Galvanised steel tanks in the Black Country

The Black Country still makes things, and industry uses water. For a works, yard or depot that needs a lot of it on hand, we put up lined tanks of bolted galvanised steel on a slab your contractor pours, and have them filled and working within days.

Above ground, away from the old workings

Digging on a Black Country site often means made ground, contamination and the chance of meeting an old shaft. An above-ground tank needs only a slab beneath it, which is a strong reason to choose one here.

It also keeps the storage where it can be seen and maintained, and bolted panels can be taken down and put back up if the works moves or expands.

Who uses them here

The demand is industrial first, with some agricultural work on the fringe.

  • Metal finishing and engineering works needing process or recycled water
  • Foundries and fabrication shops with cooling or wash water
  • Recycling, waste transfer and scrap yards for wash-down and dust suppression
  • Bus, haulage and plant depots washing vehicles
  • Nurseries and farms beyond the towns for irrigation

How a tank goes up

Your contractor casts the pad to take the tank's full load. Once it has cured we check it for level and set out the circle, then the steel sheets are bolted on, one tier above the next, to the height the volume needs.

Water is held by a liner hung inside the steel, not by the bolted shell, so a joint in the steel never becomes a leak. Pipework connections, the overflow and the level gauge come through the liner with sealed fittings. We then fill the tank a stage at a time and watch it under load before it is signed over.

Working in a live yard

Industrial sites rarely stop for us. We agree a fenced assembly area, work around forklift and lorry routes, and keep deliveries to times the yard can handle.

Many Black Country firms run night shifts or weekend production, so we can start early, keep noisy work to agreed hours, and leave the yard clear and safe at the end of each day.

Choosing the spot on a crowded site

Yards in Tipton, Wednesbury or Willenhall rarely have spare ground. The tank needs a pad clear of old shafts and soft fill, room around it for inspection, and a route for the pipework to the process or the wash bay. We look at those with you early, because moving a slab later costs far more than siting it well.

Frequently asked questions

A buried tank suits surface water attenuation, and we install those too. For water you draw on every day, a tank above ground is easier to reach, inspect and extend, and it avoids digging into made ground.

One sized for the tank brimful. We give the requirement for your volume before ordering, and your contractor builds to it.

Yes, within what the liner is specified for. Let us know what's dissolved or suspended in it, and we'll pick a liner suited to that.

No. We fit the tank's own connections, overflow and level gauge. Pumps, filters and treatment kit come from your process or mechanical contractor, who connects to the flanges we leave.
