Water Tanks Water tanks are liquid storage containers, these tanks are usually storing water for human consumption. The need for water tanks is as old as civilized man. Water tanks provide for the storage of drinking water potable, irrigation agriculture, fire suppression, agricultural farming and livestock, chemical manufacturing, food preparation and many other applications... Various materials are used for constructing water tanks: plastic, polyethylene, polypropylene, fibreglass, concrete, steel (welded or bolted, carbon or stainless). Earthen ponds designed for water storage are also often referred to as tanks. The profile of water tanks begins with the application parameters, thus the type of material used and the design of the tank was dictated by these variables: 1. Location of the water tank (indoors, outdoors, above ground or underground). 2. Volume of water tank will need to hold. 3. What the water will be used for. 4. Temperature of area where water will be stored, concern for freezing. 5. Pressure required to deliver water. 6. How is the water to be delivered to the water tank. 7. Wind and Earthquake design considerations allow water tanks to survive seismic and high wind events. |
