SOLHAR Botswana – Stage Tank for Water Storage and to Pump Water
Botswana Stage Tank – Water Storage and Pump Project
Grade B container purchase and delivered. Not in too bad of a shape.
Details about this Project;
THE CLIENT’S REQUEST:
Our client in Botswana requested us to come up with a solution for a stage tank to be able to store and pump water out of the pit area. Because of the depth of the pit, it is not feasible to pump water all the way up and out. The pumps required to do this is not cost effective. To be able to use smaller pumps the water needs to be pump in stages i.e. halfway up and then the last bit out of the pit area.
THE SOLUTION:
To achieve this, you need to be able to store large quantities of water before pumping it further.
We did some investigation and realized that is you reinforce and seal a container it will work perfectly.
Our Solhar team started by strengthening the container frame from the outside.
Container is boxed up and twice as rigid as before.
The original floor in containers are made from wood which needed to be removed and new floor installed made from sheet metal.
To assist with the pressure of weight of 80000lt, we installed pipe supports on the inside of the container.
Access hatches were also fabricated for easy access for maintenance and repairs if needed.
Part of the request was to be able easily place the stage tank in new positions as required.
The easiest way to do this, was to build a sled on which it can be pulled.
Due to the size of the sled, it was assembled and welled in 2 halves.
Once welded they were joined together and,
The container was placed on top of the sled and welded in position.
A water test showed some leaks, which was quickly repaired.
Considering it was a grade B container there was very little water lost.
We applied a water resistance primer to the inside on the tank.
Nice inside paint job!
Same water-resistant primer was applied on the outside.
Final paint applied to make the staged tank look brand new.
Loaded and on its way to its destination in Botswana. The tank worked so well that they ordered another on 3 months later.
