Over the past four months, AGI-Envirotank has melted steel to manufacture the massive tank. With a diameter of 34 feet and 10 inches the tank weighs 220,000 pounds, the equivalent of 45 full-sized pickup trucks.
The tank will be loaded on specialized trailers, including a push truck, a pull truck and a brake truck. Altogether, the convoy extends 205 feet, about the size of a hockey rink.
