Hydrant Water Storage Options

Hydrant systems form the backbone of site-wide fire protection but only if they have a steady, pressurised water source. At Franklin Hodge, we supply hydrant water storage tanks that guarantee consistent performance in emergency situations. Every tank is designed to store, protect and deliver water exactly as your hydrant network requires, always ensuring readiness and compliance. 

Can Water for Hydrant Systems Be Stored in Franklin Hodge Tanks?

Yes, Franklin Hodge tanks provide secure and compliant storage for hydrant system water and other firefighting applications. They act as dependable reservoirs, supporting hydrants with the pressure and capacity needed for rapid response during fire incidents. 

Each tank is LPCB-certified and manufactured to meet Factory Mutual (FM) standards, demonstrating our commitment to safety, quality and regulatory compliance. Built with reinforced panels and protective liners, these tanks are engineered for performance in demanding environments, from large industrial facilities to local authority fire networks.

Tailored Hydrant Water Storage for Real-world Sites 

Every site faces different challenges, from space limitations to environmental exposure. Franklin Hodge offers a versatile range of hydrant water storage options to suit these varied requirements: 

• Liquistore® and Firestore®: heavy-duty, long-life tanks for large-scale installations. 
• Tritainer® modular systems: compact rectangular tanks ideal for space-restricted or retrofit projects. 
• Liquitainer® configurations: custom-built designs for complex layouts or irregular building footprints. 

All systems feature precision-manufactured steel or aluminium panels, corrosion-resistant linings and structural integrity proven under wind and seismic load conditions. 

Expert Guidance That Strengthens Your Fire Protection Plan 

Beyond manufacturing, Franklin Hodge provides valuable technical support for hydrant systems at every stage. Our in-house engineers assist with: 

• Sizing and specification for compliant hydrant storage volumes 
• CAD-based design layouts for optimal space and pipework integration 
• Maintenance planning to preserve performance and lifespan 

This consultative approach ensures your hydrant system isn’t just compliant, it’s engineered for long-term reliability and operational efficiency. 

Maintaining and Improving Existing Hydrant Water Tanks 

If you already have a hydrant storage tank on-site, our water tank survey and tank refurbishment services can help you protect that investment. We assess structural integrity, corrosion and liner condition, then provide detailed reports and repair recommendations. Refurbishment often restores tanks to full-service life without complete replacement, offering a cost-effective route to compliance.
