Since its inception in the 1970’s, the Vulcan Tank has become a market leading galvanised water storage solution for the fire suppression and irrigation markets. The Vulcan Tank is a globally recognised brand with an outstanding reputation for quality and reliability. With over 12,000 tanks manufactured and shipped from our UK facility and installed worldwide, the Vulcan Tank remains a high quality, reliable and efficient product for your water storage needs.
Standard cylindrical designed tanks consist of galvanised steel sheets 2.5m long x 1.25m high with thickness varying dependent upon tank size. Tank diameters range from 3.1m to 31.0m with height dependent upon diameter providing capacities from 9m3 to over 4000m3. Each tank is sealed using either PVC, EPDM or Butyl Liners.
Manufactured from mill galvanised steel in accordance with BS EN 103046 or steel in accordance with BS EN 10025 which is subsequently hot dip galvanised to BS EN 1461 standard.
Sheets are assembled onsite using a lap joint and galvanised silo bolts. The tank shell is fixed to the concrete foundation using a pre-rolled galvanised angle, clamps and parabolts, with a similar stiffening angle fixed to the top of the tank shell.
The tank is supplied with a roof cover, a galvanised access ladder and platform, along with inlet and outlet connections. Insulated walls and roof cover are also available where the risk of a consistently low temperature would cause a problem. Ancillaries such as ball valve, heater, contents gauge etc. are also supplied as standard.

Self healing and long lastingCylindrical galvanised tanks can be sealed using liners manufactured from either PVC EPDM or BUTYL synthetic membranes to create a completely waterproof seal. PVC EPDM and BUTYL have
outstanding aging, environmental and weather-resistant properties. Strength and elasticity remains virtually unchanged over many years, without shrinking, hardening or cracking.
Liners are bolted to the top angle of the tank through re-enforced eyelets. Additional protection during installation and use is obtained from Polyester geotextile matting on the tank floor and protective tape on all interior tank sheet edges.
