Commercial Water Tanks
Complete Project Management
Pioneer Water Tanks offer a heavy-duty configurable water storage solution for even the most demanding projects.
Built from high-quality Zincalume® steel and engineered to specifications, our tanks are among the most durable in the industry.
This claim is backed by a competitive, per-project manufacturer’s warranty on the tank body, liner, and accessories where conditions are met.
We help with permitting
Commercial Pioneer Water Tanks are delivered to and built directly at the project site without the use of cranes, which reduces the overall project cost and allows for the most flexibility in adapting to the site’s installation requirements.
Pioneer’s Industrial Water Tanks are engineered for durability with increased roof trussing and tank wall reinforcement. Commercial water storage systems utilize the heavy-duty roof that is structurally designed to enable mounting of features such as vents, hatches, and or platforms.
The commercial Pioneer Water Tank system series can be configured to the application with accessory options. Our engineering packages work with local engineering consultants to provide for the permitting.
100,000 Gallon Water Storage Tank System
The 100,000-Gallon model of Pioneer Water Tank is a three stacked panel system with increased roof trussing and wall panel enforcement. Wall panel sheets are pre-curved for each tank size to achieve the required circumference. Tank walls are comprised of three stacked rings bolted together with reinforcement. An overflow outlet is placed in one upper wall panel to account for design seismic sloshing effects. The overflow outlet height varies by tank size.
The XLE 50/03 Pioneer Water Tank is designed in accordance with AS2304 “Water storage tanks for fire systems” which references AS1170-2 Structural design actions Part 2 – Wind actions.
The wind design parameters are:
- Importance level 2 (Normal Structures)
- 25-year design life (200-year recurrence interval)
- Region B
- Terrain Category 2
- Structure height < 5 metres (16.4ft)
- Topographical and shielding factors = 1.0
- Basic regional wind velocity = 51.8ms-1 (115.9mph)
- Resulting design pressure = 1.21kPa (25.3psf)
Design Seismic Loads
This tank is designed to withstand an effective seismic acceleration coefficient of up to 0.7 (refer Tables 2 & 3) and the seismic loads developed as per AS2304 which has the same methodology as AWWA D 103-97 “Factory Coated Bolted Steel Tanks for Water Storage”.
Design Roof Live or Snow Loads
Pioneer Water Tanks XLE-S series tanks are designed to withstand a maximum uniformly distributed live load or snow load of 1.0kPa (20psf) or a concentrated load of 1.4kN (300lbs) with the addition of internal and external columns and diagonal truss bracing.
Roof support structures (trusses) are designed to accommodate maintenance and construction footfalls in the vicinity of the roof trusses. Roof activity shall be limited to installation and/or maintenance purposes. Roof structures shall not be altered or re-roofed without professional engineering
advice.
