THE CHALLENGE
Parmin Close Retirement Village will be completed by spring 2018. The complex sits on the outskirts of Taunton. It will feature 66 modern retirement apartments.
Residents will enjoy an in-house care team and an on-site restaurant. They will also benefit from a communal lounge and landscaped gardens. A laundrette and other essential facilities will further improve daily living.
Parmin Close provides the perfect setting. Its location offers peaceful country living near Taunton town centre. Therefore, residents enjoy tranquillity without losing access to amenities.
In addition, 12 extra wheelchair-accessible apartments are also planned. These will include shared gardens and welcoming indoor spaces.
For this project, our client contacted our technical sales team. They requested pricing for a 7,090-litre water storage tank.
However, space on-site was both small and narrow. Therefore, we needed to recommend a solution to maximise every available inch.
TRICEL SOLUTION | Residential Water Tank
Tricel’s production team found the ideal solution. We chose a Totally Internally Flanged (TIF) GRP tank.
This tank fits perfectly where space is limited. Yet, it still offers high capacity.
A TIF tank has internal flanges and fasteners. All are fitted inside the tank.
Therefore, our team built the tank from the inside. This method maximised internal space.
It also reduced the space needed outside the tank. Every inch counted on this site.
The tank was installed against three walls. Only 50mm clearance was available.
Thus, we fully optimised the available space. Maximum storage was achieved.
The apartments needed a continuous water supply. Therefore, we added an internal partition.
One half could be drained for cleaning. The other remained operational at all times.
As a result, the village received an uninterrupted water supply.
Finally, this project showed a TIF tank’s benefits. The photos show the space we saved.
THE FINAL RESULT
The project concluded with the successful installation of both the retirement village’s water storage tank and the supporting infrastructure. The TIF tank maximised storage capacity within the confined space, built tightly against three walls.
Moreover, the project was completed within five weeks, meeting the site’s operational deadlines. The before-and-after photos clearly highlight how space was effectively utilised to achieve optimal storage.
Thanks to the expertise and experience of our team, we delivered a trusted and reputable solution. Additionally, the tank is backed by WRAS certification, and we continue to offer free and fast quotes for future projects.
