Large steel water tanks have emerged as an important asset in fire awareness and protection strategies for farmers. Kingspan Water Tanks range of Rhino and Heritage tanks provide multifaceted benefits in mitigating the impact of bushfires.

Immediate Water Supply: When a fire breaks out, having access to a substantial water supply is critical. Water tanks ensure that farmers have an immediate source of water for firefighting efforts, aiding in the containment and suppression of fires.

Creating Firebreaks: Strategically positioned water tanks can help create firebreaks, clear areas devoid of flammable material and hinder the spread of flames. These defensible spaces protect farms and property, allowing farmers to combat fires more effectively.

Livestock Safety: Water tanks provide a vital source of water for livestock during fire emergencies. Ensuring that animals have access to water is essential for their health and survival under fire-threatened conditions.

On-Site Firefighting Infrastructure: By connecting pumps and hoses to water tanks, farmers can establish an on-site firefighting infrastructure. This immediate access to water empowers them to respond effectively before professional firefighting teams arrive.

Community Collaboration: Water tanks can also serve as communal resources, strengthening community firefighting efforts. Shared water sources enhance the overall firefighting capacity of the community and promote unity among neighbouring farmers.

Using rainwater tanks to harvest and save rainwater will help reduce the built environment’s environmental footprint as well as lower utility costs. Although rainwater tanks are not compulsory in every Australian state and territory, they are becoming key features in new build projects or when making significant changes to an existing property.

When designing a rainwater tank, designers often prioritise functional considerations such as size, capacity and placement. However, with the growing range of shapes, materials and finishes available, water tanks can be made to blend in with the landscape or enhance a home or building’s aesthetic.

Designers and owners no longer need to worry about rainwater tanks compromising their creative vision. Kingspan Water Tanks, Australia’s trusted water tank brand, supplies long-lasting steel water tanks in a range of styles that can be matched to any home design. Below, we look at a few notable examples.

Contemporary

Contemporary homes are functional and minimalist dwellings with a focus on sleek lines, sparse ornamentation, and natural materials. Expansive glazing walls, concrete and timber are on trend, with a focus on natural light, energy efficiency and sustainability. Contemporary-style homes respond to the surrounding landscape and create spaces where form meets function.

The rounded ends of Kingspan Water Tanks’ Slimline Tank create a sleek, modern look that is perfectly in harmony with modern styles. With the ability to customise the length, width and height, the slimline water tank can be made to fit in the space available. Choose Galvanised steel or the dark steel tones of Monument in Colorbond® to compliment the organic hues of wood or to accentuate the industrial aesthetic of cement grey.

Country

Corrugated roofing, a sandstone chimney, stone walls, and cast-iron brackets characterise the Australian country home. The earthy colour palette works intuitively with the sunburnt surroundings.

Referencing the prototypical Australian country aesthetic, Kingspan Water Tanks’ Round Water Tanks are robust tanks with minimal seams and a classic round look. Specify it in galvanised steel not only for practicality and durability but also to capture a timeless and rustic style.

Federation

Federation-era homes are modelled after English Edwardian homes, which may be identified by their red bricks and traditional ornamentation. With the inclusion of patios and verandahs, opening up internal space, and a preference for greenery throughout, Federation houses transform the style into something more suitable for Australian climates.

Kingspan Water Tanks’ Round Water Tank in Manor Red is the perfect match for the red brick exteriors. Sturdy yet elegant, the Round Water Tank plays off the style’s traditional foundations, providing a striking blend of old and new.

Hamptons

Traditionally, Hamptons-style homes favour timber exteriors with horizontal weatherboard cladding and coastal colours. Detailing such as beautiful balustrades, window trims and pillars adds character to the quintessential Hampton’s facade.

Neutral tones such as white, creams and light greys for cladding are popular in the Hamptons style. Match these tones with a Kingspan Water Tanks’ Slimline Tank in Surfmist or Classic Cream. This tank’s corrugated exterior also highlights the horizontal lines on the building’s exterior cladding.

