Industrial Panel Tanks: Versatile & Efficient Liquid Storage

Industrial panel tank installed on commercial site

Industrial panel tanks are modular bolted storage systems — constructed from flat steel panels that are assembled on-site—to create rectangular, square, or round tanks designed for liquid storage. These systems offer flexibility and scalability across industrial, commercial, and municipal applications.

Why Choose Panelized Systems?

  • Modular design & quick installation: Panel-shaped tanks can be assembled in weeks rather than months, reducing site disruption.
  • Customisable for capacity & shape: Choose from rectangular, square, or circular layouts tailored to your space and volume requirements.
  • Upgradeable lifespan: Start with a standard waterproofing liner—such as PVC—for a 25‑year design life, and upgrade to epoxy or membrane liner later to extend to 50 years.
  • Easy to expand, relocate, or modify: Panels, lids, ladders, and fittings can be added post‑installation as needed.

Strength & Performance

  • Engineered structural integrity: Tanks meet dual Australian and U.S. industrial standards, with components designed for wind, seismic, and load requirements.
  • Heavy-duty hardware: Robust bolts, sealed joints, and watertight panelling ensure durability and leak prevention over decades of service.
  • Wide-ranging tank liners: Supports PVC, epoxy, membrane, GRP, and HDPE liners —each suited to different liquids and longevity targets.

Common Uses for Industrial Panel Tanks

These tanks are ideal across multiple sectors:

  • Drinking and process water storage.
  • Rainwater harvesting & stormwater.
  • Fire suppression and firefighting systems.
  • Chemical and wastewater containment.
  • Food, beverage, and agricultural liquid storage.
  • Mining, power plants, factories, and more.
