Tanks, Reservoirs & Water Storage Infrastructure

Aging infrastructure, changing weather patterns, and growing demand challenge reliable water storage.

GFT helps clients plan, design, and manage tank and reservoir systems that safeguard communities and meet supply. With deep technical expertise and a legacy of innovation, we deliver practical, future-ready solutions, from inspection to turnkey delivery, backed by personal, trusted service.

Smart Water Storage

Integrated solutions to plan, design, inspect, and optimize tanks and reservoirs with resilience and efficiency.

Storage Tank Design and Engineering
We design every tank for optimal performance and longevity, whether prestressed concrete, steel, or composite. Our experts evaluate needs, model performance, and tailor resilient systems so that clients meet regulations, maximize value, and withstand future challenges.
Reservoir Planning and Rehabilitation
From site analysis to full-scale rehab, we help communities restore, expand, or replace reservoirs. Our deep bench of engineers and modelers delivers solutions that balance safety, resiliency, and efficiency, whether earthen dams or concrete basins. We also support combined sewer overflow (CSO) and stormwater storage systems that help municipalities reduce overflows, meet regulatory requirements, and build flood resilience.
Inspection and Asset Management
With over 1,000 tank and reservoir projects completed, we provide expert inspections using advanced tech like drones, climbing robots, and remotely operated vehicles (ROV). Our Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AAMP)-certified specialists evaluate coating systems, water quality, and structural integrity, prolonging asset life and upholding regulatory compliance.

Hydraulic and Water Quality Modeling
We analyze volume turnover, transient pressure, water age, and disinfection byproducts to optimize system health. Clients gain insights to improve water safety, performance, and capital planning, delivered by specialists in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and water chemistry.
Construction and Program Management
From coatings and disinfection to full program oversight, we manage every detail for success. Using platforms like Procore and our own agile processes, we achieve quality, schedule, and budget outcomes that exceed expectations.
