Water storage tanks

Water storage tanks have dual purposes. They are widely used in a variety of industries, such as construction, agriculture, chemical, and water waste treatment. 

Water storage tanks are also frequently used in emergency situations. They aid with fire fighting, and they are also used to hold excess water from a storm or cyclone, helping to prevent flooding. 

We specialise in wastewater treatment solutions and know our water tanks. We can help you find the best water storage tank for your application. Read on to learn more. 

What are the different types of water storage tanks?

There are several different types of water storage tanks available, including lightweight fibreglass solutions and tanks made from strong, galvanised steel. 

Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Water Tanks

Fibreglass reinforced plastic (FRP) tanks offer lightweight wastewater treatment and water storage for a range of applications. Each one comes with a 50 year design life expectancy, ensuring a long-lasting and reliable water storage solution.  

FRP Vertical Pits 

These tanks are built to handle the most difficult ground conditions, thanks to their quality manufacturing. They are available in capacities ranging from 180 litres to 19,000 litres. This type of water storage tank is ideal for stormwater drainage and sanitary plumbing. (Read the product datasheet for more information.)

Torpedo Tanks 

Torpedo Tanks are a lightweight, fibreglass solution made for wastewater storage and retention. Their multi-interconnected tanks allow for larger capacity between 10,000 and 42,000 litres, which is perfect for industrial applications. Installation is quick and simple and there’s even an adjustable riser for burial depth of up to 1900mm. (Check out the product datasheet to find out more.) 

Hydraulic Water Tanks

Hydraulic water tanks are best for larger applications, with some holding up to one megalitre of liquid and offering multiple compartments. Each one has been specifically engineered to offer a more robust way of storing water, exceeding the requirements for wind-loading and water pressures. 

Hydraulic Round Panel Water Tanks

These water tanks are known for their cylindrical shape. They can be used to store a lot of rainwater, wastewater, stormwater, and portable water due to their galvanised steel construction. They come with multiple access points and hatches for ease of use and are available in a wide range of colours and sizes. Choose from 30,000 litres to one megalitre. 

Hydraulic Stainless Steel Tanks 

These rectangular water tanks that have been made with rust, fire and corrosion-resistant materials to extend their lifespan for up to 100 years. They are extremely reliable with a storage capacity of 5,000 to 150,000 litres and an ideal solution for portable water storage and reuse. 

Hydraulic Transportable Water Tank 

This 40-foot container has four different compartments, which are designed to collectively hold 60,000 litres of water. One of its main benefits is its ease of installation, allowing it to be dispatched quickly in the event of an emergency situation, such as a sudden storm or hurricane. 

Hydraulic Water Rectangular Tank 

This tank is another great option for cyclone-affected areas, capable of withstanding tougher environments thanks to its robust manufacturing and use of galvanised steel. It’s built for commercial and industrial use with the capacity to store a large amount of rainwater and stormwater (between 30,000 litres to one megalitre).

What are some important things I should know about water storage tanks? 

The two most important things to consider when buying a water storage tank is size and capacity. You want a solution that’s going to meet your needs, so it’s no use getting a tank that’s too small. Make sure you fully understand how much storage you need before you commit to buying your storage tank.

You should also make sure the water tank you choose has all the appropriate accreditations to go with it. Check that it meets the necessary construction standards for your region, such as Australia’s AS2304 water storage for fire protection requirement or the AS3500.2 Sanitary Plumbing and Drainage standard.
