Reliable water storage is essential wherever supply is intermittent, demand peaks during the day, or water comes from a borehole or rainwater harvesting. Octopus Consultancy designs and builds water tanks for domestic, institutional, industrial and community use.
Types of tanks we build
Field-erected steel tanks
Vertical steel tanks assembled on site are a versatile solution for potable water storage, process water, wastewater, fire-fighting reserves and other industrial needs. Because they are built on site, they are ideal where:
- the tank is too large to transport in one piece;
- access is restricted or cranes are not permitted; or
- the site is remote.
Tank installation
Installation of storage tanks on properly prepared bases or elevated towers, connected to your borehole or supply.
Our process
- Needs assessment. We work out your water demand and storage requirement.
- Design. We select the tank type, size and materials, and design the foundation.
- Construction. We build the base and construct or install the tank, with inlet, outlet, overflow and drain pipework.
- Testing. We fill and leak-test the tank before handover.
- Handover. We explain how to operate, clean and maintain the tank.
Quality and safety
Every tank we build is designed for its load and its contents, built on a properly engineered foundation, and fitted with secure covers to keep potable water clean. Our teams follow safe working practices on every site.
