Phillips Tank & Structure plans $2.76 million Kentucky facility

Phillips Tank & Structure (PTS), a nationwide tank construction contractor, has announced plans to build a $2.76 million fabrication shop that will create 20 full-time jobs.

The company is acquiring six acres in Columbia, Ky., where it will build a 15,000-sq.-ft. fabrication shop, a 5,000-sq.-ft. tool house/garage, and 5,000 sq. ft. of office space. The project also will include the acquisition of various construction and fabrication shop equipment. Construction is expected to begin in March 2024 and be completed by December 2024.

PTS and wholly owned subsidiary Steel Valley Fabricators, a regional full-service welding and metal fabricating shop that produces custom parts and weldments, will share the space and work together to service their different markets in the region.

PTS is headquartered in Braddock, Pa., with branch offices in Texas, California, and Hawaii.
