Applications for Precast Concrete Water Storage Tanks

These tanks are ideal for a wide range of uses:

  • Agricultural water storage (including slurry and dirty water)
  • Rainwater harvesting systems
  • General water reservoir applications
  • Farmyards, commercial yards, or remote sites with no mains water

Why Choose Concrete for Water Storage?

Concrete water tanks offer superior durability and value over plastic or steel alternatives:

  • Long lifespan – Up to 50 years with minimal maintenance
  • No risk of shifting or floating in heavy rain or flooding
  • Can be buried and support loads above ground
  • Non-corrosive and environmentally friendly
  • Ideal for large capacity storage with structural strength built-in

Simple and Efficient Installation

Installing an underground concrete water tank is straightforward with the right site access. After the area is excavated and lined with a 50mm sand bed, the tank is positioned using a truck-mounted crane. No concrete backfilling is typically needed — saving on materials and labour costs.
