About Savannah Tank and Equipment

Built to Solve Problems. Engineered to Deliver Value.
Industrial projects are complex. Equipment decisions carry long-term consequences for safety, reliability, uptime, and total cost of ownership. Yet too often, customers are forced to choose between quality and affordability — or work with fabricators who simply “build to print” without questioning whether the design is truly optimized for the application.
Savannah Tank exists to change that experience.
We’re a custom manufacturer of tanks, pressure vessels, and heat-transfer equipment, serving customers across industrial, process, energy, and infrastructure markets. But what truly sets us apart is how we work with our customers — not just what we build.
Your Guide Through the Design and Quoting Process
From the first conversation, our role is not simply to quote a vessel — it’s to give you the best possible service and solution to the problem you’re trying to solve.
Our team takes a consultative approach to every project, working with owners, engineers, EPCs, and operators to clarify requirements, identify constraints, and evaluate design alternatives. By asking the right questions early, we help customers make informed engineering decisions that can save significant time and money downstream. We challenge assumptions and optimize vessel designs to achieve the best balance of performance, code compliance, schedule, and cost. The result is equipment that meets your technical requirements without unnecessary cost or compromise.
Expanded Capability: Savannah Tank and Equipment Private Limited (India)
To support growing customer demand and broaden our product offering, Savannah Tank expanded its global footprint through the acquisition of two established fabricators—DD Enterprise and Ami Engineers—in Ahmedabad, India. These operations were combined into a new Savannah Tank facility and further strengthened through major investments in equipment, systems, and experienced management.
This expansion allows us to increase capacity and offer a wider range of products, including
- Heat Exchangers
- Polished Vessels
- Modular Systems
while maintaining the engineering discipline and quality standards that define Savannah Tank. Robust quality processes implemented at the facility enabled the operation to achieve ASME certification in November, 2025, further aligning it with our U.S. standards.
Our India operation functions as an integrated extension of Savannah Tank—enhancing capability and flexibility while preserving the same level of quality, oversight, and customer service across every project.
Quality Without Shortcuts
Optimization never means cutting corners.
Every vessel we fabricate is designed and built to meet applicable codes and customer specifications, and we perform a detailed set of calculations to confirm the engineering behind each component. Once in production, our ASME-certified quality system includes:
- Welding procedures and personnel certified to ASME Section IX
- Rigorous in-process inspections
- Pressure or leak testing prior to confirm mechanical integrity
- Meticulous cleaning and finishing prior to shipment
- Clear documentation and traceability
We believe quality is not something that can be inspected in at the end — it must be embedded into every step of the fabrication process.

Global Capability. One Savannah Tank Experience.
Savannah Tank operates with a globally integrated manufacturing model designed to expand capability without changing the customer experience. Whether your equipment is fabricated in Savannah or Ahmedabad, you work with the same team, the same engineering standards, and the same quality systems from start to finish. Our processes, communication, documentation, and accountability remain consistent—ensuring every project delivers the reliability, performance, and service our customers expect. One team. One process. One Savannah Tank experience.

More Than a Fabricator — A Long-Term Partner
You don’t need another fabricator. You need a partner who understands your application, anticipates challenges, and helps you make smart technical decisions—then delivers world-class equipment on time and on budget. That’s Savannah Tank.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. If you can give us a few basic details about your requirements, we will be happy to work with you so that we understand your needs and can put a proposal together for you. Some of the things we will need to know include:
- Approximate size (dimensions or volume required)
- Internal and external pressure requirements (if any)
- Density of the contents
- Material of construction (stainless steel, carbon steel, etc.)
- Vertical or horizontal orientation
- Means of support (legs, side supports, skirt, saddles, etc.)
- Approximate number and size of nozzles and manways required
- Geographic location of the tank (for wind and seismic calculations)
- Any additional design requirements such as external jackets, internal coils, mixer, ladder, handrails, etc.
After gaining a thorough understanding of your particular design requirements, the team at our pressure vessel company performs a set of detailed calculations that guide us in determining the design and thickness of each structural component on your equipment.
For storage tanks, the calculations assure our designs conform to standards set forth by the American Petroleum Institute (API). For pressure vessels, the calculations comply with Section VIII, Division 1 of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
As your custom pressure tank manufacturer, we can build your tank, pressure vessel, or process equipment in a range of steels, including:
- Carbon steel
- Stainless steel
- Duplex stainless steel
- Monel
- Inconel
We can assist you with cost tradeoffs between different materials and can suggest different options for you to consider, but we cannot advise you on a material’s compatibility or suitability for your particular application.
Yes. Our tank company routinely builds tanks with dimple jackets, half pipe jackets, and conventional jackets to help our customers achieve the operating temperatures they need for their particular processes. Visit our jacketed tanks page to learn more or contact us today to request a quote.
