Pioneer Water Tanks' unique 8-80 V-LOCK is the result of rigorous research and development.
The 8-80 V-LOCK profile is designed to minimize stress on the liner during tank level cycling.
Specifically engineered with a flat section at the bolted panel connections, the 8-80 V-LOCK vastly improves the structural integrity and overall aesthetic appeal of your finished tank.
Pioneer Water Tanks understands the importance of the longevity of your tank liner.
All Pioneer Water Tanks liners are uniquely secured to the tank wall at multiple points to provide optimal support for the liner. This support prevents the liner from pulling away from the tank wall and secures it in position.
The result: less stress on the liner and prolonged service life of your tank.

AqualinerĀ® and IndustratexĀ® have been exclusively developed and manufactured for Pioneer Water Tanks to provide a water tight liquid storage membrane.
Strength, flex resistance, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, water proofing and leak proofing have been considered in the design of AqualinerĀ® and IndustratexĀ®. Both liners can be custom manufactured for the relining of existing concrete, steel and other types of water tanks.
Primarily intended for potable water storage, your tank liner can be adapted for a variety of non-potable water grades including grey treated, bore, ground or well water.
This data sheet sets out the criteria for evaluating the suitability of the AqualinerĀ® as a core component of the liner tank system.

Pioneer Water Tanks has invested extensive effort developing a roof structure that is not only easy to install but stronger and easily adaptable for most applications.
The innovative truss foot connection allows a flush strong bolted connection with the tank wall, resulting in direct load transfer from roof structure to tank wall and then to the ground.
All roof structures utilize the strength of square hollow sections (SHS), fully welded and post galvanized to build a strong, robust structure that will perform in all conditions.
This is a robust engineered roof structure comprising SHS tube members fabricated into welded roof trusses with swivel truss feet to enable secure alignment with the tank wall.
The SHS trusses are high strength/high ductility and are engineered to provide direct load paths for all loads that are incident to the roof into the tank wall. The structure is typically galvanized to ensure excellent performance and long life. The roof structure is capable of handling construction and maintenance loads as required by AS1170.1.
As with most light building-type structures, personnel need to restrict their footprints to the lines of the trusses. This roof is suitable for most applications where standard access hatches are required, and when not located in an exposed area subject to gales. These roofs are designed in accordance with the relevant clauses of AS1170.0, AS1170.1 and AS1170.2, and can withstand regional wind speeds of up to 141.08 feet per second, as specified in AS1170.2.
The heavy duty roof is designed in accordance with the relevant clauses of AS1170.0, AS1170.1 and AS1170.2 to withstand minimum regional winds of up to 43 metres per second.
Embodying the features of the industry standard roof design, the heavy duty tank roof is capable of handling heavier loads arising from larger platforms such as the two metre by two metre roof platform and handrails.
The heavy duty roof has been structurally designed to enable mounting of ancillary features such as a vent hatch on one side of the roof diametrically opposite the access hatch.
Two cyclonic roof designs are available for Cyclonic Regions C and D in accordance with the relevant clauses of AS1170.0, AS1170.1 and AS1170.2.
Regional wind speeds in accordance with AS1170.2 for Region C and Region D cyclonic roofs are 65 metres per second and 82 metres per second respectively.
The cyclonic roofs embodies the features of the heavy duty roof design with roof trusses of greater depth and closer spacing to withstand the higher wind velocities expected in Cyclonic Regions C and D.
Pioneer Water Tanks have developed a system for tanks without the need for a roof structure.
The open top tank ring truss gives superior strength and stiffness to the top edge of the tank body.
This simple, but very effective solution works very well for tanks in the effluent treatment industry whereby special ring trusses must be designed to accommodate loads imposed from equipment such as floating aerators.
Open top tanks require stiffening around the top edge wall. A ring type truss is utilised for larger tanks to achieve the required stiffening.
Safe and secure access solutions for maintenance and inspection.
Precision-engineered connections for all plumbing requirements.
Accurate water level monitoring systems.
High-quality flow control and management systems.
Pioneer Water Tanks has the flexibility to insert nozzles through the tank wall, roof or floor to suit most flange tables (BSP, D, E, DN, DIN or ANSI) with polyethylene or galvanized steel fitting also available.
Pioneer Water Tanks stocks a selection of valves including ball valves, butterfly valves, float control valves, diaphragm valves, check valves and electronic level sensors.
The position and size of tank nozzles will determine the effective (or usable) storage capacity of your tank. Clients must nominate the position of each nozzle, inlet, outlet, overflow and the line to match existing or new pipe work prior to manufacture commencing.
All nozzle drawings are indicative only. Do not design before confirming vertical locations with Pioneer Water Tanks.
Proper site preparation and footing design are critical for the longevity and performance of your water catchment tank.
Pioneer Water Tanks can provide detailed foundation specifications and engineering drawings specific to your site conditions and tank model. Contact us for professional site assessment and foundation design services.
Bluescope ZINCALUMEĀ® steel, COLORBONDĀ® steel or COLORBONDĀ® Ultra steel panels complying with AS1397. Most severe earthquake loads to AS1170.4. 8-80 V-LOCK wall profile to AS4600.
G300 ZINCALUMEĀ® steel.
ZINCALUMEĀ® steel (zinc/aluminium/magnesium alloy) AM125 heavy-duty coating. Also available in COLORBONDĀ® steel.
M10-M16 galvanized, flanged head, high tensile bolts.
Nozzles are manufactured from either PE100 SDR17 HDPE or hot dipped galvanized steel (available on request).
This can be either client or tank specific or both. Each project will be confirmed in writing and comprise a full installation, manufacturing and installation schedule. Note that Pioneer Water Tanks requires certain information prior to commencing manufacturing. This will be advised to you at the time of proposal.
