For high volumes, plastic (polyethylene) becomes structurally limited, and concrete is prone to cracking and long lead times. SBS highlights several advantages of Galvalume® steel panel tanks:

• Engineering Excellence: SBS utilizes Galvalume® G300 steel, a continuous hot-dipped aluminum/zinc alloy-coated structural steel. This provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanized steel, especially in Kenya’s diverse climates.

• Resilience: Unlike concrete reservoirs which are rigid and prone to cracking during earth tremors or seismic activity (common in the Rift Valley), the modular bolted panels of an SBS tank allow for flexibility.

• Longevity: These tanks have an expected lifespan of 60+ years, significantly outlasting plastic and matching the endurance of concrete without the seepage issues.
