Building Water Tanks for Reliable Storage in Apartments and Projects
A building water tank should be selected around occupancy, daily demand, expected supply interruptions, installation space and access route—not litres alone. Makran Sirab Plastic Complex (Mako Tank) supplies vertical and horizontal polyethylene tanks for apartments, villas, commercial buildings and construction sites.
A Practical Selection and Installation Guide
A reliable solution aligns capacity, tank shape, installation conditions and the supply plan as one system.
How should building tank capacity be estimated?
Start with the number of occupants or users, normal daily demand and the storage period required during an interruption. Add a practical safety allowance for local supply conditions, but avoid oversizing without considering water turnover and structural loading. Multi-unit projects should confirm the final figure with the project’s utilities engineer.
Vertical or horizontal water tank?
Vertical tanks use floor area efficiently when headroom is available. Horizontal tanks suit low-height plant rooms and open installations where a lower profile is preferred. Measure every door, corridor, stairwell, lift and roof access opening before ordering.
Installation and connection basics
Provide a flat, level, continuous base capable of supporting the filled tank. Support pipework independently and use suitable flexible connections so pump vibration or pipe weight is not transferred to the outlet. Keep inspection, cleaning and fitting access clear.
Project purchasing
For housing developments and construction sites, share capacities, quantities, access limitations, delivery city and schedule. The Mako Tank sales team will match available models and prepare a coordinated project quotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a tank be installed in a plant room?
Yes, when the base, ventilation, service clearance and access route are suitable.
Is vertical or horizontal better for an apartment?
Vertical is efficient on limited floor area; horizontal is useful where height is restricted.
Should a pump connect rigidly to the tank?
Pipework should be supported and vibration isolated so mechanical loads do not reach the tank outlet.
Is project pricing available?
Commercial terms depend on model, capacity, quantity, destination and delivery plan.
