Why Are Fire Water Tanks Useful?

Many industrial and commercial buildings have water storage tanks that supply or supplement the fire sprinkler systems. The tanks are mainly fibreglass. In addition, they can be welded steel. Usually, fire water tanks are situated on a floor or the roof close to the top of a building. It enables gravity supply delivery pressures. The steel tank is widely popular; it is either pressurised or atmospheric.

In addition, fire water tanks can bunker in your basement or be buried underground. Pressurising the tank and/or operating a pump station facilitate delivery. Various wooden vessels are also available, normally on an older building’s roof. There are also several concrete storage tanks, and most are installed during building construction.

Metal and concrete tanks are more suitable for use as fire-fighting tanks. However, polyethylene tanks are believed to be another water source if they have fire protection approval. Tanks for firefighting mainly have bigger outlets than tanks for household or garden use.

In 2012 New Australian Standards (AS) for fire fighting tanks were implemented. Therefore fire-fighting tank manufacturers should follow these standards. For instance, they should confirm to (AS) 2304-2011.

Some of these requirements are:

• Fire fighting tanks should have special liners
• The tank fittings should not be plastic but metal
• Underground tanks need an access hole of a minimum of 200 mm. It enables a tanker to refill directly from the tank.
