Fire water storage
VOX Fire Heidelberg — 1,008 kL Fire Reserve
Heidelberg, Gauteng
Client
Vox Fire
Capacity
2 × 504 kL (1,008 kL total)
Tank type
Cylindrical Aluzinc steel tanks
Standards
ASIB fire water specification · AWWA D103-97
Project Overview
Two 504 kL cylindrical Aluzinc steel tanks supplied and installed to hold 1,008 kL of emergency fire water for an industrial client.
The Challenge
An industrial site needed more than a million litres of fire water, with the reserve available in stages as the sprinkler installation progressed.
Our Solution
Two 504 kL Aluzinc tanks were delivered and erected one after the other, so the first tank could be filled and tested while the second was still being built.
Scope of Work
- Fire reserve sizing and tank selection
- Staged manufacture and delivery
- Erection, levelling and leak testing
- Pump and sprinkler connection
The Result
1,008 kL of fire water storage in service, commissioned without holding up the sprinkler contractor.
Need Something Similar in the Eastern Cape?
This project was completed with our steel tank manufacturing partner, Videx, and published with their permission. We deliver the same engineering, manufacturing and installation standard for commercial, industrial, farming and residential water storage across Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), Kariega (Uitenhage), Jeffreys Bay, East London and the wider Eastern Cape — plus temporary water bladder rentals while a tank is being built or repaired.