Mid-century modern

Clean lines, angular shapes, and playful colour schemes are hallmarks of mid-century modern architecture. These buildings often feature large windows, cantilevered walls and flat-facing surfaces, with an approach that marries indoor spaces with the outside.

Kingspan Water Tanks’ Modline Tank in the range of Colorbond colours allows you to match to your property, or pick a different colour create a Cottage Green can provide a cool, calming contrast to warmer tones, while the tanks its muted curves complement the style’s bold forms.

Kingspan Water Tanks are more than just a tank. The sleek designs and premium materials not only provide a long-lasting, high-quality product, but help to elevate the properties design.

SteelCore Tank Makes the Finest Fire Protection Tanks in the Industry – If you have a home or business in a rural area with less access to emergency services, a wildfire can be a very scary proposition. With the current COVID situation and firefighting services having a much harder time responding to fires and other emergencies, having a solid fire protection plan is imperative for you and your home or business and, more importantly, access to water. One of the great ways you can prepare for a fire is by having a fire protection tank for peace of mind. We’ll go over why a fire protection tank is so important and why our fire protection tanks stand above our competitors.

How Can a Fire Protection Tank Help Me?

Fire protection tanks are water tanks that can provide a stable water supply for fire suppression purposes. Below are a few examples of how a fire protection tank can come in handy in the case of a fire:

• Fire protection tanks can be hooked up to a sprinkler system, which can put out or at least slow fires until emergency services arrive.
• Once firefighters do arrive, they will need a water source to hook up to. If you are outside of the city, you may not have access to the municipal water supply, so a fire protection tank gives firefighters something to hook their hoses up to in order to put out the fire as quickly as possible.
• In the case of a forest fire, emergency services may need to drop water from a helicopter in order to contain the fire. A fire protection tank gives them an easy and quick option for refills to reduce the time they spend refilling and help them get back into action. A forest fire that gets out of control can easily come onto and damage your land, so being able to help local firefighters in this way can keep you and your property safe.
• If you have lived through some of the most devastating wildfires we have experienced here in California, you know there is very little that can be done for a fire that is raging and being fueled by Santa Anna winds. A large water storage tank could, however give you the peace of mind that if in case there is another disaster expected you are much better prepared and our amazing firefighters will also have something to work with.

Why Are Our Fire Protection Tanks The Right Choice?

So what can we offer that our competitors can’t? Below is a few examples of what the “core” difference can get you:

• Our corrugated bolted steel tanks are some of the best fire protection tanks money can buy. Our tanks are built to be NFPA 22 & NSF-61 compliant and will meet any local regulations and guidelines. Our tanks also come equipped with an anti-vortex assembly (which is often required if the tank is to be used as a fire suppression source). These tanks are built from high quality bolted steel that can survive even the most extreme weather conditions and ensure that your emergency water supply is kept safe during earthquakes, flooding, or hurricanes.
• Our bolted steel tanks require less maintenance than poly tanks offered by other companies. This saves you time, money, and peace of mind when you don’t have to constantly worry about paying for and keeping track of rigorous maintenance schedules.
• We offer flexible installation that can’t be matched. Live “off the grid”? We can come to you. Have no clue how you can install a tank with quirks and obstacles in your land? Our trained technicians have seen it all and can guarantee a smooth and effective installation no matter where you are. We can even work with you and your local fire stations to ensure the fittings of your tank are the ones preferred by the stations.

Storage tanks are an incredibly flexible tool that are used in a wide variety of businesses and projects. Every project is going to be different, and we recognize that every client is going to have different needs. We know that it can be overwhelming to see hundreds of different tanks and wonder which one is right for you. That’s why we’re here to give you the scoop on what you should look for depending on the industry (or home project) you are using your tank for.

Potable Water Storage

One of the most common uses for a storage tank is potable water storage. Obviously, the size of the tank will depend on the circumstances of your project. If you are just getting a tank for your family of 4, you probably won’t need as big of a tank as a city looking for municipal water storage. Our potable water tanks hold anywhere from 700 to 3-million gallons of water.

