Liquistore® / Firestore®

Your long-lasting, low-maintenance water storage solution. Available in galvanised steel and aluminium.

Galvanised Steel and Aluminium Liquistore®

Our Liquistore® tank is a proven and durable design, available in a wide range of diameters, heights and capacities, to suit the requirements of your site and project. Liquistore® tanks are available in either a corrosion resistant marine-alloy of aluminium or a high-grade galvanised steel, with a tailor-made internal liner. The aluminium Liquistore® is a cost-effective water storage solution for challenging conditions. For example, on sites in coastal or marine-tropical environments. Liquistore® tanks can also be designed for sites subject to high wind speeds and seismic load conditions.

Galvanised Firestore®

Galvanised Firestore® tanks are site assembled using high-grade galvanised steel panels. They are a proven, robust and cost-effective solution for the storage of fire sprinkler and general fire protection water. Firestore® tanks are designed for ease of installation and low maintenance. A range of diameters, heights and capacities are available to suit individual project requirements. Durability and longevity are provided by the galvanised steel shell, which gives excellent overall corrosion protection. A tailor-made liner is fitted within the tank, which reduces corrosion of the tank interior. Galvanised Firestore® tanks can be designed for high wind speed and seismic load conditions.

Liquitainer®/Firetainer®

Your versatile, flexible, long lasting and low maintenance water storage solution.

Galvanised Liquitainer® /Firetainer®

Our galvanised Liquitainer® / Firetainer® tank is a site assembled sectional tank that is ideal for situations where water storage capacity is needed and the space available is restricted, or a complex shape.

We can provide you with tailor-made layouts for an enclosed loft, open roof space or basement, for example.

Standard square or rectangular layouts can also be provided. Firetainer® tanks are approved by the LPCB for the storage of fire sprinkler water and offer unique design benefits for sprinkler and mechanical systems design engineers. Maximum economic use can be made of the space available in a building or facility.

Liquitainer®/Firetainer® tanks are available in a range of heights, up to 5.35m, which exceeds that of other comparable systems.

Residential Fire Protection Tanks

Providing fire water storage for fire protection systems in residential or multi-occupancy buildings can be a challenge. Even though residential sprinkler systems typically require a smaller amount of stored water, compared to fire protection systems for commercial or industrial buildings, space for fitting water storage tanks is often limited.

Franklin Hodge can help you overcome these challenges with a scaled-down version of our LPCB approved Firetainer® tank, developed specifically for use with residential sprinkler systems.

This version of our Firetainer® tank is designed in accordance with BS 9251:2001; Fire Sprinkler Systems for Domestic and Residential Occupancies, Code of Practice. Our experienced team can provide you with a tailor-made layout to suit the area available. For example, in an enclosed loft, open roof space or basement.

Galvanised Tritainer®

Your cost-effective, space-saving water storage solution.

Our Tritainer® tanks are constructed using triangular-shaped galvanised steel panels, which form 1.0m² modules that are bolted together on-site, allowing for quick assembly into a rectangular tank.

These tanks are designed to fit into tight or challenging spaces. Inside, a custom-made, hot vulcanised membrane liner is installed. Tanks can be built to any length and width, with a maximum height of 2.575m.

FAQs

1Can water for sprinkler systems be stored in Franklin Hodge tanks?

Yes, Franklin Hodge tanks are specifically designed to act as pump suction tanks for fire sprinkler systems, ensuring reliable water storage for firefighting needs.

2Can water for hydrant systems be stored in Franklin Hodge tanks?

Yes, Franklin Hodge tanks can be utilised for general firefighting water storage, including effective storage solutions for hydrant systems.

3Can Franklin Hodge offer rectangular tanks?

Yes, Franklin Hodge offers rectangular tanks, featuring our Liquitainer® and Firetainer® brands.

4Can Franklin Hodge offer sectional tanks?

Yes, Franklin Hodge can offer sectional tanks. See Liquitainer®/Firetainer® range.

5Can you remove sand or other objects from a sprinkler tank without emptying the water?

Yes, you can remove sand or other objects from a sprinkler tank without emptying the water. Anything obstructing the outlet valve can restrict or reduce the water flow to where it is needed. Draining the tank is not necessary, as we use a specialised vacuum system to extract silt. Additionally, our remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is equipped with an arm grabber to retrieve larger objects such as gloves, spanners, and other debris.

6I need to reduce the footprint of a tank storing water for a fire sprinkler system. How can you help?

The Firetainer® sectional site-assembled tank is designed to fit into restricted or irregularly shaped spaces. It can be built up to 5.35m high, offering a unique space-saving solution that no other sectional tank system can provide.
