Format 30 Sectional Water Tanks
The Format 30 water tank refers to Tricel’s heavy-duty sectional water tank panels, equipped with robust panel covers, screened vents, overflows, and warning pipes. These tanks are designed with roof panels and side walls insulated using encapsulated CFC-Free polyurethane foam, complying with section 30 of the water byelaws in most circumstances. Tanks installed in boiler rooms or similar areas may also require base insulation for optimal performance.
Please note that while insulation slows down heat transfer, it does not completely prevent heat loss or gain over extended periods. Further information can be found in BS 7491 & BS 6700.
Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) Sectional Water Tanks
GRP sectional water tanks are a popular solution for water storage due to their high durability, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion. These tanks are particularly advantageous in industrial, commercial, and institutional environments such as schools, hospitals, and data centers where dependable water storage is essential. A key feature of these tanks is their sectional water tank design, allowing for easy transportation, assembly, and customization. Understanding the various sectional water tank panel sizes enables facility managers and engineers to make informed choices that meet both current and future water storage needs.
Tanks insulated and finished to Format 30
Note: This is only an example of one type of insulation skin, there are different arrangements for different types of tanks.
Pipe connections for insulated cold water storage tanks
Pipe connections on insulated sectional water tanks are more limited than those on standard tanks. The image below illustrates a recess in the insulation panel that facilitates pipe connections.
- Current legislation mandates that hot or cold water intended for human consumption must meet potable water standards.
- While there are specific material requirements for the tank itself, there are no additional design requirements for the lids, screening of vents, breathers, overflows, or warning pipes. Proper insulation helps prevent freezing and maintains water temperatures below 20ºC.
