Water Tower (SHS) for Safe Elevated Water Storage

A water tower (SHS) is an elevated steel structure built using Square Hollow Sections to support water tanks at height. This system provides reliable water pressure through gravity while maintaining structural stability. At Steel & Prefabs, we fabricate SHS water towers designed for strength, safety, and long-term performance.

Unlike light frameworks, an SHS water tower is engineered to carry significant vertical and lateral loads. The square hollow sections provide excellent resistance to buckling, bending, and torsion. That matters when the tank is full and the structure is exposed to wind and weather.

Why SHS Water Towers Are Used

Elevated water storage introduces risk. The higher the tank, the higher the load concentration. Steel water towers made from SHS sections offer predictable structural behavior and consistent load distribution.

Cheap angle-iron towers fail over time. They twist, corrode, or settle unevenly. SHS structures avoid these problems when properly designed and fabricated.

Key Benefits

• Strong SHS steel framework

• High load-bearing capacity

• Stable under wind and dynamic loads

• Suitable for medium to large tanks

• Long service life with corrosion protection

These benefits make SHS water towers suitable for permanent installations.

Common Applications

Water tower (SHS) structures are used in:

• Residential estates and apartments

• Schools, hospitals, and institutions

• Industrial facilities and factories

• Commercial developments

• Rural and municipal water projects

We design and fabricate custom SHS water towers based on tank size, required height, and site conditions. No guessing. No overbuilding.

Built for Load, Safety, and Longevity

A water tower does not forgive design mistakes. Structural failure risks lives and property. At Steel & Prefabs, every SHS water tower is fabricated with proper load calculations, quality welding, and protective coatings.
