Underground Tank Construction

Underground Tank Construction

We specialize in the design and construction of heavy-duty underground storage tanks for storing water, chemical effluents, and process fluids. Constructed with high-density reinforced concrete, our tanks are engineered to resist high external soil and groundwater pressures.

To ensure zero leakage, we apply advanced crystalline waterproofing admixtures, food-grade internal linings, and expansion waterstops at all construction joints. Our tanks undergo strict hydraulic testing to ensure long-term structural integrity and environmental safety.

100% leak-proof construction with crystalline waterproofing.Designed to withstand heavy surcharge loads and high groundwater tables.Corrosion-resistant linings suitable for industrial effluents.

Withstanding High Groundwater Buoyancy

Empty underground tanks are subject to immense upward buoyant force from groundwater, which can lift the structure. We design heavy base slabs and anchoring systems to counter buoyancy and secure the tank in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you test underground tanks for leaks?

We conduct a hydro-test by filling the tank with water for 72 hours and monitoring water levels and external walls for dampness.

Yes, we apply specialized chemical-resistant liners (like epoxy or FRP) and double-wall containment to safely store hazardous fluids.

We install PVC or swellable waterstops at all construction joints to form a continuous barrier against water penetration.
