Easy-to-assemble water storage tanks

Circotanks are manufactured from cold-rolled, galvanised steel plates

The Circotank storage system – launched by Structa Technology during the first national lockdown last year – is a robust and economical solution to water storage.

M

anufactured from a cold-rolled, galvanised steel plate, which is stiffened with an antibuckling profile in a secondary rolling process, Circotanks are assembled on-site. A PVC liner is also installed to ensure a watertight structure. Within the product line, there is a midi range (tanks with a 1 000 ℓ to 20 000 ℓ capacity) and a maxi range (tanks with a 100 000 ℓ to 1 500 000 ℓ capacity).

The maxi range has found application in bulk water storage, such as the supply of water to process plants, fire tanks and potable water to villages. This range utilises a concrete ring-beam foundation and is constructed in circular segments on-site. No cranes are used, and it thus offers an economical solution in terms of both building speed and ease of transport. Smaller midi tanks have found successful application in

rural water schemes, as well as water storage at schools and clinics. The 10 000 ℓ tanks are popular products since these are built on top of elevated stands – again eliminating the use of cranes. Structa supplies both tank and stand, while offering a site construction service. Circotanks are manufactured in the Structa facility in Meyerton, Gauteng, and are shipped and erected across South Africa.
