Water Storage Tanks for Data Centres in the UK
Engineered for uptime, compliance, and thermal resilience
Why Water Storage Is Critical for Data Centres?
Prevent Cooling System Failure
Keep Cooling Systems Running Without Interruption
Modern data centres rely heavily on water to support evaporative, adiabatic, hybrid, and liquid cooling systems. Because these technologies are sensitive to supply fluctuations, even brief interruptions can cause condenser temperatures to spike, leading to chiller trips and potentially cascading thermal failures. Securing dependable water storage is therefore essential to maintaining continuous cooling performance and protecting uptime.
Meet Mandatory UK Regulations
Stay Fully Compliant With UK Water Regulations
Meeting UK regulatory requirements is another critical reason for robust onsite water storage. Data centres must comply with the Water Industry Act 1991, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, Building Regulations Part G, BS 8558:2015, HSE L8 for Legionella control, and BS EN 12845 for fire suppression. Tricel tanks are engineered to align with WRAS, NSF, BS EN 13280, and LPCB fire‑tank standards, helping installations stay fully compliant.
Strengthen Climate Resilience
Build Resilience Against Heatwaves & Supply Disruptions
Climate resilience is becoming increasingly important as the UK faces more frequent heatwaves, drought restrictions, and interruptions to mains supply. Onsite water storage provides vital autonomy during periods of high thermal demand and constrained resources, enabling data centres to maintain reliable cooling performance despite environmental or supply‑related pressures.
