Water Tank
Residential water tanks and overhead water tanks are very crucial since
the people can obtain an uninterrupted 24 x 7 hours water supply for
drinking, cooking, gardening, car washing, and washing clothes in
residential homes and multi storied apartments. Concrete water tanks are
robust and long-lasting and come in different types of shapes like
rectangular and circular.
The main ingredients of concrete water tank construction are reinforced
cement concrete, ferrocement, geopiers or other suitable materials which
have the strength to resist both the load of the water and tank as well
as the uplift forces as a result of overturning.
The design of concrete water storage tank is created on the basis of IS
3370: 2009 (Parts I – IV). The design varies on the location of tanks,
i.e. overhead, on ground or underground water tanks.
