    Modular Steel Tanks

    Durable, galvanised modular steel water storage tanks engineered for rapid assembly and long-lasting performance — from 12,000 to over 1,000,000 litres.

    Built to Store. Built to Last.

    Our galvanised modular steel water storage tanks are engineered for durability and rapid installation. Available in a wide range of capacities, these tanks are ideal for industrial, agricultural, and municipal water storage applications across South Africa.

    The modular panel design allows for flexible sizing, easy transport to remote sites, and on-site assembly without heavy lifting equipment. Hot-dip galvanised steel ensures decades of corrosion-free performance.

    Capacity Range

    12,000 – 1,000,000+ L

    Material

    Hot-Dip Galvanised Steel

    Assembly Time

    3–7 Days On-Site

    Tank Configurations

    Tank Types We Supply & Install

    Every site has different requirements. We offer three core tank configurations — each engineered for specific applications and site conditions.

    Cylindrical Steel Tanks

    Cylindrical Steel Tanks

    Our most popular configuration — cylindrical modular steel tanks deliver maximum storage capacity with the smallest footprint. The curved panel design distributes water pressure evenly, reducing structural stress and extending lifespan.

    Capacity Range: 12,000 – 1,000,000+ litres

    Common Use Cases

    Municipal bulk water storage
    Industrial process water
    Agricultural irrigation reserves
    Fire protection reserves (SANS 10252)

    Key Highlights

    Most efficient volume-to-footprint ratio
    Even pressure distribution
    Minimal foundation requirements
    Standard diameters from 3m to 20m+
    Square / Rectangular Tanks

    Square / Rectangular Tanks

    Square and rectangular modular tanks are ideal for sites with space constraints or where tanks need to fit into specific building layouts. Corrugated steel panel construction provides excellent rigidity and allows for flexible dimensioning.

    Capacity Range: 10,000 – 500,000+ litres

    Common Use Cases

    Tight urban or industrial sites
    Underground or basement installation
    Commercial building integration
    Sewage and wastewater holding

    Key Highlights

    Custom length × width configurations
    Space-efficient for constrained sites
    Stackable for multi-level installations
    Compatible with concrete or steel bases
    Elevated Water Tanks

    Elevated Water Tanks

    Elevated steel tanks mounted on engineered tower structures provide gravity-fed water pressure without the need for booster pumps. Essential for rural water schemes, fire protection systems, and sites requiring consistent pressure head.

    Capacity Range: 5,000 – 200,000+ litres

    Common Use Cases

    Gravity-fed distribution systems
    Rural and peri-urban water supply
    Fire suppression header tanks
    Agricultural and livestock watering

    Key Highlights

    Eliminates need for booster pumps
    Consistent gravity-fed pressure
    Steel tower heights from 6m to 30m+
    Reduces long-term energy costs

    Our Process

    From Sizing to Storage

    A structured approach to delivering the right water storage solution for your needs.

    01

    Capacity Assessment

    We assess your water storage needs based on daily demand, fire reserve requirements, and backup capacity to recommend the right tank size.

    02

    Site Survey & Design

    Detailed site survey to determine foundation requirements, access for delivery, and optimal tank positioning for your layout.

    03

    Foundation Preparation

    Preparation of a level, compacted foundation pad — concrete ring beam or full slab — engineered for the tank load and soil conditions.

    04

    On-Site Assembly

    Modular steel panels are delivered and assembled on site by our specialist teams — typically completed within 3–7 days depending on tank size.

    05

    Liner & Fittings

    Installation of food-grade internal liners, inlet/outlet fittings, overflow pipes, level indicators, and any required accessories.

    06

    Inspection & Handover

    Final inspection, leak testing, and commissioning with full documentation and warranty. Maintenance plans available.