The most important aspect of potable water storage is keeping the water safe to drink. That’s why you need a liner that will prevent the water from ever touching the metal of the tank (otherwise you risk metals and rust getting into the water).

Fire Protection Tanks

With firefighting services stretched extremely thin in many parts of the U.S., having a fire protection system in place is really important. Storage tanks are actually a great fire protection mechanism. They can be used to store water for sprinkler systems or can be designed so that firefighters can connect their hose right to the tank to start putting out fires immediately. How big the tank needs to be will vary, which is why we offer tanks holding between 700 to 3-million gallons.

In terms of what factors to look for, fire protection tanks need to be built to last. That’s why we recommend a corrugated bolted steel tank. The bolted steel holds up in even the most extreme weather conditions (earthquakes, snowstorms, hurricane winds), and lasts for many years. You also will want to find a tank that has an Anti-Vortex Assembly, as that controls the water flow when firefighting services hook up a hose to the tank. Lastly, you will want to make sure that your tank design complies with NFPA 22 and NSF 61 safety standards.

Wastewater Tanks

A lot of industries (especially the food and wine industry) will produce gallons and gallons of wastewater. The EPA has very strict regulations on how wastewater must be treated before being released back into aquifers or other water supplies. So you not only need a tank that is sturdy and won’t leak, but you also need a tank designed with a treatment system in place.

Since the water is going to be dirty, it is likely going to have all sorts of chemicals and bacteria when first being put into the tank. That is why you need an extra-strong liner to prevent the chemicals and bacteria from corroding the liner. We recommend either an XR-3 or XR-5 liner for this reason.

Rainwater Harvesting

One recent trend in the water conservation world is rainwater harvesting. In simple terms, this is the process of collecting rainwater and saving it in order to use it in the future. Rainwater harvesting isn’t just for businesses, even homeowners can utilize rainwater to save some money.

The thing with rainwater harvesting is it isn’t only about the tank. You need a proper conveyance system (usually gutters) to carry the water without letting it touch the ground (otherwise it becomes stormwater, although we have options for that too). In terms of the size of the tank, it obviously depends on how much rainfall you have. We like to use the following formula to give clients an idea of how much rainwater needs to be stored:

1 inch of rain on 1000 square feet of the roof can produce up to 600 gallons of water. That means if you have 2000 square feet of roof with 10 inches of annual rainfall would lead to 12,000 gallons of water. You can use this to get a general idea of how much water you will need to be stored based on the annual rainfall near you.

Mining and Fracking

Storage tanks have a wide variety of uses when it comes to the mining and fracking industry. Whether you need to store fracking fluid, wastewater, petroleum products, drilling mud, etc. There is a tank for every purpose.

We offer temporary storage tanks specifically designed to hold large amounts of the “settling” liquid that needs to be held until it could be properly disposed of. Once again we offer specialty liners that can handle all of the caustic substances present in the waste from these processes. Because we’re talking a lot of water in many mining and oil and gas operations, most of our temporary storage tanks can hold up to 4 million gallons of liquid.

Agriculture and Irrigation

Water is a huge aspect of the agricultural industry. You’ll need storage tanks to hold a consistent water supply and will also need storage for wastewater and runoff.

Often times you may need to move your storage tank from field to field to water your livestock or different crops. Our temporary storage tanks are great for this purpose. We also offer easy install options that can be set up by one or two people without the need for a crane or big machinery.

No matter what your specific needs are, our bolted steel tanks will do the job. With perfectly crafted panels, custom roof styles, and manufacturing processes with sustainability in mind, our tanks are the best in the business.

Rainwater Retention and Detention Tanks, an Architectural Solution to Mitigate Urban Stormwater Runoff

On-site rainwater retention and detention systems are the most effective and economical method of controlling increased stormwater runoff. Accordingly, many councils are requiring retention and detention tanks for new developments to accommodate the runoff generated from the increase of hard surfaces in the urban environment.

