When the local water source is insufficient or inconsistent, a large supply of water will need to be maintained on site in the event of a fire. FM Approved fire water storage tanks are intended to provide a reliable repository for the water for the fire protection system. FM Approvals water tanks are evaluated from a structural standpoint including earthquake, wind resistance and roof loads.
Product Details of Rain Water Harvesting Tanks
Rainwater harvesting tanks are integral components of systems designed to collect,store and manage rainwater for future use. These tanks are usually classified into above ground and underground types, depending on their placement relative to the surface. Above ground tanks are typically used for collecting rainwater from rooftops, whereas underground tanks are ideal for capturing runoff from ground-level catchment systems.The construction materials for these tanks vary and include reinforced cement concrete, Fiberglass reinforced plastic,brick or masonry, polyethylene or stainless steel.
The choice of material depends on factors like durability,cost and the specific environmental conditions of the installation site. Underground tanks must be designed to withstand soil and water pressure when empty and should be sealed to prevent contamination from surface or groundwater. Above ground tanks are easier to access for maintenance but may require additional structural support.
The design of rainwater harvesting tanks is influenced by several factors including the size of the drainage area, local rainfall patterns, anticipated water usage and the projected duration between rainfall events. The capacity of the tanks must be adequate to meet these requirements while ensuring efficient storage without overflow or wastage. Proper filtration systems are essential before water enters the tank to remove debris,dust and pollutants. Common filters include charcoal filters, sand filters and mesh screens. Maintenance of rainwater harvesting tanks is crucial for ensuring their longevity and water quality. Regular cleaning is necessary to remove accumulated sediment and debris from both the tank and associated components like gutters and pipes. Annual inspections should check for cracks or leaks in the tank structure and ensure that pumps and taps are functioning correctly.
