Custom Galvanized Water Source Construction for Hard-to-Reach Locations
You might regret purchasing a source or decide to place a tank outside a building due to limited space or difficult access to the installation site. However, ABtank resolves this issue by constructing sources in hard-to-reach locations or specific places like under stairs tank, in engine rooms, parking lots, etc., helping clients easily solve their problems in this regard.
Galvanized Water Source Construction may be carried out at a workshop or operational site. Small galvanized metal sources are typically fabricated in workshops and then transferred to the operational site, while larger tanks are installed on-site. Sometimes, due to the difficulty of access or placement of water storage tanks on building floors where large objects cannot be transported, galvanized sheets are moved to the site and constructed there. Modular galvanized water source construction on-site is fast and of high quality due to the use of ready-made panels.

Long-lasting Galvanized Water Storage Tanks
Water storage in galvanized water tanks has a very long lifespan. We all have experienced drinking water from a galvanized source. Galvanized water storage tanks used to be visible on the rooftops of all houses until a few years ago. The quality of water stored in galvanized water tanks is usually suitable, and operating such tanks is straightforward.
Price of Galvanized Water Tank
The price of a galvanized water tank is calculated based on weight, size, and current sheet prices. The price of a galvanized water source is not overly expensive, which is why galvanized water source construction is widely applicable. However, price can be a critical factor in determining the quality of a galvanized water tank, so it is recommended to prioritize quality before considering the price.
Factors Affecting the Pricing of Various Galvanized Water Sources
The price of galvanized water tanks is calculated based on their capacity and physical shape. Considering the materials used and their quality, their prices are appropriate. For instance, in determining the price of galvanized water sources, their thickness is initially determined, followed by specifying the type of sheet based on this thickness. Furthermore, two influential factors in the pricing of various galvanized water sources are explained.
- Galvanized Sheets as a Significant Factor in Determining the Price of Various Galvanized Water Sources: Galvanized sheets are one of the most influential factors in determining the price of various galvanized water sources. They are produced in roll-form and fabricated forms in factories and used in the construction of galvanized tanks. Roll-form galvanized sheets range in thickness from 0.18 millimeters to 0.6 millimeters. Approximately, each galvanized sheet, depending on its thickness, width, and the manufacturing facility, weighs between 5 to 7 tons. Sheets manufactured by ABtank Company are fabricated into panels and for the first time in Iran, they are produced with the lowest weight and the highest resistance under the supervision of experienced experts and specialists. In the production of galvanized water sources, a zinc coating (Zn) is used, which according to international standards should not be less than 250 grams. White sheets are used in the production of galvanized water sources beca se their lifespan is greater compared to black sheets. Galvanized sheets are highly important in determining the price of various galvanized water tanks.
- Tank Capacity as Another Standard for Calculating the Price of Various Galvanized Water Sources: Galvanized water sources are produced in capacities ranging from 200 to 250,000 liters, used for drinking and non-drinking water in factories, homes, agriculture, etc. These water sources can be produced in various shapes depending on customer needs, typically in horizontal, vertical, cubic, elliptical, and other forms. To calculate the price of various galvanized water sources, the tank capacity is considered according to the customer’s preference. If you intend to build a cubic-shaped source, note that due to the construction using quality panels and reinforced materials, it typically measures approximately 1 meter by 1 meter. Therefore, the length, width, and height of these tanks will be in whole numbers.
Advantages of Galvanized Tanks
Tankers are produced and marketed in various types, materials, shapes, and volumes to meet different applications. But why is the galvanized panel tanker more popular? This is a question often asked by those who previously used plastic tankers but have decided to switch to galvanized tankers to benefit from their advantages.
The best advantages of galvanized panel tankers, which have gained significant popularity due to their practicality, include their ability to store drinking and non-drinking water safely in factories, workshops, and other settings. Galvanized tanks come in various shapes such as oval, cubic, horizontal, cylindrical, etc. The shape and size of the galvanized panel tanker can be customized based on customer orders and needs.
Another advantage of galvanized panel tankers is their capacity, which can be designed to be larger compared to plastic tankers. Unlike polyethylene tankers, galvanized tankers can be connected to another tank to increase capacity, which is one of the most notable advantages of these panel tanks.
If you need to order a tanker with specific dimensions but your space does not allow it, you should use the galvanized panel tanker type. These can be easily installed on-site because they are pre-fabricated modular tanks produced in factories, making on-site assembly straightforward. A well-designed galvanized metal tank can also have a longer lifespan compared to other similar tanks, such as composite tanks.
Key advantages of galvanized panel tankers
As the name suggests, galvanized panel tankers have a longer useful life and are very resistant to weather changes, preventing any light from entering the tank, which stops algae growth in the water inside the tank. Another advantage is the type of sheet used; white sheets are often used for storing drinking water due to their reasonable price and suitable quality.
The volume or dimensions of a galvanized panel tanker can be adjusted in the future. If you intend to expand your space, you can use modular networks to enlarge the tank, or if you want to reduce the size of the tank, you can easily detach the panel networks to decrease the tank’s volume. This makes it an excellent option for spaces with limitations such as restricted movement. Due to its high resistance, the galvanized panel tank is very suitable for extreme temperature changes, such as intense heat and cold.
What is the best prefabricated modular galvanized tank that can be reinforced in a short time?
The galvanized tank produced by Iranian ABtank is the first water storage galvanized tank with the highest resistance in Iran. ABtank, with its scientific and specialized workforce focused at the Polymer and Petrochemical Research Center of Iran, has thoroughly understood, through years of study and practical experience, the methods to enhance the panels’ resistance to high pressures. This has led to the successful production of reinforced panels for the first time in Iran. Previously, these panels were imported from abroad, but with the increase in sanctions and the closure of import routes for prefabricated modular tanks, we decided at Iranian ABtank to produce the highest quality modular galvanized tank panels and create strong and aesthetically pleasing tanks for our fellow citizens. This approach not only reduces import costs but also offers a 100% Iranian product to our compatriots. If necessary, we can source the requested panels from foreign countries and then start constructing the tanks. The complete process of manufacturing the galvanized water tank is entirely overseen by the company and executed by our professional team, ensuring the best quality tank with the highest resistance at the most reasonable cost and in the shortest possible time.
Purchasing a Galvanized Tank
When purchasing galvanized water tanks, the most important considerations include the type of galvanized sheet (hot-dipped or cold-dipped), sheet thickness, sheet lifespan, sheet connection methods, sealing methods, build quality, and the tank’s execution and delivery time. The primary reason for buying a galvanized tank is on-site construction, which is a time-consuming process. Therefore, before purchasing a galvanized tanker, ensure that you are well-informed about the manufacturer’s expertise. Also, make sure to determine the intended use of the tank before purchasing. It may be that your needs can be met with a simple polyethylene tank. However, if you have specific requirements, you can opt for galvanized tanks.
