It’s easy to underestimate just how much water needs to be stored on industrial, hospitality, and retail sites to keep up with demand.
From supplying sprinkler systems and fire hydrants the right solution doesn’t just hold sufficient water but does so in a format that maximises the space available.
We don’t have to tell you how tight storage can be in commercial premises, with obstacles standing in the way of regular tanks and making it difficult to not just store but also assemble tanks. Businesses increasingly need to maximise the space available for their operations, pushing the boundaries when it comes to storage and making standardised tanks and units almost impossible to navigate.
Which is where fitted and custom-built tanks come in.
What is a Custom Fitted Tank?
A custom fitted tank is made with your premises and storage space in mind.
Following the guidelines and measurements of the available space on your premises, these fitted tanks are built to fit in and around the floorplan of your building. This means that they can be built to hold the water you need available, in a format and structure that works within the borders of your premises.
Where Are Fitted Tanks Installed?
Because fitted tanks are a necessity for a broad array of industries and markets, spanning retail businesses, hospitality premises, and industrial sites to name just a few, the installation briefs vary from one client to the next.
Some clients require water tanks that live inside their premises while others need something weather-proof that can withstand life outside.
One of the benefits of a fitted tank is that the exact location can be matched to the design of the tank, both with regards to its shape and size, and its material build. This means that, no matter where the tank is designed to fit, water storage becomes a part of the layout of the room rather than an obstacle that gets in the way.
The Benefits of a Fitted Water Tank
We’ve already touched on the unique design of a fitted tank so that it fits the space available – be it inside or out.
But what are the benefits behind a fitted water tank, as opposed to relying on a simple mains water supply system?
Well, in most cases, having a fitted water tank allows for a consistent supply of water in the face of an issue with a regular mains supply. Whether it’s an industrial environment or a hospitality venue, having a built-in water supply allows for a backup of water should an issue affect the surrounding water systems.
For venues and business premises, it ensures that any issue regarding water supply doesn’t affect operations.
There are also cost-saving benefits to consider. With your own water supply, you don’t need to pay high water bills. And of course, leaning on your own supply of water rather than draining local resources has a significant benefit on the environment too.
