Silo & Tank Painting

Nationwide Silo & Bulk Storage Tank Painting

Silos and tanks are iconic industrial structures, but they are highly susceptible to corrosion from the elements and the chemicals they store. RSP Painting provides specialized high-angle painting services for grain silos, water towers, chemical tanks, and bulk storage vessels.

High-Angle Access Specialists

Painting a 100-foot silo requires more than a ladder.

  • Rigging & Swing Stages: We are experts in rigging suspended scaffolding to access the full circumference of vertical silos safely.

  • Boom Lifts: For shorter tanks, we utilize 135-foot boom lifts to reach the dome and sidewalls efficiently.

  • Safety First: Our crews are trained in fall protection and high-angle rescue, ensuring that even the most difficult-to-reach areas are coated safely.

Coating Systems for Every Content

  • Food Grade: We apply FDA-compliant epoxy liners for silos storing grain, flour, or sugar.

  • Chemical Resistance: For petrochemical tanks, we use Novolac epoxies that resist acid and solvent attacks.

  • Exterior UV Protection: We apply high-gloss Urethanes and Fluoropolymers that retain their color and gloss for over 15 years, even in direct sunlight.

Nationwide Service Strategy

Whether it’s a grain cooperative in the Midwest, a cement plant in Texas, or a water tower in New Jersey, RSP Painting mobilizes nationwide. We bring the equipment, the safety officers, and the expertise to your site.

FAQ: Silo Painting

Q: How do you clean the silo before painting? A: We use high-pressure washing (3,000-5,000 PSI) to remove chalking paint, mold, and dirt. If the rust is severe, we may use vapor blasting or dry abrasive blasting. Q: Can you paint the company logo on the side? A: Yes. We can hand-paint or use large vinyl stencils to apply your corporate logo high up on the silo, turning your storage tank into a billboard.
