Durability & Long Lifespan

These tanks are built from hot-dip galvanized corrugated steel or zinc aluminium steel, providing outstanding resistance to corrosion, rust, and UV exposure.
This makes them especially suitable for:

Outdoor farm fields exposed to sun and rain.

Coastal aquaculture sites where salt-laden air and moisture can damage unprotected tanks.
With a life expectancy of 20+ years, they offer a long-term, worry-free water storage solution.

High Storage Capacity for Water-Demanding Operations

Capacities range from 10,000 liters to over 1,000,000 liters, making them ideal for:

Large-scale irrigation systems that require a constant water supply during dry seasons.

Shrimp, fish, or shellfish farms, where large volumes of clean water are essential for healthy growth and maintaining stable water quality.

Tanks can be installed near greenhouses, open fields, or aquaculture ponds as a primary or backup water source.

Modular Design & Easy Installation

Corrugated tanks are designed for easy on-site assembly using bolt-together panels—no welding or heavy equipment is needed.
This is perfect for:

Remote farms or fishery locations where transporting full-size tanks or building concrete reservoirs is difficult.

Farms that require temporary or seasonal water tanks—they can be disassembled and relocated when needed.

Cost-Effective Solution for Rural or Coastal Areas

Compared to concrete or plastic alternatives, corrugated steel tanks offer:

Lower long-term maintenance costs, especially when used with liners.

Easier transport and handling, reducing logistics costs for inland farms or island-based aquaculture operations.

Minimal site preparation—basic gravel foundations are often sufficient.

Safe & Hygienic Storage with Liner Systems

When used for aquaculture or irrigation of edible crops, water hygiene is critical. These tanks can be equipped with:

Food-grade PE, PVC, or TPU liners to protect water from metal contact.

Sealed roofs or anti-algae covers to prevent contamination from debris, dust, or animals. This ensures clean, fish-safe or plant-safe water at all times.

Versatile Agricultural Applications

One tank — many uses. Galvanized or zincalume corrugated steel tanks are suitable for a wide range of farming operations, including:

Drip or sprinkler irrigation
Efficient water delivery systems for vegetable farms, fruit orchards, greenhouses, and grain fields.

Rainwater harvesting systems
Collect and store rainwater for later use, reducing dependency on municipal or groundwater sources.

Livestock watering
Provide clean, reliable water supply for cattle, poultry, pigs, goats, and other farm animals. Lined tanks ensure hygiene and prevent contamination.

Fish farming / Aquaculture
Ideal for shrimp, tilapia, catfish, or shellfish farming, with the option of food-grade liners to maintain water quality and fish health.

Aquaculture water recirculation
Serve as storage for filtered or treated recirculating water systems, especially for inland RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture Systems).

Brackish water or treated seawater storage
For aquaculture species requiring specific salinity levels, especially in coastal fish farms.

Seafood processing water storage
Used in seafood factories or farms for cleaning, rinsing, and processing steps where water purity is essential.

Emergency water supply
Backup water storage during droughts, seasonal shortages, or unexpected supply cuts.

Strong Structural Stability in Harsh Environments

Corrugated steel panels are engineered for strength, allowing them to:

Withstand high internal pressure when tanks are full.

Resist strong winds on open farmland or coastal aquaculture bases.

Maintain stability even in seismic or high-moisture ground conditions.

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Choice

Compatible with solar-powered pump systems for eco-farming.

Helps conserve natural resources by maximizing rainwater collection and reuse.

Steel is 100% recyclable, aligning with modern green agriculture and aquaculture trends.
