Installation and Caution

  • Customers are requested to make foundation pad construction according to the designed specifications and the strength of the site.
  • Check the evenness of foundation (within 5mm) and the flatness of base material. (within 0.5mm)
  • Check rust of the external reinforced material and any bolts and nuts, their tightness.
  • check installed state of the external ladders and water level gauge.
  • check bending of the water tank wall panel(maximum up to 1% of water tank height) and check skewness of the water tank.
  • Check a corrosion inhibitor coating on the internal reinforced material and bolts tightness.

PARTITION TYPE WATER TANK

One water tank in a limited space creates an effect of installing multiple tanks, which is an economical alternative and efficient for maintenance.

  • Performance

    •  Maximized volume in a limited space
    • The Partition Water Tank can maximize the tank volume than installing separate water tanks, especially for limited spaces, such as basement or small areas.
    •  Precautions when cleaning
    • One of tank must maintain less than 50% of water level for safety reasons when cleaning the other tank.
    •  Easy Maintenance
    • Two tanks are installed as one, which enables easy maintenance and does not require water supply cutoff for cleaning.
    •  Economical
    • The Partition Water Tank is more cost effective, including the cost for labor work, compared to installing separated tanks for different purpose.

Design Criteria

Hydrostatic Pressure

Designed to restrain distortion from hydrostatic pressure. Maximum distortion rate of wall panel after 48 hours of full tank is less than 1.0% of the total height of the water tank.

Snow Load

Designed to withstand 60kg/m² of snow load.

Earthquake Resistance

Designed to KH=1/3G

Strength of Drainage

Designed to withstand 100kg of water poured into the tank with no leakage, with a 100mm diameter flange installed on the internal slide of the wall of a full tank and props on the bottom part of the pipes every 70cm.

Wind Pressure

Designed to withstand wind at a 60m/sec speed maximum, even when the tank is not filled with water.

Performance & Features of Insulated Panels

01.Outstanding Insulation

SMC insulated panels are made from applying polyurethane, an efficient insulator on a single-layer panel, and covering with a special synthetic resin foamer, creating a sandwich-like structure panel with high insulation performance.

0Performance

SMC water tanks have outstanding insulation and a dew-proof as triple sandwich structure. Because single panel with heat retention which has 250 times the conductivity more than other metals (STEEL, SUS, etc.) is laid, and polyurethane foam with excellent insulation effect is inserted as lagging. Lastly, a special cover made of synthetic resin vacuum-molded is put on.

Partition Type Water Tank

One water tank is a limited space creates an effect of installing multiple tanks, which is an economical alternative and efficient for maintenance.

Performance

Maximize volume in a limited space: The partitioned water tank can maximize the tank volume compared to installing separate water tanks, especially for limited spaces, such as a basement or small areas.

Precautions when cleaning: One of tank must maintain less than 50% of the water level for safety when cleaning the other tank.

Easy Maintenance: Two tanks are installed as one, which enables easy maintenance and does not require a water supply cutoff for cleaning.

Economical: The partition water tank is more cost-effective, including the cost for labor work, and installing separate tanks for different purposes.

Various Stage : When a partition is applied, one tank can be utilized as a potable water tank, and the other for utility water (for fire hydrant).

Installation Example

If tanks for two different uses are needed in a limited area or boiler room, a 16ton partition type tank can be installed to use half for potable water 8ton for utility water. 8ton however, if two separate tanks are installed instead it need 1 meter distance between the two tank. So each tank capacity is only 6ton.
