Elevated tanks

Elevated tanks are designed to store water at height, allowing gravity to provide steady water pressure without the need for constant pumping. They are widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial projects where reliable water distribution is critical. At Steel & Prefabs, we fabricate steel elevated tanks built for safety, stability, and long-term performance.

An elevated water tank combines a storage tank with a supporting steel structure. Both elements must work together. Weak design in either part leads to failure. This is not an area for shortcuts.

Why Elevated Tanks Matter

Water pressure depends on height. Overhead water tanks ensure consistent flow even during power outages. They reduce reliance on pumps and improve system efficiency.

Poorly designed elevated tanks can tilt, crack, or collapse under load. That risk increases with height and capacity. Proper engineering eliminates these problems.

Key Benefits

• Reliable water pressure through gravity

• Strong steel support structures

• Suitable for large-capacity storage

• Reduced dependence on pumping systems

• Long service life with proper coating

These benefits make steel elevated tanks a practical solution for long-term water storage.

Common Applications

Elevated tanks are used in:

• Residential apartments and estates

• Commercial buildings and offices

• Industrial facilities and factories

• Hospitals, schools, and institutions

• Fire-fighting water storage systems

We fabricate custom elevated tanks based on capacity, height, and site conditions. This ensures safe installation and dependable operation.

Built for Load and Safety

An elevated tank carries massive weight when full. Structural failure puts lives and property at risk. At Steel & Prefabs, elevated tanks are designed with proper load calculations, quality welding, and corrosion protection.