Stormwater Shock Absorbers: Rainwater Retention and Detention Tanks, an Architectural Solution to Mitigate Urban Stormwater Runoff Tanks takes a deep dive into the world of on-site detention and retention systems. The main distinction between rainwater retention and detention is that a retention tank’s purpose is to hold onto the water for future use, whereas a detention tank eventually empties the water soon after it is collected. Both of these functions absorb the immediate impact of rainwater events and relieve pressure on existing drainage infrastructure.

Kingspan Water Tanks are not just saving water; they’re helping to save our cities and our waterways. Kingspan Water Tanks manufactures long-lasting, quality, made-to-measure Bluescope AQUAPLATE® steel water tanks and accessories for Australian homes and businesses. Kingspan Detention Kits fit quickly and easily on existing rainwater tanks and allow easy adjustment of the proportion of detention and retention. This means you can tailor the on-site detention system to meet your requirements.

Steel Bolted tanks for Agriculture – If you asked someone why you would need a storage tank in agriculture, the first thing most people think of is a water tank for irrigation. While irrigation is obviously a pretty important aspect of agriculture, there are actually a lot of ways that storage tanks can be useful for an agricultural business. We’ll go over a couple of different uses storage tanks have in agriculture and then show you how we can help you find and install the best tank for you and your business.

Steel Bolted Storage Tanks for Agriculture

So why would you need a storage tank in the agricultural industry? The truth is that there are a lot of reasons a storage tank can be useful, below are just a few examples:

Irrigation- We’ve already mentioned how water storage tanks can be used in irrigation, but our storage tanks can help in multiple aspects of the irrigation process. Our tanks can not only store water but also come equipped with systems to treat the water (harder minerals found in water can hurt the effectiveness of fertilizers and nutrients).

As Australia continues to grapple with water scarcity and the challenges of urbanisation, a local and natural solution is gaining traction—the capture and harvesting of rainwater, more specifically with a quality Kingspan Water Tank.

This practice not only provides an additional source of water for cities but also presents a range of environmental and practical benefits that are crucial for ensuring the resilience of urban areas.

Rainwater harvesting offers a simple yet effective approach to securing water resources in cities across Australia.

By capturing rainwater as it falls and storing it for various uses, communities can tap into a clean and locally available water source that requires minimal treatment.

Unlike stormwater, which often carries pollutants and requires extensive processing, rainwater is relatively free from contaminants, making it an attractive option for various non-potable purposes.

One of the significant advantages of rainwater harvesting lies in its potential to alleviate the burden on urban stormwater systems.

In many urban areas, rapid urbanisation has led to increased impervious surfaces, such as roads and buildings, which prevent rainwater from naturally infiltrating into the ground.

This phenomenon results in excess stormwater runoff that can overwhelm drainage systems, leading to flooding and erosion.

Harvesting rainwater intercepts a portion of this runoff, reducing the volume of water entering drainage systems during minor and major rainfall events.

This reduction in stormwater flow can contribute to the prevention of flooding, safeguarding urban areas from water-related emergencies.

Furthermore, by decreasing the load on stormwater infrastructure, rainwater harvesting also helps extend the lifespan of these systems, reducing the need for costly upgrades.

Another compelling benefit of rainwater harvesting is its positive impact on the health of local waterways.

Capturing rainwater and storing it for even a short time reduces nitrogen and other pollutant loads as well as reducing salts and sediment flows into sensitive waterways.

As described above, rainwater harvesting reduces the scouring effect of minor rainfall events constantly eroding local waterways.

Stormwater runoff often carries pollutants, such as oil, chemicals, and debris, which can degrade the quality of water bodies and harm aquatic ecosystems.

By diverting a portion of rainwater away from stormwater runoff, harvesting systems limit the influx of pollutants into local waterways.

This reduction in pollution can lead to improved water quality, supporting the health of aquatic life and the sustainability of these vital ecosystems.

