Horizontal Surge Tanks

Fibreglass horizontal surge tanks are used to provide additional wastewater storage, but at the same time minimising site construction work. The horizontal design maximises the storage volume whilst minimising the depth of construction. The horizontal round tank is inherently strong to withstand soil and vehicle loads.

Horizontal surge tanks can be installed in conjunction with a pump station, or they can have a pumping chamber incorporated in them. For fibreglass pump stations, click here ...

Multiple tanks can be installed alongside one another to achieve the required storage volume.

All fibreglass construction eliminates any problems of corrosion. Fibreglass has an indefinite life in municipal wastewater service.

All joints are factory sealed inside and outside using the butt and strap method. This creates a joint that cannot leak wastewater outwards, or allow infiltration of groundwater.

The fibreglass tanks are light in weight so are easy to handle and install. This minimises site requirements for large cranes. Often the machinery used for excavation can be used to install the tank.
