Doing the Fire Protection Storage Tank, the Right Way
Fire protection, storage water tanks have been improving for the past few years as technology advances, and standards have become stricter, the process is evolving, resulting in increased durability, flexibility, and lower costs. Modern fire protection, storage reservoir has three common designs; welded steel tanks, bolted steel, and concrete. For projects more than 80,000 gallons of water storage, concrete is used because of its high setup cost of the equipment that is needed on the job. Concrete reservoirs are less expensive compared to other container designs. Fire protection storage tank can provide a broader capacity from 25,000 to 3,500,000 gallons of water. Not only that, welded steel storage reservoir has different variation including standpipe water containers and reservoir style storage. For some applications, smooth exteriors of welded steel storage are preferred by most customers.
Out of the three types of storage systems, the bolted steel can provide the best longevity, flexibility and is cost-efficient. Bolted steel reservoir can provide a larger range when it comes to sizes because it can cover from 5,000 to 3,500,000 gallons of water. For most projects, storage is required to carry from 25,000 to 250,000 gallons of water, which are very suited for a bolted steel tank. Bolted steel storages are commonly used in existing structures to provide adequate water storage in remote areas. For example, if there’s a new structure built and it requires a lot of water for fire protection, companies can easily install a bolted steel storage even in areas with small … READ MORE >>>
