Water Tower Structure
The capacity is almost infinitely extendable. X-tanks allow installation flexibility that surpasses any other. –> Available in sizes ranging from 1000 litres to over 2 million litres, and they can be customized to fit the allocated installation space.
QUALITY
–> Design and manufactured according to Local and International Standards (KS 02-761 and BS 1564).
–> ISO Certified, KEBS Certified, NCA Category 1 Contractor
Water tower installation involves site assessment, detailed engineering design, foundation preparation (excavation, reinforcement), structural assembly (steel/concrete), tank mounting, plumbing, and final testing, ensuring stability and efficient water distribution by utilizing gravity for pressure.
Key Stages of Installation
1. Site Assessment & Design:
Engineers evaluate location, topography, water needs, and determine required height/capacity, followed by detailed blueprints considering structural integrity.
2. Foundation Preparation:
Excavation, casting lean concrete, installing rebar (reinforcement), and pouring a robust concrete base with anchor bolts for stability.
3. Material & Fabrication:
Selecting high-strength steel or concrete, fabricating components, and applying protective coatings (galvanization) to prevent rust.
4. Tower Assembly:
Erecting the support structure (columns, beams) on the foundation, ensuring correct alignment and safety.
5. Tank & Plumbing:
Securely mounting the water storage tank (spherical, cylindrical) and installing inlet/outlet pipes, often with pump systems for filling.
6. Testing & Commissioning:
Rigorous checks for load capacity, leaks, and functionality before connecting to the water supply network for distribution.
Finishing:
Painting, adding fencing for security, and ensuring all elements meet quality and safety standards.
Key Components
Support Structure : Steel or reinforced concrete legs/frame.
Elevated Tank: Holds water, often spherical or cylindrical, creating pressure.
Foundation: Critical concrete base for weight distribution.
Pumps/Piping: For filling the tank and distributing water.
