signed off by engineers as being more efficient and cost effective
alternatives to more traditional specified products.

Water Pumps Gold Coast

Australian Tanks Offer Precast Concrete Pump Stations That Offer Peace-
of-Mind Installation

Extra Heavy Duty Traffic Rating

Twin Steer Traffic Rated – Suitable to bear the weight of a garbage truck
being driven over it.

Anti-Floatation

All Australian Tanks and pump stations are anti-floatation by design. Once
backfilled they can be installed in 100% saturation and will instil nil
hydrostatic uplift to the slab above.

For installations where the water table can be above the height of the tank,
such as a basement installation, tidal or flood prone locations, some of our
tanks can have in excess 3.0m water cover and still resist the hydrostatic
uplift, providing nil buoyancy. Once the tank is selected to be suitable for
the water table, no estimation is required by installers for the ballasting
required, and no separate project management of concrete Trucks, or
water trucks is required.

Coatings
All pump wells can be coated externally if there are acidic soils. Sewer or
Trade Waste pump stations can be epoxy coated. As a standard,
Australian Tanks epoxy coat with Megapoxy MC.
 Underground Fire Service Tanks

Australian Tanks’ Underground Fire Services Tanks are holding tanks

providing fire protection water for a sprinkler system that demands more
water than the domestic water line serving the building can supply.

As Local Authorities increasingly require a dedicated source of water for

fire services, and space constraints in new developments restrict where
tanks can be built, solutions like our modular Fire Tank package become
not only practical, but also very cost effective. What is important in
understanding and analysing the true costs of a Fire Tank solution is
recognising the true cost over the lifetime of your solution.

Our Underground Fire Tank Solutions offer the innovation of the Australian
Tanks’ Anti-Floatation base and the durability and strength of the Extra
Heavy Duty traffic design load rating (SM1600 – rated up to unrestricted
vehicle access).

If space is valuable then ask about the Australian Tanks solution:

Heavy duty for locations where heavy vehicle traffic is a factor;

Underground, under driveways, loading docks or parking areas;

Underground tank solutions also have minimal visual impact and are not
subject to vandalism or graffiti. With our ultra-quick modular approach (with
all fittings in place on delivery), you benefit from a fast, efficient, low cost
and easy install solution.

 Australian Tanks Design and Ratings

Anti Floatation Design

Australian Tanks round tanks are a ‘single pour’ tank, constructed with a
built-in anti-floatation square base. Once lowered into the ground, the
tank’s weight combined with the back-loaded soil loading on the anti-
floatation ‘Wings’ of the base are enough to counter any hydrostatic uplift
forces. The Australian Tanks 25kL tank is the only tank that requires an
additional 200mm cover to achieve this.
 The Australian Tanks 7,000L rectangle tank weighs 9.0 Tonne with the
lid on.
 The Australian Tanks 1500mm ID Pit weights exceed the volumes
displaced.
 Extra Heavy Duty – Trafficable

Australian Tanks are regularly requested to replace tanks that have been
driven over and damaged. Many times these tanks have been installed in
non-trafficable areas, but have been inadvertently driven over, only to find
the tank has been unable to bear weight with the resulting damage
requiring new tank installation.
Areas that are not considered to require a heavy duty traffic rating, such as
parks and school ovals, on occasion host events that may involve large
trucks, such as school fairs.
To avoid these damaging risks Australian Tanks provide tanks that are
manufactured to Australian Standards (AS5100.2) and are rated up to
unrestricted heavy vehicle access based on the SM1600 traffic design
loads.

 Heavy Duty Tank: Rated for where the heaviest vehicle traffic will be a 4
axle twin steer truck (Max GVM 27.5t). Example: Garbage Truck

 Extra Heavy Duty Tank: Rated up to unrestricted heavy vehicle access

based on the SM1600 traffic design loads in accordance with AS5100.2
Bridge Design Code. Example: Fire Engine or fully loaded Semi-trailer.
