Tank construction costs

Tank construction costs

(OP)
Looking for order of magnitude cost estimate to construct a spherical pressure vessel, with the following characteristics:
- Material: carbon steel plate
- Volume: 845,584 ft3
- Diameter: 164 ft
- Height: 40 ft (TL-TL)
- MAWP: 170 psig

Just looking for ballpark figures...$10 million? $100 million?

RE: Tank construction costs

Spherical..?????

How do you have a 164 ft diameter and a height of 40 ft (TL-TL)

This makes no sense...

This giant volume should be broken into a number of pressure vessels.
