Pat Tank

What Pat Tank does

PAT Tank, Inc. is a privately held, vertically integrated steel fabricator and contractor specializing in the construction, repair, and retrofit of aboveground storage tanks. Founded in 1945 and headquartered in Port Arthur, Texas, the company serves enterprise clients in the petroleum (primary), chemical, power generation, and agricultural industries across the Gulf Coast region of South East Texas and Louisiana. Its offering is organized around four service modules: New Construction (API 650 design, fabrication, and erection of carbon or stainless steel tanks 6 to 300 feet in diameter with unlimited shell heights, including floating roof, cone roof, and dome roof configurations); Repair & Retrofit (API 653-compliant bottom repair, secondary containment, liner installation, cathodic protection, tank jacking/leveling, and demolition); Tank Seals & AIFR Installation/Repair (primary/secondary seals, wiper seals, foam log seals, and floating roof components); and PAT Fabrication, a wholly-owned division that provides custom industrial steel fabrication to external petrochemical firms, tank contractors, and independent fab shops.

Underlying the business is a 30,000+ square foot fabrication facility with an 8-acre laydown yard and a company-owned fleet of mobile cranes, generators, welders, plasma cutters, plate rolls, angle rolls, break presses, and transport vehicles, allowing PAT Tank to execute projects with minimal third-party dependence. The company holds API 650, API 653, and CWI certifications and maintains pre-qualification memberships across Safety Council, ISNetworld, ILTA, ACIT, ABC, PICS, PEC, and NCMS, which function as gating credentials for refinery and petrochemical work. Marketing is relationship-led (company website, industry credentials, direct field sales) with no active digital advertising or channel partners.

Revenue mechanics are project-based, one-time contracts for new tank construction and repair/retrofit engagements, with the PAT Fabrication division providing an additional transactional revenue stream from custom steel work sold to third parties. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company reports 11-50 employees, is described as "privately owned and professionally managed," and has no disclosed external investors, parent company, or capital structure information.
