Water Tanks

Water Tanks
  • SCAFCO designs and manufactures water tank systems in 11 different diameters (6' to 36') and wall heights up to 14 feet, with capacities in excess of 100,000 gallons.
  • Our high-quality galvanized steel tank exteriors get the proven protection of hot-dipped zinc coating.
  • Water tanks have a flexible liner.
  • The liner is suspended inside the water tank, forming a watertight membrane.
  • This means that stored water never contacts the tank's steel surface.
  • Galvanized steel tank materials and construction minimize corrosion levels and the need for frequent maintenance.
Roof Ladder Systems
  • SCAFCO provides a complete roof ladder system with every water tank over 9' in diameter.
  • The roof ladder includes steel steps bolted to the roof for access to the center hatch cap.
  • Safety steps attach to every other roof panel around the peak, providing sure footing.
  • Optional sidewall.
Inspection Hatch
  • Standard on every SCAFCO water tank (12' (3.66m) and larger) is a man-sized inspection hatch at the eave.
  • This rain-tight hatch is factory-installed with a latch and is located on one of the.
Center Hatch Cap
  • SCAFCO's unique center hatch cap make visible inspection and inner access simple and easy.
  • Water tanks 6' through 24' in diameter have a handy 2' hatch; those 27' and larger have a 3'.
Galvanized Sidewall Staves
  • All steel tank components are hot- dipped in zinc for high corrosion resistance.
  • SCAFCO's unique 42 and 2/3" galvanized steel side-wall staves are pre-punched with a single-stroke operation, assuring accurate hole alignment.
  • Sheets are precision roll-formed from high-strength steel.

Great Roof Systems

  • SCAFCO roof panels provide outstanding load-carrying characteristics and weatherability.
  • Steel tank roofs bolt together rapidly at the jobsite. Each panel is securely attached to side-wall staves.
  • Optional roof dams to collect rain water are available.

Rapid Field Assembly

  • Using jacks enables water tank assembly at ground level.

Flexible Liners

  • The liner is suspended inside the water tank to form a water-tight membrane.
  • Water never contacts the tank's steel surface.

Heavy-Duty Anchor Systems

  • Contoured to match sheet corrugations, sturdy anchor clips secure bottom ring to foundation.
  • The anchor clips are designed to resist horizontal loads.
  • Seismic anchors are also available.

High-Strength Bolts

  • Every SCAFCO water tank is furnished with heat-treated SAE grade 8.2 (DIN 10.9) bolts.
  • All exposed bolts are coated with a patented protective system that lasts five times longer than conventional zinc-plating.
  • This process assures durability under harsh weather conditions.
  • Polyethylene washers seal roof and side-walls against moisture penetration.
