Water Tank Uses
Although water tanks are often used an aesthetic feature or provide some simple convenience – more importantly they serve a designated purpose and must demonstrate unquestionable durability and reliability. For example:
Fire Protection
CorGal® Tanks can be engineered and designed to be fire protection water tanks that comply with local, state and national fire protection codes and standards such as:
When municipal water sources are insufficient to meet fire flow requirements, an alternate water supply is often required by the fire marshal. Fire protection tanks can be equipped to supply fire suppression equipment or to supplement tanker truck requirements with fire department connections. When a fire event is underway and a truck is draining over 1,000 gallons per minute from the tank, the fire service must be assured that the tank will not implode or otherwise fail. CorGal® Tanks are backed by licensed engineers who have carefully calculated each tank’s requirements to ensure they will work in a crisis.
Fire protection tanks feature the following upgrades:
Tank Towers
Our tanks can be constructed on a tower or other elevated location if gravity flow or high visibility are desired. All towers are site engineered to ensure safety and longevity. These elevated tanks may be used as functional water storage tanks for various applications or as signage to help promote your business or serve as a landmark in a highly visible manner.
Let us help plan, design, and construct a high-quality tank as part of your project. We offer diverse solutions to meet your site plan requirements. With an extensive range of sizes and models available, we are confident we have a tank that will meet or exceed you project needs.
Other Tank Applications
We specialize in designing and installing water tanks for rainwater harvesting, green roof water storage, agricultural irrigation, potable water storage, fire protection, dust control, storm water management, increase water system volume and/or pressure and many other applications depending on your project requirements and needs. We also adapt our tanks for special projects, such as signage or shelters (from homes to garden sheds). We prefer to work hand-in-hand with you to help find the best product for your project and site.
