Project Overview
A cylindrical Aluzinc steel tank installed in a tight service yard, adding 103 kL of backup water storage in a compact circular footprint.
The Challenge
An established shopping centre wanted backup water storage, but the only space available was a busy service yard used daily for deliveries.
Our Solution
A single cylindrical Aluzinc tank was sized to the smallest workable diameter and erected in panels inside the yard, keeping delivery access open during the build.
Scope of Work
- Site survey and footprint optimisation
- Cylindrical Aluzinc tank manufacture
- On-site erection in a live service yard
- Connection to the centre's water reticulation
The Result
103.17 kL of backup water storage added to a trading centre without disrupting deliveries or parking.
