Abeco Tanks add to the bottom line

Due to climate change that is occurring faster than we would like, the world is heading towards a water crisis. There is an urgent need for businesses, mines, hospitals, medical centres, schools and communities to plan ahead and install a water storage solution.

Without a convenient, cost-effective, and reliable water supply, communities and economies are at risk.

Water storage systems are used to store clean drinking, water for human consumption, greywater, and to harvest rainwater. Both greywater and rainwater are used for irrigation and for flushing toilets.

The commercial, domestic and industrial sectors, including the manufacturing, beverage and food industries rely on these water storage solutions for water continuity when there is an interruption in water supply.

Business owners are always preparing for crisis situations like key infrastructure failures and cyber security in-case of data theft. Sadly, they don’t seem to prepare for the worst crisis of all – an interruption in water supply which is absolutely essential for survival.

Planning ahead has become vital. The cost of water storage needs to be added to business plans and into the annual budget.

The Abeco water storage tanks are a good investment because the company is interested in long term client relations. Their tanks last for up to 40 years and they are there for the long haul. Over the last 40 years of supplying water storage solutions to 35 countries they have established a reputation for reliability, excellent customer service and for quality products.

Before investing in anything we normally look at the advantages and disadvantages but with the Abeco water storage solutions there are only advantages.

• They assist businesses to grow and keep them running during water outages
• They save jobs
• They can be installed within the community ensuring that children are at school and women are working instead of daily walking long distances to find drinkable water.
• These tanks can also be used as fire water tanks. Abeco is certified by ASIB (The Automatic Sprinkler System Bureau). Large corporations trust their tanks for fire water storage on-site.
• Dry products can be stored in these tanks such as Industrial materials, animal feed and gravel.
• They are cost effective and have a lifespan of up to 40 years

As a company, Abeco is known to always be working on bringing the best product to their customers. They are a leading innovative company in the manufacturing of steel water tanks.

Their steel tanks are made up of individual steel panels that are each a standard 1200mm x 1200mm. Each panel is put through their patented precision-punching technology where they precision punch each steel panel with bolt holes. The tanks are assembled using a jig and this ensures dimensional accuracy and strength.

The manufacturing process of using high yield stress to cold press steel has been perfected by Abeco Tanks. The result is a 20% increase in the strength of the steel. Due to their tanks being able to hold up to 50 million litres of water at a time they need to ensure that the steel plates are strong enough and won’t buckle under the pressure of the water inside.

All steel elements used in the construction of the tanks are hot dip galvanised. The zinc coating prevents corrosion over time and also prevents light from penetrating the tanks. There is therefore no build-up of algae in the water. The water is kept hygienic, clean, and drinkable.

Abeco Tanks maintains international standards and holds the following certificates with well-known institutions:

• The ISO9001 certification upholds a few quality management principles including, motivation and implication of top management, a focus on strong customer service, process approach & continual improvement.
• They are a member of the ISF and are able to supply structural steel products used for projects worldwide. Their products are not only the best quality but also cost effective.
• ABECO Tanks is honoured to be a member of the Southern African Institute of Steel Construction.
• The company has SANS 10329 certification through SATAS (South African Technical Auditing Services) to produce tanks to the SANS 10329 requirement.

Abeco Tanks are the first worldwide to call their water tanks water ‘banks’. They act the same way a ‘savings account’ does by keeping a business running when there is a water interruption.

Abeco also adds to the bottom line of any business by ensuring that the prices for their products remain cost-effective and affordable. In the water tank business, they are a leader, and their aim is to satisfy the unique and individual needs of their clients by offering a wide range of water storage solutions.
