About this asset

This horizontal cylindrical storage tank is a Revit family component designed for industrial mechanical and site utility modelling. This storage vessel features a horizontal cylindrical body with rounded ends, elevated on four vertical cylindrical support legs. The form is simplified, prioritising functional representation for coordination and MEP modelling workflows. The geometry is clean and lightweight, suitable for placement in plant rooms, external service yards, or industrial facility layouts. It lacks complex surface detailing, focusing instead on the primary volume and base footprint required for spatial planning and clearance analysis in BIM projects. The component provides a clear, scalable representation of a standard industrial tank for fluid storage.

The download is a 61 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this family is best utilised as a generic model for site planning or mechanical system coordination. Load the component into your project file and place it on a level or work plane. Given its simple geometry, it is ideal for early-stage massing or as a placeholder for detailed equipment schedules. Use the built-in parameters to align the tank with site pipework or service connections, ensuring appropriate spacing for maintenance access and structural support foundations.

This asset is essential for industrial facility design, utility infrastructure projects, and mechanical room layouts. It serves as a critical spatial placeholder during the design development phase for architects and MEP engineers. Professionals typically search for this content when coordinating service yards, plant room equipment, or fuel storage solutions. It pairs effectively with other mechanical components, piping systems, and site-work elements, helping teams verify equipment footprints and maintain necessary clearance distances within complex industrial or commercial building environments.
