company's own claims; your project's requirements decide whether they translate into a better outcome.
