Choosing the right underground tank based on the application

Underground tanks play a crucial role in various applications. They are used for buffering and storing different types of liquids. For example, underground tanks are the ideal solution for storing rainwater for reuse or infiltration, or for storing fire-fighting water. In addition, underground tanks are often the most efficient choice for collecting contaminated liquids.

The choice of tank type depends on the liquid to be stored:

1. Water storage: galvanized Tubao tanks

For rainwater storage or water buffering, a galvanized Tubao tank the most efficient choice. This system offers numerous advantages:

  • Custom-made for every project
  • Fast and simple installation: with good preparation, the tanks are placed directly from the truck into the trench and connected
  • Suitable for various applications:
    • Rainwater harvesting and reuse
    • Buffering and delayed discharge of rainwater
    • firewater reservoir
    • Underground passage and canalization

An exception to this is the placement in contaminated soil. In that case, a HDPE tank recommended due to the chemical resistance of the material.

  • High chemical resistance
  • Sustainability and leak-proof design
  • Suitability for environmentally critical applications

Weholite tanks are used for:

  • Collection, buffering and discharge of wastewater
  • Storage of drinking water and other liquids for human consumption
  • Storage of aggressive liquids in agriculture and industry
  • Storage of liquids under pressure

Double-walled HDPE tanks are the appropriate solution for the storage of environmentally critical substances such as acids and hazardous chemicals. These double-walled tanks are Vlarem-approved and equipped with built-in leak detection.
