Their duties include preparing the installation site, assembling and positioning tanks, connecting piping and fittings, ensuring compliance with safety and environmental regulations, and conducting tests to verify proper installation. Tank installers may also provide maintenance and repair services for existing tanks to ensure continued safe operation.
