Water storage for firefighting

Fire tanks are specialised water storage systems designed to provide a reliable and accessible water supply for firefighting purposes. Typically installed at industrial sites, commercial properties, and remote and residential areas, fire tanks can be equipped with pumps and hoses to deliver water quickly in the event of an emergency. These tanks are usually built to comply with local fire safety regulations and are often located in areas where water pressure may be insufficient or unreliable. The use of a filtration system can be added to filter out any contaminants due to runoff or heavy rainfall to ensure the water remains safe for use in firefighting.   

An alternative use can be the collection of the effects from firefighting in certain industries, with the tanks collecting the run-off for managed removal by a waste management company.   

Customisation & value engineering

Each site is unique – ViaCon’s fully customisable offering allows for a best-fit solution (e.g., diameter, lengths). The combination of several offerings into one system, such as retention, infiltration and carrier piping, allows for cost-effective solutions (e.g., reducing space requirements and manholes). 

Cost advantages

Take advantage of total cost advantage versus competing materials, such as plastics and concrete for larger projects subject to loads, water contamination, and space constraints. 

Supporting sustainability goals

Up to 70% reduced CO2e footprint when compared to similar solutions made of other materials. Steel is also environmentally friendly as it is 100% reusable.

Time-saving installations with easy maintenance access

Experience up to 80% faster installation, paired with simple maintenance through standard manholes—making our solution a practical, cost-effective, and sustainable choice for stormwater management.
