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.
