The Client
A commercial laundry operating a processing facility in Taguig City, Metro Manila. Laundry is water-hungry work: wash cycles stop when supply drops, so the facility needed a large reserve of feed water on site.
Requirements and Constraints
- About 100 cubic meters of storage for laundry feed water.
- Panels suitable for potable and process water contact.
- The tank had to fit a long, narrow strip of the facility's existing concrete yard, which set the footprint at 14 m by 2.5 m.
- Installation on an operating site, with no crane access.
Why 14 m x 2.5 m x 3 m
The available space was long and narrow, so the tank was laid out to the space rather than the other way round. At 3 m high and 14 m long the tank holds 105 cubic meters, slightly above the 100 cubic meter target, in a single compartment.
The TankSmith Solution
Foundation
The tank sits on 15 reinforced concrete plinth beams at 1 m centers, each spanning the 2.5 m tank width. The beams were cast on the existing concrete yard, with the reinforcing bars drilled and epoxy-anchored into the slab, and levelled before assembly.
Panel Assembly
The panel kit arrived in two deliveries and was assembled on site, tier by tier, without a crane. About 187 GRP panels in total, with stepped panel thickness from 14 mm at the base to 7 mm at the top, where the water pressure is lowest. Internal hardware is SS304 stainless steel; external bracing, tie rods and ladder are hot-dip galvanized steel. EPDM sealing gaskets were fitted at every panel joint.
Connections
Four DN100 stainless steel flanged nozzles for inlet, outlet, overflow and drain.
Booster Pump Package
We also supplied the facility's pump package: a duplex booster pump set on a variable-speed (VFD) control panel, with a 1,000 L bladder tank, feeding the building from the tank.
Testing and Turnover
The tank was filled and hydrostatically tested, then turned over to the client with a witnessed sign-off, a certificate of completion and a certificate of warranty.
