Company «TechPolymer» has launched active production of modular underground tanks «AquaBOX» (СТО 56910145-053-2022), made of mineral-filled polypropylene. This solution combines practicality, cost-effectiveness and ease of installation, offering an alternative to traditional fibreglass and polyethylene tanks.
Key advantages of «AquaBOX»:
1. Optimised logistics and storage
-
Compact transportation: the modules are transported disassembled, allowing two 60 m³ tanks to be loaded into a standard European truck.
-
Delivery savings: no special transport for oversized cargo is required, reducing costs.
-
Convenient storage: the modules can be stacked, taking up minimal warehouse space.
2. Fast production and convenient installation
-
High production speed: up to 400 m³ per day, significantly faster than manufacturing fibreglass equivalents.
-
Easy assembly: each module weighs 125 kg, allowing installation using a crane truck or forklift without heavy equipment.
-
Configuration flexibility: the tank capacity can be easily increased in multiples of 5 m³ depending on project requirements.
3. Reliability and environmental performance
-
Repairability: if necessary, a damaged module can be replaced without dismantling the entire structure.
-
Environmentally friendly material: polypropylene can be recycled, unlike fibreglass.
-
Production safety: the manufacturing process does not produce toxic emissions.
4. Strength and leak-tightness
-
Installation depth: up to 3 m, meeting most technical requirements.
-
Joint leak-tightness: ensured by gaskets or sealant, while bolted connections ensure structural stability.
Installation process
-
Base preparation.
-
Installing the modules to form rings.
-
Tightening the rings and securing them with bolts.
-
Sealing the joints.
