03 March 2011Why Choose Steel Water Tanks?
Pioneer Water Tanks are made from the strength of BlueScope ZINCALUME® and COLORBOND® Steel.
These products have over 20 years of proven experience in harsh Australian conditions, and are used in many different applications.
They are proven performers in the water tank market and ideal products for your next water tank. They are fully backed by BlueScope Steel for this critical and demanding application.
The high levels of U.V in Australian sunlight will not degrade steel as it does other organic tank materials such as plastic. Steel also fully blocks the penetration of U.V light which prevents algae growth and keeps water quality optimal.
Steel tanks are environmentally responsible, as steel is one of the most recycled materials available, and can be recycled even after many years of use.
Pioneer Water Tanks’ unique, contemporary profile is stylish, durable and structurally strong. It is flexible and strong in both tension and compression and will not crack or crumble under load like other composite tank materials such as concrete.
Steel is also fire-proof. This was demonstrated in 2006 when a Pioneer water tank was fire tested by the CSIRO Bushfire CRC and proved able to maintain structural integrity and retain water during and after a fire front, essential elements for fire protection.
When you buy a steel water tank, check with your supplier that you’re buying genuine COLORBOND® or ZINCALUME® steel made in Australia to Australian Standards by BlueScope Steel.
