Very strong- The corrugations give a high strength to the material, relative to it’s thickness. Resistant to sunlight and will not deteriorate if exposed to sunlight for years. Environmentally friendly as they can be recycled at the end of their lives. Artisan made- each tank is handmade so customization is simple. Handmade which creates employment- which is one of two of South Africa’s greatest challenges: water scarcity & job creation. Can withstand soil movement better than a concrete reservoir. Corrugated steel reservoirs are commonly used in agriculture and mining as they offer a strong and simple solution to water storage. Panels curved to required radius and predrilled with vertical bolt holes. The liner is folded over the corrugated wall and secured by 5mm cable and turnbuckle. Alternatively the liner can be secured on the inside of the reservoir with a plastic strip and bolts. On larger diameters a central pole is used to keep the cover tight. The cover is secured to hooks on the corrugated wall with rope. The area underneath the tank needs to be stable, smooth and level (it need not be concrete). For larger tanks a concrete ring beam with a sand base is recommended. Once the corrugated ring is assembled 50mm of clean sand should be spread inside to provide a smooth surface for the liner. Delivery and assembly can be arranged from Cape Town and Johannesburg. The corrugated panels are bolted together and the PVC liner placed inside. Assembly can normally be completed in one day (excluding site preparation and levelling). In windy sites the reservoir can be damaged by wind when empty. Reservoirs should be filled immediately on completing assembly and should never be emptied completely.
