Advancements in reservoir and water tank technology has provided better solutions for bulk water
storage than large, costly concrete dams and structures. Smaller, localised water storage reservoirs
offer many advantages over the traditional options. These include cost and time savings for
installation and for auxiliary equipment such as pumps and pipework, better use of local water
resources, improved localised control and ability to detect and manage pipework leaks or challenges,
and community ownership.
SBS Tanks are modular, can be built in remote areas with limited or no access to roads. Installation is
done by skilled in-house teams, to engineer designed specifications and does not require heavy
equipment on site for construction. Suitable for use in a variety of applications and combinations,
SBS water storage tanks can be used for bulk water storage, effluent and wastewater processing and
storage and even temporary water storage requirements for infrastructure development and
construction sites. With over 500 sizes available, across the various ranges which include Standard,
Cylconic, Econo and Elevated options, civil engineers, municipal managers, planners and developers
have the support of the SBS engineering team to design the best solution for their water or liquid
storage requirements.
Starting at 7000 litres, the water storage capacity of SBS Tanks runs up to 4.2 million litres, and when
used in combination (i.e. more than one tank used to achieve the required storage capacity) provide
on-site flexibility to carry out maintenance on one line or water tank, without interrupting
community water supply.
