What is Corrugated Steel Water Tank?
The circular corrugated sectional metal steel water tank has two types according to raw material.
One is galvanized steel water tank (Z275 and G90 standard:275 g/m²).
One is zincalume steel water tank.(We take ZMA275 standard with its higher aluminium content, typically has same strength and corrosion resistance compared to Bluescope zinc alumnimium)
Above two water tanks are called water silos which is a cheaper option for water storing.Due to less metal parts with same capacity, it has the advantage of less price and easier installation.The tank is assembled by two main parts combined corrugated sheet for wall and food-grade tarpaulin or PVC inside for loading water.
The cylindrical corrugated metal steel water tank has a lifespan over 20 years which is an more economical, efficient and safer large water storage tank. It is suitable for all kinds of irrigation and domestic water and potable water tank, such as greenhouse irrigation, greenhouse rainwater collecting, temporary water storage at construction sites etc.
Zinc-Aluminum Water Tank VS Corrugated Galvanized Steel (CGS) Water Tank
- Zinc-Aluminum Tanks: These are made from an alloy that combines zinc and aluminum. They are known for their exceptional resistance to corrosion and longer lifespan, as aluminum creates a protective oxide layer, and zinc prevents rust.
- Pros: Excellent corrosion resistance, lightweight, and durable.
- Cons: Might be more expensive upfront compared to CGS.
- Corrugated Galvanized Steel Tanks: These are made from steel coated with a layer of zinc to prevent rust. The corrugation adds structural strength.
- Pros: Strong structural integrity, affordable, and widely available.
- Cons: Zinc coating can wear off over time, leading to rust and reduced lifespan in harsh conditions.
- Zinc-Aluminum: Superior corrosion resistance due to the combination of zinc and aluminum. Performs better in humid, salty, or aggressive environments.
- CGS: Good corrosion resistance initially, but the zinc coating can degrade, especially if the tank is scratched, exposing the steel to rust.
- Zinc-Aluminum: Generally more expensive due to its advanced alloy composition and better longevity.
- CGS: More affordable, making it a cost-effective option for short- to medium-term use.
- Zinc-Aluminum: Requires less maintenance because of its excellent resistance to rust and corrosion.
- CGS: Needs periodic inspections and maintenance, especially in environments where the zinc coating might deteriorate.
Zinc-Aluminum: Sleeker and modern appearance, often used in settings requiring a visually appealing option.
CGS: Has a more industrial look due to the corrugation and is better suited for rural or rugged environments.
Corrugated zinc aluminium sheet surface looks smoother.
Advantages of Corrugated Steel Water Tank
1. Durability & Strength – Corrugated steel tanks are highly durable, with strong resistance to external impacts, harsh weather conditions, and seismic activities.
2. Corrosion Resistance – Galvanized or coated steel options provide excellent resistance against rust and corrosion, extending the tank’s lifespan.
3. Large Storage Capacity – Available in various sizes, these tanks can store large volumes of water, making them ideal for industrial and agricultural applications.
4. Modular & Easy Installation – Pre-fabricated components allow for quick and cost-effective assembly on-site, reducing installation time and labor costs.
5. Cost-Effective – Compared to concrete or fiberglass tanks, corrugated steel tanks provide a long lifespan with lower maintenance costs.
6. Eco-Friendly – Many corrugated steel tanks are made from recyclable materials, making them a sustainable choice.
7. Customizable – They can be tailored to specific needs with liners, coatings, and additional features such as roofs or insulation.
8. Seismic Stability – Corrugated steel water tanks are designed to withstand seismic forces, making them an ideal choice for regions prone to earthquakes. Their flexibility and structural integrity allow them to absorb and dissipate energy, minimizing the risk of damage during seismic events.
Corrugated Steel Water Tank Type
Steel Dome Roof Water Tank (Two types of roof designs):
Designed with a fully enclosed steel dome roof to prevent contaminants from entering. Ideal for potable water storage, agricultural irrigation, and industrial applications.
