What We
Build
From residential water collection to large-scale industrial processing · end-to-end solutions for all your needs.
Water Storage
Reservoirs, residential tanks, firefighting systems, and potable water storage solutions.
From backyard rainwater collection to public supply reservoirs, engineered for fast construction, flexible siting, and long-term lifecycle performance.
Industrial Usage
Process liquid storage, chemical containment, and heat exchanger cooling tanks for demanding industrial environments.
Specified around the liquid with tailored liners, adaptable geometry, and strong commercial value for changing plant conditions.
Treatment Solutions
Biodigesters, clarifiers, leachate collectors, and wastewater treatment.
Integrated treatment systems for wastewater, leachate, and organic process streams, shaped around site constraints and compliance needs.
Design & Installation
Coordinated tank design, material selection, foundations, access planning, and supervised on-site builds.
From barrel geometry and liner duty through to difficult access installation methods, the system is shaped around the site and storage brief.
Service & Maintenance
Routine servicing, inspections, cleaning, liner work, repairs, and practical tank rehabilitation.
Planned service work can often be completed with low disruption, extending asset life and recovering value from existing tanks.
Upsizing & Relocating
Enlarge existing tanks, relocate reusable assets, or refurbish surplus tanks for a new site.
Modular construction makes practical reuse possible when capacity, location, or site operations change.
Standard
tank ranges
Reservoir, tank, and kitset dimensions are now separated into a dedicated specs page, with capacities, diameters, barrel heights, water depths, and overall heights clearly laid out.

Pioneering
Sustainability
Since 1972
Since 1972, Timbertank Enterprises Ltd has been pioneering sustainable water storage solutions. What began as an innovative solution for a beach house project has evolved into New Zealand's leading provider of timber tanks and reservoirs.
Founded by architect Morton Jordan, our family-owned company has maintained its commitment to innovation and sustainability. Now led by his sons Justin and Giles, we continue to deliver cutting-edge storage and treatment solutions with capacities ranging from residential to 3 million litre community supplies.
With extensive research and development, we've expanded from pure water storage to sophisticated treatment systems, partnering with leading engineering consultants to meet diverse requirements.

Leaders
We have investigated other systems, but have chosen Timbertanks because they deliver what we require and respond quickly if problems arise. The construction time is remarkably fast.
Thames Coromandel District Council
Water Infrastructure
The earthquake resistance exceeded expectations. After the Canterbury earthquakes, our tanks remained fully operational while others failed. Truly remarkable engineering.

Five installations at our Edendale plant speak to the quality and reliability. The sustainability aspect aligns perfectly with our environmental commitments.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Clear answers on durability, seismic performance, relocation, potable water safety, and long-term ownership.
Local labour was used to build a Timbertank in Vanuatu.
These are the questions we are most often asked about service life, timber durability, site flexibility, seismic resilience, and potable-water performance.
A Timbertank combines a natural finish with one of the lowest whole-of-life environmental footprints available. Plantation-grown Pinus radiata is a renewable resource that stores carbon, while steel, concrete, and plastic generally carry higher embodied energy and emissions.
Potable water note
Timbertanks are primarily designed for potable water storage. When specified for that duty, the water is safe to drink and protected by a double-liner system using potable-grade liner materials.
International
Markets
New Zealand-made Timbertanks shipped worldwide for demanding sites, diverse climates, and tightly managed export programs.
Manufactured in New Zealand and delivered for installation across highly varied international environments.
Built in New Zealand
Installed worldwide
Timbertanks are exported globally for sites operating in very different climatic conditions. From the Pacific Islands to Alaska, installations have stood up to earthquakes, cyclones, corrosive salt air, snowstorms, termites, and even fire.
Our New Zealand team manages export packaging, shipping, and documentation, while carefully selected international agents and distributors support local representation, facilitation, and successful installation on site.
Small-volume orders are packed for LCL shipment in compact rectangular bundles, keeping freight efficient where volume drives cost. Larger reservoirs ship in 20-foot and 40-foot containers.
Every on-site installation is rigorously supervised by Timbertank personnel. Fast construction helps keep the build controlled and minimizes the risk of cost over-runs.
