THE CHALLENGE | Burst Water tank

A burst water tank caused significant damage to Dewars Ice Rink in Perth, Scotland.

The company urgently needed expert consultants to assess the situation and recommend a suitable cold water tank replacement.

Additionally, a fast turnaround was essential due to water restrictions affecting their operations.

In July 2017, our client contacted our team for an emergency site visit.

We inspected the burst water tank at their leisure complex and identified immediate needs.

The project required manufacturing and installing a new cold water tank replacement for potable and non-potable water.

Meanwhile, the maintenance team provided temporary water services to keep the facility running.

However, the temporary supply limited their ability to operate at full capacity.

Therefore, a quick resolution was vital to restore full operations and prevent further damage.

GRP Water Storage Tank Solution

After conducting a site visit to access the situation our surveyor was able to advise the original water tank burst due to each side of the tank compartments servicing different parts of the building. Each compartment was emptying at different rates; therefore, the division walls integrity was comprised. Over time this weakened the division wall and caused the tank to burst.

The existing tank measured a 3.5 x 2 x 2 meters, we recommended a replacement sectional tank of 3.5 x 2 x 2 tank with a lengthways division and division outlets.

We recommended placing extra connections on both compartment sides of the divider so that the sides of the tank could service the full building without draining one side at a time which resulted in the integrity of the tank being compromised, resulting in the burst tank.

Specification of the tank included hot pressed GRP panels, internally flanged base with external flanged walls and standard insulation.

From our first enquiry from Live Active Ltd in mid-July we designed, manufactured, delivered and installed the tank to WRAS specification by the 14th of August.

Consult with the experts in water storage solutions, incorrect tank specification will inevitably cause significant costs & extensive damage to property if the tank walls become comprised.
