Last year the ConVault technical committee initiated a ranking system for the precasting plants. The ranking system has been integrated with the ConVault Quality Assurance Program to maintain the top quality product expected from the leader of the aboveground storage tanks industry. The ranking system requires the plants to be inspected and ranked in various production fields such as steel tank inspection, wrapping, reinforcing bar cage fabrication, concrete pouring, finishing, testing, and quality control record keeping and documentation. Plants are graded in each category and are ranked in accordance with their performance in each field. The top three ranking plants will be distinguished and awarded with trophies at the ConVault Annual Convention. This process has created a friendly competition between the precasting plants to get the top ranking position in the network and proudly display the trophy at their own plants.

One of the areas that the plants are ranked is the training and certification of their employees who are engaged in production of ConVault tanks. Under the ConVault certification process, the production and quality control personnel are required to pass the ConVault certification test with an 85% or higher grade. The personnel who successfully complete the ConVault training and certification program are awarded certificates of achievement. The certificates are personally signed and sealed by the president of ConVault, Inc. The majority of the precasting plants have certified their ConVault production personnel. ConVault is proud of its affiliation with these groups of professionals who are dedicated in the production of top quality product. Above and below are photos received from precasting plants showing their employees during the certificate award ceremonies.
