Water Tanks for Construction Sites

Construction sites rarely have the water supply they need on tap. You need storage that arrives fast, works where there is no mains connection, and moves with the programme as the site changes. Franklin Hodge supplies construction site water tanks and temporary water storage across the UK and internationally, from short-term site supply through to permanent tanks handed over with the finished building. 

Why Construction Sites Need On-Site Water Storage 

Water on a construction site is rarely simple. Early phases often have no mains connection; welfare and dust suppression need a steady supply, and fire cover must be in place well before handover. On-site storage solves all of that with a reserve you control, independent of an incomplete network. It keeps the programme moving when supply would otherwise hold up groundworks, concrete pours or commissioning, and it scales as the project grows. Main contractors, groundworkers and M&E teams all benefit from having the water where the work is.

Temporary Water Tanks for Construction Sites 

For short-term and phased needs, our Liquidrum® tanks are built for exactly this. They arrive in kit form as prefabricated parts, assemble with standard hand tools, and install on simple soil or sand foundations, so you can stand up storage quickly and relocate it as the site develops. Built from galvanised steel with a proven liner and available up to 4.58 metres high, they hold serious volume without a permanent installation. Our temporary and emergency water storage range covers the full specification. 

Fire Water Storage During Construction 

Fire cover is often required on site long before the building is complete, and insurers expect stored water that meets recognised standards. Our fire water storage tanks act as pump suction tanks for sprinkler and hydrant systems and carry LPCB and FM Global approval. Temporary or permanent, we can put the required volume in place to keep the site compliant through every phase of the build. 

Process and Site Water Storage on Construction Projects 

Beyond welfare and fire, sites need water for dust suppression, wash-down, wheel washing and general process use. Our tanks store process and site water in the volumes large projects get through, feeding the plant and equipment that keep work moving. Where run-off or waste liquids need holding, we can specify a suitable tank for that too, so all your site’s water storage comes from one supplier rather than several. 

Sizing and Specifying Your Construction Site Water Tank 

The right tank depends on how much water you use, how long you need it, and whether it stays or moves. Our engineers size each solution to your programme rather than a standard figure, and we build bespoke water tanks where a site needs an unusual shape or capacity. Get an early estimate with our tank capacity calculator, then talk it through with our team to confirm the specification against your site plan.
