Galvanised Steel Tanks are a popular choice for various water storage needs in the K. in this comprehensive guide, we will provide you with detailed information about what galvanised steel tanks are, where they can be used, the installation process, and the benefits of having galvanised steel sectional tanks. Let's dive in! Galvanised steel water tanks provide an economical solution for storing water and various other liquids.

Although galvanised tanks are more durable than other materials, and will maintain their structural integrity for years to come, several factors can affect their lifespan. These include the geographical location of the tank and the use of the tank. Kolorbond K2 has many options to provide a truly bespoke painted finish for your galvanised steel. There are 2,400 colour options in RAL, NCS, and British Standard ranges to choose from, as well as the Steritouch range on request, and is supplied in smooth or textured with a matt, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss finish. Galvanised steel water tanks are tough, reliable and long-lasting. They are finished with a galvanised coating to prevent rust and corrosion. Rust-Oleum are one of the world’s most recognised, renowned, and trusted brands in coatings, and with Hard Hat 2185/1085 Galva Zinc you’ll find a high zinc content coating that provides superior protection and durability for metals exposed to the elements or adverse artificial conditions. It can be used as a primer or as a single coat in light industrial exposures, corrosive environments, and high humidity areas. Greenseal EPDM Irrigation Tank Lining Material 0.75 mm1.00 mm is a flexible robust material with excellent cutthrough, abrasion and UV resistance. EPDM offers a strong and more cost-efficient option than Butyl.

The installation of galvanised steel tanks requires professional expertise to ensure proper functioning and longevity. Here are the key steps involved in the installation process:

If there are any areas of bare galvanised metal, then these should initially be primed with Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3. We would then recommend applying 2-3 coats of Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Satin Water Based via brush, roller or airless spray, aiming for a coverage rate of 10m²/L/coat – allowing a minimum of 1 hour between coats (in good warm, well ventilated conditions).Bushmans has a range of galvanised water tank solutions to suit your needs. Whether you need a tank for water, storm water, fertiliser, molasses or chemicals, Bushmans has a steel tank for your situation. Weathering– takes a considerable amount of time, often ruling it out from most construction projects. Leaving galvanised surfaces exposed for at least 6 months, ideally 12+, allows contaminants to be removed by rain, wind, UV light, and changes in temperature. You can then prepare with abrasive pads and brushes to remove loose and flaking materials before a hot wash with detergent. This should not, however, be considered where chloride levels are high, such as marine environments. Aqualine steel tanks are available in Sydney and regional NSW, Melbourne and regional VIC, Brisbane and regional QLD, Adelaide and regional SA and Canberra/ACT for competitive prices. In our experience it could be that the existing coating is no longer providing adequate protection i.e. is in need of maintenance due to age or perhaps more commonly is not well adhered to the galvanising in the first place due to incorrect specification. Either way the basic principle here is the same; Commercial and government organisations such as schools, universities, local governments, commercial buildings and industrial customers can also benefit from the use of rainwater harvesting with an Aqualine steel water tank.
