Reliable Water Supply When It Matters Most
WHY CHOOSE THE F.I.R.E TANK
DESIGN
The strength of the steel
tanks ensure that they won’t deteriorate over time under the harsh
South African sun, as other materials do. Additional corrosion
protection from a long life polymer coating on the inside of the tank
walls and base prevents the growth of algae and bacteria.
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:
❶ 3 x higher corrosion resistant properties,
❷ Excellent anti-corrosive resistant Flat surfaces and cut edges,
❸ High corrosive resistance against neutral salt & acid rain,
❹ High quality and lower replacement costs.
The corrosion resistance reduces maintenance and replacement costs as time progresses making the Fire tank very cost efficient. PosMAC extends the life of the Fire Tank up to 50 years.
DOME ROOF DESIGN
The Fire Tank roof is constructed using .55mm full hard Zincalume corrugated sheeting. The roof is movable, complete with a heavy-duty lockable access hatch. Furthermore, it is light and weatherproof, and designed to withstand wind speeds of up to 100 km/h. The Dome Roof can be fitted with a ventilator to prevent condensation on the inside and an internal or external ladder for easy access in and out of the tank. The roof can be sealed with a felt seal to make it bird, rodent and dust proof.
ANCHORING OF THE TANK
The Fire Tank foundations can vary depending on the size, the application and the design requirements of the tank. A reinforced concrete ring beam is required to anchor the tank, especially for larger tanks and for installations in extreme windy conditions. We can give you a detailed drawing and site instruction if you would like to construct the ring beam yourself.
MODULAR FLEXIBILITY
The bolted nature of the tanks makes building very quick when compared to welded or concrete structures. It also allows the existing tanks to be unbolted and moved on to new locations when needed, significantly increasing asset value. Engineered designs will accommodate secure tank storage for local environmental conditions, such as high wind speeds, snow or seismic loads. The bolted tank and silo system allows for structural designs to be used in various configurations, including water storage reservoirs, water standpipes and elevated water distribution tanks.
