Design
Timbertank tanks and reservoirs have three main components:
- A timber barrel, built with treated radiata pine and contained by hot-dipped galvanized steel cables.
- A liner system, chosen from one of four synthetic plastic liner material options, housed within a polyethylene preliner.
- A structural timber roof, which provides engineering stability, is hermetically sealed and protects the liner and its contents from ultra-violet light and external contamination.
Tower Tanks
Timbertanks may be constructed on a tower platform for use as pressure/header tanks or for aesthetic reasons. The maximum capacity tank for constructing on a tower is 100 cubic metres.
