    A New Era For Municipal Reservoirs: Steel Water Storage Tanks

    Kirkwood Water Supply Scheme Reservoir Project

    Location: Kirkwood and Bontrug, Eastern Cape, South Africa

    Challenge: The Sundays River Valley Municipality required additional treated water storage to maintain reliable supply to multiple communities during planned canal maintenance shutdowns and improve long-term water security.

    SBS Solution: SBS Tanks supplied and installed two ST31/09 modular steel panel reservoirs with a combined storage capacity of approximately 6 million litres. The project included engineering support, manufacturing, delivery, installation, commissioning and project management in partnership with Ruwacon and Newground Projects.

    Result: The completed reservoirs provide critical backup water storage for Kirkwood, Aqua Park, Bergsig, Moses Mabhida and Msengeni, improving system resilience and ensuring continuity of supply during maintenance periods.

    Fast and effective solution delivered for raw seawater storage

    Anticipated increased water demand from the neighbouring seaside resort towns of Bushman’s River Mouth and Kenton-on-Sea necessitated an increase in the raw seawater storage capacity at the Albany Coast Reverse Osmosis Plant. Situated on the Bushman’s River Mouth the plant abstracts water from wells for desalination for bulk supplier, Amatola Water/Amanzi Board.

    Karoo Community faces water secure future

    In Jansenville, a bulk water storage tank from the SBS Tanks Standard Tank Range was installed to provide an effective 1.3Ml of water storage capacity. The SBS Tanks engineering team designed a specialised ring beam, which was constructed on the existing concrete floor of the old reservoir. Several other design elements were required to ensure that the water, sourced from various boreholes, moved through to the supply tank free and clear of the naturally occurring sediment.

    SBS Tanks blend seamlessly into Karoo landscape

    The Klipplaat community, approximately 30 kilometres from Jansenville in the Dr Beyers Naude Municipality recently became more water secure. As part of a project funded by the Department of Water and Sanitation, SBS Tanks installed an ST21-05 to deliver 775kl of water storage for the area. Due to space limitations, the SBS bulk water storage tank was installed on the floor of the old reservoir after contractors demolished the concrete walls.

    The Jansenville community also benefitted from a water storage tank installation and to help blend the tanks into the natural surroundings, and “match” them to the existing concrete reservoirs which they were installed alongside, the client chose colours from the SBS Tanks powder coated colour range. In Klipplaat the colour Sahara was used, and in Jansenville, the colour Chalk.
