70% of your body is made up of , the food we eat and the beverages we drink. Water to clean yourself, your clothes, your dishes, your car and everything else around you. Water can be used to travel on or swim in it to cool off on hot sunny days. Many of the products that we use every day actually use it. All forms of life need it, and if they don't get enough of it, they die. War disputes and huge losses have centered around it like Elephants breaking out of the park and going to home stead to search for water or the Maasai traveling for days with their flock in search for water and pasture due to draught.


A water tank is made using various materials such as plastics ,fiberglass ,concrete, stone ,steel, earthen pots. The purpose of a water tank is to act as a container for storing water, that may be later used for drinking, irrigation, fire suppression, farming, both for plants and livestock, chemical manufacturing, food preparation as well as many other uses. Water tanks would really make a long lasting impact in regions where there is scarcity in water

Galvanized Steel Sheet Large Scale Tanks

Galvanized Steel Sheet Large Scale Tanks can vary in terms of storage and design . The Galvanized Steel tank can hold a capacity of 13,000 - 1,000,000L. With a Height of 2 meters to 3 meters and with a Long life span.




A Water Tower can take 4 weeks to fix . The owner can choose whether to pick a ground level or tower . For such a case the requirement will be building a foundation of beam bearers which cot 350,000Ksh .The cost of a 60,000 Litres tank cost 1.2 million ksh . The pricing for a steel tower is in pairs in the sense that if you want a 50,000 Liter the cost for the tower would go for 980,000Ksh for a 6 meter tower while the cost for the tank would cost 1.050 making it roughly 2 million without transport cost from the installer.


 Steel tank

The steel tank require much of proffesional as steel does rusts but if galvanized even salty water cannot affect it for that case repairs and Maintenance is done every 3 to 5 years to prolong the lifespan of the tank while Water stored with chlorine might affect the tank and not last for over 40 years as they do



The height of the steel tower tank seems a risk to climb in order to check on the water levels however you can get a water gauge that indicates the water levels in the high level tanks at 9,000Ksh .The tank capacity would depend on the preference of the owner as a 20,000 Liter steel tank would go for 580,000Ksh while for a 10,000 Litre it would fetch for 400,000Ksh
