About Galvanised Steel Tank
Galvanised Tanks: Cost-Effective and Reliable Liquid Storage Solutions
Galvanised tanks offer an affordable and efficient method for storing a wide variety of liquids. They are commonly utilized for storing oil and gas, firefighting water, industrial fluids, drinking water, and wastewater. JSW's galvanised steel tanks stand out not only for their impressive strength but also for their corrosion resistance, environmental friendliness, durability, and lightweight design. The galvanising process forms a zinc-iron alloy coating on the steel surface, which acts as a protective barrier against moisture and rust. This layer also enhances adhesion and resistance to abrasion, providing superior protection from harsh environmental conditions. These qualities make JSW's galvanised corrugated sheets, marketed under the brand JSW VISHWAS, highly popular in the industry.
Tank Specifications and Construction
Standard tanks are cylindrical, constructed using galvanised steel sheets measuring 2.9 meters in length and 1.14 meters in height. Sheet thickness ranges between 1.5 mm and 3 mm, depending on the tank's overall size. Tank diameters vary from 3 meters up to 31 meters, with corresponding heights adjusted to accommodate volumes ranging from 9 cubic meters to over 5,000 cubic meters.
The tanks are manufactured from mill-galvanised steel and undergo a hot-dip galvanising process that deposits a zinc coating of 450 gsm for enhanced protection. On-site assembly involves using lap joints secured with galvanised silo bolts. The tank shell is anchored to a concrete base via pre-rolled galvanised angles, clamps, and parabolts, while a stiffening angle reinforces the tank's top edge. Each tank includes a roof cover, a galvanised access ladder and platform, as well as inlet and outlet connections.
Innovative Liners for Safe Storage
Water Tank India integrates a specialized geomembrane liner inside every tank to prevent direct contact between the stored liquid and the steel structure. The standard liner is certified safe for drinking water and can also accommodate various other liquids. For storing fuels, industrial fluids, and chemicals, custom liners are available upon consultation with the sales team. These liners are manufactured using high-frequency welding techniques to ensure seamless joints and water tightness. Additionally, the liners are UV-resistant and inhibit the growth of algae, mold, and fungi, ensuring clean and hygienic storage.
Monitoring and Accessories
Every Water Tank India system includes a standard external level meter to monitor liquid levels. Optional digital and manual pulley-type meters can be provided on request for enhanced measurement accuracy.

FAQ's of Galvanised Steel Tank:
Q: How is the installation of the galvanised steel tank carried out?
A: The installation process depends on your selection of above ground or underground placement. Our tanks are delivered ready for installation, and the site should be prepared to support the tank's weight. Custom inlet and outlet sizes are provided according to your requirements. Professional installation is recommended to ensure longevity and leak-proof performance.
Q: What benefits does hot dip galvanised coating offer?
A: Hot dip galvanised coating provides a strong barrier against corrosion and rust, enhancing the tank's durability and ensuring leak-proof, long-term water storage. This protective surface is ideal for use in various environments, from industrial to agricultural or domestic settings.
Q: When should a flat or conical bottom be chosen?
A: A flat bottom is suitable for standard water storage, especially when frequent relocation is unnecessary. A conical bottom facilitates complete drainage, making it optimal for applications requiring regular cleaning or total emptying of the tank, such as certain industrial or agricultural uses.
Q: Where can these tanks be used effectively?
A: These galvanised steel tanks are engineered for versatility and can be used in factories, on farms, and in domestic settings for water storage. They're suitable for both above ground and underground installation, ensuring adaptability to different site conditions.
Q: What is the maintenance process for these tanks?
A: The tanks require minimal maintenance thanks to their rust-resistant galvanised finish. Routine checks for debris or sediment build-up and occasional external cleaning are sufficient for optimal performance. No specialized treatment is needed, ensuring an easy upkeep schedule.
Q: How do I specify the right size and capacity for my needs?
A: Capacity and dimensions can be tailored during the order process. Our team will assist you in selecting the volume, wall thickness, dimensions, and inlet/outlet sizes based on your storage needs and site specifications, ensuring a perfect fit for your requirements.
