water tank

Water storage is an essential aspect of any community, and tanks and towers are commonly used to store water for various purposes. Tanks and towers come in different shapes, sizes, and materials, depending on their intended use. But which tank and tower types are usually used as water storage containers? Here are some ideas.

1. Fiberglass Tanks

Fibreglass tanks are made of a composite material that is lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant. These tanks are ideal for storing water in areas where the water quality is critical, as they do not rust or corrode. Fibreglass tanks are also easy to install and maintain, making them popular in many communities.

2. Concrete Tanks

Concrete tanks are one of the most popular types of tanks used for water storage. These tanks are durable, long-lasting, and resistant to the elements. Concrete tanks can also be customised to fit the community’s needs, including size and shape. However, they are heavy and require significant time and effort to install.

3. Pillow Tanks

Pillow tanks are a portable, flexible, and collapsible water storage solution. These tanks are high-strength PVC material and can hold up to thousands of gallons of water. Pillow tanks are easy to transport and install, ideal for emergencies or temporary water storage.

4. Stainless Steel

Stainless steel tanks are known for their durability, strength, and corrosion resistance. These tanks are commonly used in areas where the water quality is poor, or the tank is exposed to harsh environmental conditions. Stainless steel tanks can also be customised to fit the community’s specific needs, including size and shape.

5. Bolted Steel

Bolted steel tanks are a popular choice for water storage due to their strength, durability, and versatility. These tanks are made of steel panels bolted together to create a tank of any size or shape. Bolted steel tanks are easy to install and maintain, making them a cost-effective water storage solution.

6. Corrugated or Galvanized Steel

Corrugated or galvanised steel tanks are another popular option for water storage. These tanks have galvanised corrugated steel panels to prevent rust and corrosion. Corrugated or galvanised steel tanks are durable, long-lasting, and easy to install.

7. Polyethylene

Polyethylene tanks are a lightweight and durable water storage solution. These high-density polyethylene tanks resist corrosion, rust, and UV rays. Polyethylene tanks are easy to install and maintain and can be customised to meet the community’s needs.

8. Standpipe

Standpipes are tall, vertical pipes that are used to store water. These pipes are commonly used in areas where the water pressure is low, or the water supply is limited. Standpipes can hold large volumes of water and are easy to install and maintain.

9. Composite Elevated

Composite elevated tanks are tall towers that are used to store water. These towers are made of composite materials that are lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant. Composite elevated tanks can hold large volumes of water and are commonly used in areas with limited water supply.

10. Sphere or Spheroid

Spheres or spheroids are large, round tanks that store water. These tanks are steel or concrete and can hold large volumes of water. Spheres or spheroids are ideal for areas where the water supply is limited, or the water quality is poor.

Conclusion

Tanks and towers are commonly used as water storage containers in communities across Australia. The type of tank or tower chosen will depend on the community’s specific needs, including size, shape, and material. Whether it’s a fibreglass tank, concrete tank, pillow tank, stainless steel tank, or bolted steel tank, there is a water storage solution for every community.
