trussed roof tanks
Protected, high-capacity water storage designed for reliable supply and efficient deployment.
Downlands Trussed Roof Tanks provide secure above-ground storage for drinking water, irrigation, rainwater harvesting and firewater reserves. Their protective roof system helps preserve stored water quality, while the modular flatpack design makes large-scale storage practical to transport, install and configure for a wide range of locations and project requirements.
Suitable for community, agricultural, commercial and infrastructure applications, these tanks offer a durable long-term solution where clean water protection, significant capacity and deployment efficiency are essential.
Features & Benefits
- Protective trussed roof system - UV block-out, dust-resistant and vermin-resistant covering helps protect stored water from contamination and sunlight exposure.
- High-capacity above-ground storage - Suitable for substantial water-storage requirements, with configurations up to approximately 1,156m³, subject to final specification confirmation.
- Flexible size and height options - Approximately 3m and 6m tank-height options allow greater storage volume to be achieved where site footprint is limited.
- Modular flatpack construction - Simplifies transport and containerisation, reducing freight volume and supporting deployment to remote, international or difficult-access locations.
- Efficient installation - Modular assembly supports rapid on-site construction, with installation typically achievable within 1–7 days, subject to site preparation and project requirements.
- Reduced Groundworks - In suitable site conditions, installation can avoid extensive concrete foundations, helping reduce construction time, cost and environmental impact.
- Adaptable to challenging locations - Above-ground design is suitable for consideration on sites affected by soft soils, high water tables, floodplain conditions or restricted access, subject to technical assessment.
- Resilient modular design - Engineered to accommodate ground movement, with demonstrated earthquake performance for demanding environments.
- Durable and low maintenance - Non-corrosive construction is suited to exposed and salt-air environments, with minimal ongoing maintenance and a stated 25-year design life.
- Configurable for each application - Inlets, outlets, drains, level indicators, access hatches, wash-down systems, anchors and associated fittings can be specified to meet project needs.
Suitable applications
- Community and potable water storage
- Rainwater harvesting
- Agricultural Irrigation
- Frost-protection reserves
