Quality Awards

The Steel Tank Institute, Division of STI/SPFA began the practice of recognizing outstanding quality in its members' fabrication facilities in 1996 when The Steel Tank Institute acknowledged members in its Shop Fabricated Atmospheric Tank Section. Members of this Section fabricate steel atmospheric tanks up to 50,000 gallons for underground or aboveground storage of petroleum and hazardous liquids. Members are subject to periodic, unannounced inspections by a team of STI/SPFA Inspection Consultants, in addition to other inspections performed by Underwriters Laboratories and Southwest Research Institute, depending upon the type of tanks fabricated. The STI/SPFA Inspection Consultants conduct a rigorous investigation of the manufacturing function, to ensure that companies are following all of the requirements of the STI/SPFA Standards for fabrication of tanks such as the: Underground Storage Tanks sti-P3® Cathodically Protected Steel UST ACT-100® Composite Steel UST ACT-100U® Thick Urethane Composite Steel UST Permatank® Steel and Fiberglass Double Wall Jacketed UST AquaSweep Gravity Oil/Water Separator Aboveground Storage Tanks F921® Double Wall Steel AST Flameshield® Double Wall Steel Fire Tested AST Fireguard® Protected AST Generator Base Tanks Quality Award Winners are chosen based upon above-average ratings for these random inspections and fabricators are required to produce a minimum number of fabricated united to quality as a Quality Award recipient.
