5 Benefits of Water Storage Tanks

Rainwater Harvesting Storage Tanks

With water becoming an ever more scarce resource, most major cities use storage tanks to collect and store rainwater for non-potable purposes. These include irrigation, which reduces the demand on the municipal water supply and promotes sustainability. KBK offers both above-ground and below-ground storage tank options in a variety of sizes to meet these requirements.

Wastewater Management Storage Tanks

Due to the unique nature of wastewater management, it’s important for tanks to be available in a number of shape and size options to meet customer needs. At KBK, we offer wastewater storage tanks manufactured with flat, sloped, dish, or cone bottoms. They also offer options such as single or double-wall construction, insulation, and above-ground or below-ground designs. 

All of our tanks also come with fittings, manways, lift and tie-down systems, and level indicators to ensure they’re both useful and practical for use on-site. With size options ranging from 157 gallons to over 47,000 gallons, we can provide the right storage option for your needs.

Parks And Recreation Facility Storage Tanks

Because parks come in all shapes and sizes, so do their water storage needs. From splash pads (also known as “spray parks” or “splash parks”) to open play spaces, many recreational water features are found in parks and other public spaces. These areas are designed for water play and usually incorporate water jets, fountains, and interactive elements – but this water is often recirculated and treated to ensure safety and hygiene. And that water needs to be stored somewhere!

KBK offers several types of tanks used in the construction and operation of these features. From our underground reservoir tanks which store water for splash pads to our above ground storage tanks that are visible (and should be designed with aesthetics in mind), we have the solution that fits your space and needs perfectly. 

When designing and implementing splash pads, it is essential to consider water storage systems that align with local regulations, safety standards, and the specific needs of the community. Working with experienced KBK’s engineers and designers can help ensure the efficient and safe operation of splash pads in parks.

Brine Storage Tanks

Many city and state governments use KBK’s brine storage tanks for highway maintenance, due to the effectiveness of brine solutions for maintaining wintery roads. Brine is a salt and water mixture, and while it is useful for maintaining roads and highways, it can be a little tough on the containers that store it. That’s why KBK’s fiberglass tanks are a great fit – they safely store solutions such as these without corroding, and make it readily available for use when needed increasing both the convenience and the response times for changing weather conditions. 

Our tanks also allow state and local governments to customize their brine solutions by adjusting the concentration of salt and water, based on specific weather conditions. This kind of flexibility allows for a flexible approach to de-icing strategies. 

Educational Facility/School Storage Tanks

For school districts, there are a variety of use cases where water storage is needed and a reliable solution to that problem is important. This includes infrastructure, safety, and sustainability which is becoming more important than ever to educational institutions across the country. 

Whether storing water and chemicals for maintaining sports fields and athletic facilities, to irrigation and landscaping of school lawns, gardens, and other green spaces, sustainable and efficient storage solutions are an important factor to smooth operations. And because our tanks also allow for the collection and storage of rainwater, they can help promote sustainable practices and a reduced reliance on municipal water supplies. By incorporating storage tanks into their infrastructure, school districts can ensure the availability of essential resources, promote safety, and contribute to sustainable practices in their educational environments.
