High Capacity Storage Bitutainer™
Capacity-Optimised Bitumen Storage
The High Capacity Storage Bitutainer™ is a modular, high-volume container designed for the long-term storage of hot bitumen. Built for flexibility and durability, it offers storage up to 65,000 litres, making it an ideal solution for terminal sites, major infrastructure projects, and remote operations needing reliable bulk bitumen storage.
- 65,000L capacity for high-volume storage
- Engineered for bulk bitumen storage
- Easily transported and relocated for quick installation
- Modular design for scalable site setups
Facing limited storage capacity for bulk bitumen?
The High Capacity Storage Bitutainer™ delivers up to 65,000 litres of insulated, secure bitumen storage per unit, minimising the need for costly, large-scale permanent tanks. Its modular design allows you to scale storage based on project size, providing unmatched flexibility for both short-term and long-term operations.
Looking to implement a bulk storage and distribution quickly and at low cost?
Using a Bitutainer™ Storage Facility design, the High Capacity Bitutainer™ can be linked together in a tank farm orientation to implement fast and cost efficient bitumen storage, allowing your business to react quickly to new demands.
Need a tank that fits your existing site infrastructure?
Built to standard 40ft container dimensions, the High Capacity Storage Bitutainer™ integrates seamlessly into most existing transport, lifting, and storage systems, reducing the need for costly infrastructure modifications.
Suffering with limited space at storage sites?
Each High Capacity Storage Bitutainer™ is engineered to maximise capacity in a compact footprint, making them ideal for space-constrained sites. Stacking is available as an option and thanks to the tanks self-bunded nature, there is also no requirement for costly bund walls or civil works, reducing the footprint further compared to standard vertical tank operations.
Why the High Capacity
Storage Bitutainer™
is market leading

Space saving stacking
High-Temperature Paint System
Safe and Efficient Access Design
Integrated Filling and Discharge Solutions
Safe and Efficient Access Design
Features a 600mm manway with a galvanised cover and removable safety grille, providing secure entry for inspections and maintenance. A double manway option is also available for enhanced operational flexibility.
Robust Construction for Harsh Environments
Built with a weather-resistant carbon steel internal tank and a protective outer wall, the unit is engineered to withstand demanding storage site conditions while preserving product quality.
Integrated Filling and Discharge Solutions
Equipped with 3” or 4” discharge nozzles, low-level fill nozzles with internal anti-syphon risers, and dedicated drain connections to optimise loading and unloading operations.
High-Temperature Paint System for Surface Protection
A specialised high-temperature paint finish (black as standard) protects the tank against thermal exposure and extends its service life.
Space saving stacking
With a small modification and supplementary spacer frame, the High Capacity Bitutainer can be stacked during operation to save on site space.
Example Projects
Supporting Bitumen Storage for Local Infrastructure Projects in Durban
In South Africa’s port city of Durban, TEC’s High Capacity Storage Bitutainers™ were configured into a modular storage facility to support a nearby infrastructure development. The tanks were selected for their ability to store large volumes of bitumen with minimal site preparation, allowing the project team to avoid the complexity of civil bunding or vertical tank installation. Their durable design and temperature stability provided a dependable storage solution in a high-demand environment, ensuring efficient product access throughout the project lifecycle.

What is the difference between the High Capacity and High Performance Storage Bitutainers™?
The main difference is thermal performance: the High Performance model features enhanced insulation for improved heat retention at the sacrifice of the additional capacity found in the High Capacity Bitutainer™. If maximum thermal efficiency is prioritised, storage capacity may be slightly reduced to accommodate thicker insulation. This makes the High Performance Bitutainer™ ideal for operations where maintaining bitumen temperature over extended periods, or keeping energy consumption low are critical.
What is the storage capacity of the High Capacity Storage Bitutainer™?
The High Capacity Storage Bitutainer™ offers flexible storage capacities between 65,000 litres, depending on your project needs. This versatile design is the same trusted solution used in TEC’s Bitutainer™ Storage Facility, proving its reliability for long-term bulk bitumen storage.
Does the High Capacity Storage Bitutainer™ meet industry standards for storage safety?
Yes, the High Capacity Storage Bitutainer™ is engineered to comply with global transport and storage regulations. It meets ISO standards and incorporates safety-focused design features like double-walled containment and integrated overpressure protection, offering peace of mind for both temporary and permanent storage applications.
Design features can be adapted to meet specific country storage standards too, contact us to find out more about how TEC’s range of Storage Bitutainers could be altered to fit your specific project needs.
Does the High Capacity Storage Bitutainer™ require bund walls or extensive site works?
No bund walls or complex civil works are needed. The tank’s double-walled design provides inbuilt secondary containment, allowing for rapid site implementation with reduced costs and enhanced flexibility compared to traditional fixed storage tanks.
What heating options are available for the High Capacity Storage Bitutainer™?
The High Capacity Storage Bitutainer™ offers three heating options: direct fire burners, thermal oil and electric heating, ensuring bitumen remains at the required temperature for efficient unloading.
What ancillary equipment is available for the High Capacity Storage Bitutainer™?
TEC offers a range of specialised ancillary equipment to support storage operations, including valve systems, level gauges, and temperature monitoring solutions. Explore our equipment range to see how we can tailor the setup to your site needs.
