What Tampa Tank, Inc. - Florida Structural Steel does

Tampa Tank, Inc. – Florida Structural Steel (TTI-FSS) is a U.S.-based industrial steel fabrication and construction company founded in 1953 and headquartered in Gibsonton, Florida. It operates as an operating subsidiary of Precision Build Companies, LLC, a holding company formed in May 2020 through the combination of TTI-FSS and Precision Tank, Inc.; the platform also includes Florida Structural Steel and the April 2025 acquisition of Tampa Steel Erecting Company (TSEC). The company designs, fabricates, and erects field-erected welded steel storage tanks and piping (API 620/650/653/1104), shop-built pressure vessels (ASME Section VIII with U/R/S stamps, UL 142), and Design/Build modular process systems, pipe racks, and skids. It also produces complex structural steel for bridges, cruise terminals, and large barge-shipped modules through Florida Structural Steel and TSEC. Its workforce is sized at 251–500 employees across the Gibsonton headquarters, the Adamo fabrication facility, and the Port Tampa Bay deep-water berth that enables global shipping of oversized fabrications.

The company monetizes primarily through project-based, custom EPC contracts and modular fabrication engagements priced on specifications, materials (carbon, alloy, and stainless steel), scope, and geography, complemented by recurring inspection/maintenance work under API 653. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales, supported by a dedicated Director of International Sales and regional sales contacts, with project wins sourced via RFPs, direct procurement, and relationship-based development. Customer segments span oil & gas, chemicals, pulp & paper, mining, transportation/infrastructure, energy, water/wastewater, and air-pollution control, with named marquee customers including Bechtel (NASA Artemis ML2), Kinder Morgan, Tampa Electric, Liwathon BOS, United Farmers Cooperative, Martin Asphalt, and the Florida DOT. Competitive positioning rests on multi-standard certifications, capital-intensive facilities with deep-water shipping capability, and 70+ years of operating history executing complex, qualification-driven industrial projects across the Americas and West Africa.
