EFFLUENT TANKS
Pricing From: 50k +
The effluent storage facility is central to any system and is critical for getting the most out of your effluent - for successful management and future proofing the operation. We make sure all options are considered to determine the best solution for the site - see more here.
Tanks have long been an alternative storage solution to ponds. This includes large in-ground concrete tanks to above-ground options such as Tasman Tanks.
Similarly to a pond, some of the tank options involve a liner. Otherwise, the tank is constructed using concrete and / or sealed panels.
