Forms of fire protection water storage
Thread Content
In design, is a fire water storage tank or a fire reservoir more commonly used? The fire water tank needs to be waterproof, and the pump room is semi-underground. Is the cost of this approach lower than that of using fire tanks?
Low, one is digging pits and the other is building large storage tanks.
Generally, digging pools is more common, and the cost is relatively lower.
It can be said that there are advantages and disadvantages on both sides; it depends mainly on the specific conditions of the project. For example, in our crude oil storage area, fire water tanks are used, with a capacity of 5,000 cubic meters. At that time, the difficulty of constructing fire water ponds was considered high, and the costs involved were also significant; that’s why fire water tanks were chosen instead
Fire water tanks are expensive, but they save space, and land is extremely valuable in many places these days! :hug:
Under normal circumstances, the construction cost of a fire water tank is lower than that of a fire water reservoir, but this is not absolute； In areas with high groundwater levels, the option of using an underground pump room along with a fire water tank may result in higher costs compared to building a fire water tank of the same capacity, as the costs associated with dewatering and protective measures during construction in such areas are very high. For reference!
