With this in mind, we fully support the fact that there must be an oversight body such as A.S.I.B. to ensure that suppliers in the fire industry, including ourselves, adhere to set safety and quality standards, thus ensuring that clients in the fire industry receive a good quality product which conforms to standards at a competitive price.

Aquadam FireTank
The Fire Protection Water Tanks from Aquadam are manufactured with a steel plated sheet with the highest corrosion resistance available, called PosMAC. This means that when you invest in a fire protection system you can be sure that your tank is designed according to the latest recognized code of practice so that it will last in any fire situation.
Our FireTanks are perfect for fire protection in the industrial, commercial and agricultural industry. Installation of your FireTank is carried out by one of our trusted fire tank dealers/installers in South Africa and abroad. Protect your assets with a PosMAC.
Aquadam is the exclusive supplier of PosMAC steel shell water storage solutions in South Africa.
PosMAC is a Magnesium, Zinc and Aluminium alloy coating that acts differently to iron when exposed to the elements. The Al, Mg and Zn elements create a protective barrier coating to the tank shell on the inside and outside. This process allows the steel to be used safely for protracted periods and includes:
- 3 x higher corrosion resistant properties
- Excellent anti-corrosive resistant flat surfaces and cut edges
- High corrosive resistance against neutral salt & acid rain
Unlike other tanks used in the fire protection industry, the Aquadam FireTank does not have a PVC liner (or bladder), and as such, minimises the risk of any possible fouling of the liner in the tank. The long-term cost factor is less than for existing fire tanks as it reduces maintenance and replacement costs due to corrosion as time progresses. A longer replacement period can help achieve a greater economic benefit. PosMAC will extend the life of any FireTank up to 50 years.
Of course, Aquadam can also supply you with a Zincalume tank with a PVC Liner/bladder that can be used in a fire protection system.
