Corrugated Steel Water Tanks for Sale in South Africa

Hot-dip galvanised steel panels handle harsh sun, hail and wind better than many plastic alternatives, and modular construction means tanks can be installed on sites where pouring concrete is slow or uneconomical. Ring heights of 1.55 m, 2.3 m and 3.05 m let you match footprint to available space — useful on dairy farms, packhouses, mines and game lodges where a tall narrow tank fits behind a shed or against a slope.

Compared to open earth dams, a lined steel reservoir cuts evaporation losses when roofed, keeps water cleaner for irrigation systems, and can be relocated or expanded as your operation grows.

Clients use our tanks for livestock and game watering, irrigation buffer storage ahead of pivots and drip lines, firefighting reserves on remote farms, and process or dust-suppression water at mines and quarries. Borehole water is often pumped during off-peak hours into a tank so irrigation can run when Eskom load-shedding would otherwise stop the pump.

Steel reservoirs also work as balancing tanks in combined borehole-and-dam systems described in our blog guides on farm water management.

Each tank includes an 850 gsm PVC liner and bidem floor sheet suited to potable and agricultural water storage. Standard fittings include 50 mm inlet and outlet connections and overflow. Upright columns support ring loads; optional roofs reduce evaporation, debris ingress and algae growth — worthwhile in hot, dusty regions.

Where water chemistry or abrasion demands it, we can discuss alternative liner weights or coordinate with our HDPE team for linked earth-dam storage on the same property.

A level, compacted base — typically sand or crusher dust on geotextile — is essential so the tank does not settle unevenly and stress the liner. We advise on diameter, height and position relative to pumps and pipe routes before manufacture. Most standard installations are completed within a few days once the base is ready, though lead times apply for fabrication and delivery to remote sites.

We work with your contractor or our partners on civils where needed, and we remain available for liner inspections and maintenance after commissioning.
