Steel water tanks offer the capability to store large quantities of water for residential, rural or industrial applications.
Benefits
Heat resistant
While no tank is 100% fire-proof, steel water tanks are the most durable in terms of heat resistance, meaning they’re the preferable choice for properties located in fire prone areas, and some are even mandated for fire brigade usage.
Capacity
Steel tanks can be manufactured to hold more water than poly tanks. While multiple poly tanks can be installed, the plumbing becomes complicated, where a single large steel water tank is the simplest and most durable solution.
We manufacture round water tanks¹ up to 22,000L capacity, suitable for rural water consumption.
Simplicity
As we pointed out in the previous paragraph, installing a single steel tank is advantageous over multiple poly tanks with the price per litre becoming cheaper with larger capacity steel tanks.
Aquaplate®
Bluescope Aquaplate® Steel is a galvanised product with the inclusion of a special food-grade polymer film laminated on the inside of the steel that forms the water tank. This unique laminated product meets the highly specific and stringent requirements for storing potable water.
The product meets Australian and international standards:
- AS 1397-2011 Food grade polymer film
- AS 2070-1999 AS/NZS 4020:2018
- ISO 9001:2015 Quality System certified
Aesthetics
Steel tanks look good. They’re iconic in the Australian landscape and way of life and are not only a more natural looking tank, but also produce a lower carbon footprint that poly or concrete water tanks.
Durability
Steel tanks are built with reinforcing to ensure they stand the test of time. Not only are they built to last decades, all our tanks carry Bluescope Steel’s 20 year Aquaplate® warranty on the steel.