The practice of rainwater harvesting aligns well with the principles of sustainability and resilience.

By utilising a local and renewable water source, cities can reduce their dependence on distant water supplies and contribute to their long-term water security.

As well, rainwater harvesting systems can be integrated into both new and existing urban infrastructure, demonstrating an adaptable and scalable solution for addressing water challenges.

As climate change continues to influence weather patterns and increase the frequency of extreme weather events, adopting strategies such as rainwater harvesting becomes increasingly important.

It offers a versatile and proactive approach to water management, enabling cities to reduce flood risks, cope better with drought, and protect the health of their local waterways.

As Australia seeks to build resilient and sustainable cities, the role of rainwater harvesting in securing water resources Is an important part of the solution.

Is It Worth It Buying a Rainwater Tank?

In our world today, we all want something that can save us money but as well as benefit us. For instance, if we want to buy a car, we often go for a hybrid and elegant-looking one but, of course, being fuel-efficient is part of what we consider too because it saves us from gas expenses.

The same thing goes for water tanks. Many people want to find out if they can save money by investing in one because of the many benefits that are associated with them. But before we talk about it, let’s take a look at how water tanks work and why people invest in them to save on their budgets.

For starters, water tanks or rainwater tanks are installed in an open area that is easily exposed to the rain, and they collect all of this water. The tanks are then used for a number of things like irrigation, cleaning, or other household needs (toilet flushing).

You’ll have to pay upfront costs such as installation when you invest in one, but it pays off over time because you won’t be paying high water bills anymore. You can also save money if your municipality has restrictions on watering plants during certain days, so by having a tank with stored water, you’re always ready when needed!

With this on the line, it can be pretty clear to see that investing in a water tank isn’t a bad idea, especially if you frequently use water. But of course, there are certain things you need to consider as well. So head on below to know more about these things.

Why Should Consider Installing a Rainwater Tank?

A water tank might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you’re looking for a way to save money on your bills, but it can actually do so if done right. One of the most common reasons people invest in tanks is that they are energy-efficient and don’t use up much power or electricity.

On top of this, installing a rainwater tank also means saving more space on your property as well as having less hassle with finding space for other heavy utilities like gas tanks! So if you want an eco-friendly solution and cheaper monthly water bills, then investing in one should be worth considering.

Another thing that is worth mentioning is that water tanks are very durable and can last up to several years. It’s a long-term investment that can be used for a number of different things.

Do Rainwater Tanks Actually Save Money?

If you think about it, water tanks should save you money because it’s a long-term investment and it saves you a lot on water bills. But the real question is, do they actually help with saving cash in your wallet all the time?

The answer to this really depends on where you live and how much water that area requires for daily use. If your property has an open space that allows rainwater to reach the tank without any problem, then yes, they can be of great benefit! It all boils down to what kind of scenario you’re living in at the moment.

However, if there are obstacles like trees or buildings around the vicinity of where raindrops would fall, then no, installing one might not be worth it after all. It’s also not that great if you live in an area where it only rains very little every year.

These are things that you really need to consider before making your final decision. They’re all important factors that you’ll need to think about before investing in a rainwater tank, so if you have enough space and it often rains where you live, then go on ahead!

How Long Do Rainwater Tanks Last?

The average lifespan of a water tank is around 20-25 years, but if well taken care of, some people say they even lasted as long as 35! So it just really depends on the quality and how much wear and tear your rainwater tank goes through over time.

If you’re not careful about what happens with the outside, then they’ll start showing signs of aging faster than usual such as paint peeling off or cracks appearing near welds. But usually, these things don’t happen until after many decades by following proper maintenance guidelines and cleaning.

In a Nutshell

Saving water is important for the environment and our wallets. Water tanks are an investment that can really help your household save money in the long run, but it’s a decision you need to make carefully based on what type of tank you need and how much space you have available.

We hope this post has given you some valuable information about water tanks so you can make an informed decision as to whether or not they will be worth your while.
