Construct square, rectangular or circular tanks using our precast concrete tanks walling system. Our tanks are suitable for storing clean and contaminated liquids, up to 4m high; this system is BS 8007 compliant.
The tanks can be constructed above or below ground, making them less obtrusive to their surroundings. Installation of the precast wall elements is fast, safe and efficient. Units are placed onto a reinforced concrete foundation and shimmed to level. The buttresses on the back of the wall enable the units to free-stand during installation, additional propping may not be required, depending on site conditions. Reinforcement bars are inserted through precast holes in the unit and tied into the floor reinforcement before pouring the floor slab. An outer reinforced concrete beam is then cast to further secure and seal the base joint.
The units interlock to ensure good alignment and a Hydrotite water-stop creates an effective seal in the vertical joints. Once installed the units are bolted together to create a compression joint. Thanks to the unique tongue and groove system the wall panels can be installed on a radius to create circular tanks, the 1m long sections enable tanks of any diameter, length or width to be formed.
Wall units are manufactured under factory control, have been designed to relevant British (BS) standards and are CE marked.
