Large Water Tanks

When high-volume water storage is essential, large water tanks provide a dependable and efficient solution. At Franklin Hodge, we design and manufacture site-assembled steel tanks that combine impressive capacity with long-term reliability. 

Our large water tanks are engineered for a variety of applications, from fire protection systems and potable water storage to industrial process use. Each tank is built to your exact specification, ensuring safe, compliant, and efficient water storage on any site. 

How Are Large Water Tanks Designed and Constructed?

Every Franklin Hodge large water tank is built using modular panels made from galvanised or stainless steel, which are assembled and bolted together on-site. An internal butyl rubber or EPDM liner forms a complete waterproof barrier, preventing corrosion and protecting stored water from contamination. 

Because of this modular approach, our tanks can be constructed in areas with limited access or unusual layouts. The system is scalable, so tanks can be extended, relocated, or modified to suit future requirements, making them a cost-effective long-term investment. 

What Makes Large Water Tanks Ideal for Commercial and Industrial Use? 

Large water tanks are a practical choice for sites where performance, reliability, and storage volume are key. 

They are suitable for a wide range of applications, including: 

• Fire Protection: Providing water reserves for fire sprinkler and hydrant systems. 
• Potable Water Supply: Safe, WRAS-approved storage for drinking water and domestic systems. 
• Industrial Processing: Supporting cooling, washing, and manufacturing operations. 
• Agricultural and Irrigation Systems: Storing water for crop production and livestock use. 

Our tanks can be installed either above or below ground, depending on site conditions, and are designed to deliver years of dependable performance with minimal maintenance. 

What Features Ensure Long-Term Durability? 

Franklin Hodge large water tanks are engineered to withstand the demands of continuous operation. 

Each component is produced to recognise British and international standards, ensuring a robust and lasting finish. 

Key features include: 

• Corrosion Resistance: Hot-dip galvanised panels to BS EN ISO 1461 for lasting protection. 
• Flexible Liners: WRAS-approved materials suitable for both potable and non-potable water. 
• Low Maintenance: The sealed liner system prevents corrosion, reducing upkeep requirements. 
• Scalable Capacity: Tank sizes can range from small commercial units to multi-thousand-cubic-metre installations. 

This combination of quality materials and precision engineering ensures your storage system continues to perform efficiently for decades.
