Zincalume Overhead Tank
A Zincalume Overhead Tank is a water storage tank manufactured using Zincalume-coated steel, designed for storing water on rooftops, elevated structures, and industrial platforms. Zincalume steel combines aluminium and zinc coating to provide improved resistance against corrosion and weather exposure compared with conventional uncoated steel.
Key Features
- Corrosion Resistant: Zincalume coating provides strong protection against rust and environmental exposure.
- Durable Construction: Suitable for long-term water storage applications when properly designed and maintained.
- Lightweight Structure: Steel construction can offer a high strength-to-weight ratio.
- Weather Resistant: Suitable for outdoor and rooftop installations.
- Customizable Capacity: Available in different capacities according to site requirements.
- Easy Maintenance: Smooth internal surfaces and accessible construction make inspection and maintenance easier.
- Modular Options: Sectional designs can be assembled at the installation site, making them useful where transportation or access is difficult.
Common Applications
Zincalume Overhead Tanks can be used for:
- Residential buildings
- Apartment complexes
- Commercial buildings
- Hotels and resorts
- Schools and institutions
- Hospitals
- Factories and industrial facilities
- Warehouses
- Agricultural and utility applications
- Fire-water storage systems, where the tank design is specifically suitable
How It Works
Water Source → Pumping → Elevated Zincalume Tank → Gravity/Pressurized Distribution → End Use
The tank stores water at an elevated position and supplies it to connected points through the building or facility’s water-distribution system.
Why Choose Zincalume?
Zincalume’s aluminium-zinc coating provides a protective layer over the steel, helping the tank withstand moisture, humidity, sunlight, and outdoor conditions. The exact service life depends on the coating specification, water chemistry, environment, fabrication quality, and maintenance.
