Plastic Welding & Poly Tank Fabrication

Durable, Leak-Proof Repairs & Custom Tanks Built to Last in the Desert Southwest

Plastic welding fuses thermoplastics like HDPE, polypropylene, and polyethylene using precise heat and pressure. The result? Seamless, factory-strength bonds with zero adhesives.

Expert Plastic Welding Techniques That Stand the Test of Time

Our certified welders use proven extrusion and hot-gas methods to create welds as strong as the original material, often stronger.

  • Extrusion Welding for Heavy-Duty Tank Fabrication We melt a filler rod directly into beveled sheet edges up to 1" thick, achieving full-penetration seams ideal for large water, chemical, or fertilizer tanks that must withstand years of UV and thermal stress.
  • Hot Air/Hot Gas Welding for Fast Field Repairs Perfect for patching holes, reinforcing corners, or fixing cracked seams on-site. Repairs are completed the same or next day with minimal downtime for your operation.
  • Triple-Pass Welding & Custom Fittings Critical structural areas receive three layers of weld material. We also install flanges, bulkhead fittings, overflow pipes, and structural supports exactly where you need them.
  • Bending, Forming & Complex Shapes From conical fertilizer tanks to rectangular secondary containment basins, we bend and weld sheets into virtually any custom configuration.

Real-World Applications Across Tucson & Southern Arizona

Southern Arizona businesses and ranchers trust us because we understand local challenges: intense UV, alkali soils, hard water, and 110°F summers.
Custom poly tanks and expert plastic welding solve everyday problems for agriculture, industry, construction, and municipalities throughout the Tucson metro area.

Agricultural Water & Fertilizer Storage

500- to 25,000-gallon tanks that won’t rust or contaminate.

Chemical & Plating Tank Repairs

Fast turnaround so production lines stay running.

Secondary Containment Liners & Basins

Leak-proof barriers that meet EPA spill-prevention rules.

Wastewater & Septic Tank Repairs

Extend the life of existing tanks without expensive replacement.

Our Proven 4-Step Plastic Welding Process

Every tank or repair follows the same rigorous process that has earned us 20+ years of repeat customers.

1

Inspection & Surface Preparation

We clean, bevel, and dry-fit every joint. For repairs, we fully assess damage and remove weakened material so the new weld bonds perfectly.

2

Precise Heating & Fusion

Using German-made Leister® and Wegener® equipment, we apply exact temperature and pressure. The base material and welding rod melt together into one solid piece.

3

Controlled Cooling & Quality Testing

Welds cool under constant pressure. We then perform spark testing, dye-penetrant checks, or hydrostatic pressure tests to guarantee zero leaks.

4

Finishing & Delivery/Installation

Excess material is trimmed, fittings are sealed, and your tank is delivered or installed on-site. Tucson-area delivery and crane service are available.

What Tucson Customers Say

"Saved us $28,000 and two weeks of downtime We had a 10,000-gallon cracked fertilizer tank. Tucson Plastics repaired it on-site in two days, good as new and half the cost of replacement."

Mike R.
Marana Farming Co.

"The custom tank fit perfectly under our new wash pad. They built a 3,000-gallon sloped-bottom tank with the exact flange locations we needed. Zero leaks after two seasons."

Sarah L.
Catalina Citrus Plant

"Fast response when we sprung a leak at 2 a.m. Emergency call on a holiday weekend; the tech was here in under two hours and had us back online before morning milking."

Frequently Asked Questions, Plastic Welding & Poly Tanks

Answers from Tucson’s most experienced plastic fabrication shop
When performed correctly on compatible material, welds last the lifetime of the tank; 20–30+ years in the Arizona sun is common.
Extrusion welds regularly test at 95–110% of virgin sheet strength, often stronger than rotomolded walls.
Most repairs are completed the same or next day. Emergency response within hours for critical leaks.
Yes, bulkhead fittings, sight gauges, ladders, and manholes are routine additions.
Yes. We repair every major brand of rotationally molded or fabricated poly tank.
New custom tanks carry a 5-year workmanship warranty; repairs carry 2 years.
Absolutely, we use NSF/ANSI 61 certified HDPE and FDA-compliant welding rods when required.
Minimum ½" for tanks over 2,000 gallons; ¾"–1" for chemical service or extreme exposure.
