Temporary and Emergency Water Storage Tanks
The Liquidrum® tank from Franklin Hodge is a convenient and cost-effective solution for temporary or emergency water storage, particularly in remote or hard-to-reach locations. Its lightweight design and easy installation make it a practical choice for quick and efficient water storage.
Lined Concrete Tank
We offer a specialised service designed to transform existing concrete tanks into efficient and durable liquid storage solutions. By installing a high-quality waterproof lining within the tank, we ensure it is fully sealed. This lining not only provides a robust barrier against leaks but also enhances the tank’s reliability and longevity.
Galvanised Tritainer®
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.

8Are Franklin Hodge tanks Factory Mutual approved?
Yes, Franklin Hodge tanks have received Factory Mutual approval. For further details, check the Factory Mutual Approval Guide.
9Are Franklin Hodge tanks Loss Prevention Certification Board approved?
Yes, Franklin Hodge tanks are Loss Prevention Certification Board approved. For more detailed information, visit LPCB’s official site.
10Can 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.
11I 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.
