    We understand our clients varied needs and that each project is unique with specific requirements, and are always ready to develop a custom-designed solution. On every project, in every application, we deliver solutions that Build for Better, doing good while doing good business.

    When one of our dealers in the Western Florida Panhandle, required high-capacity fire protection water storage for a military facility, they turned to SBS Tanks USA to deliver a solution that would meet the unique needs. The project, dubbed Project X, was a pioneering hybrid initiative involving a multitude of stakeholders, who collaborated to manage the facility’s development before handing it over to military command. SBS Tanks USA partnered with our distributor to design, manufacture, supply, and install two 44,120-gallon CY12R03 tanks to support the fire protection system at the site. A Unique Collaboration Project X stood out for its collaborative nature, bringing together military and civilian engineers. Our trusted dealer handled the critical components of the fire protection system, including the installation of the pumphouse, piping, automatic sprinkler systems, and alarms, while SBS Tanks USA was tasked with providing the water storage units. The urgency of the project was driven by the need for reliable fire protection at this important military facility, which meant that SBS Tanks USA had to deliver and install the tanks within tight deadlines and ensure compliance with military standards. The tanks, built to SBS’s Cyclonic Range specifications (View our CY range here), were specifically designed for the harsh environmental conditions near the Gulf of Mexico. The site’s proximity to the coast required SBS Tanks USA to install tanks with a 150 MPH wind load rating, essential for withstanding the high winds and storms that frequently hit the region. Overcoming Challenges: Remote Site and Weather Delays The installation presented a range of challenges due to the remote location and the impact of severe weather. The site’s exposed position required meticulous planning to account for the high winds and minimal natural windbreaks. Despite these factors, SBS Tanks USA’s expert installation teams rose to the occasion, adjusting plans to seize the opportunity of a ‘good weather window’ on site. The installation crew, consisting of two five-man teams, worked back-to-back, 12-14 hour shifts to complete the installation in just three-and-a-half days—an impressive feat given the disastrous weather conditions and the scale of the project. This was no ordinary installation. Executive members, including the U.S. CEO, the Group CEO from South Africa, and a fire industry specialist, were on-site to ensure that the installation went smoothly and met the high standards required for the project. Their presence underscored the critical importance of the installation and the need to deliver on time, despite challenges beyond the team’s control. Meeting Stringent Fire Protection Standards The CY12R03 tanks installed for the Project X each have an effective capacity of 39,000 gallons, designed specifically to meet NFPA 22 standards for fire protection (read more about our NFPA 22 compliant Fire tanks here). These tanks offer superior durability, meeting the rigorous requirements of the U.S. fire protection industry. With a diameter of 26’ 10” and a height of 10’ 5”, they provide ample water storage for fire suppression in an area where fast and reliable response times are crucial to ensuring the safety of both personnel and property. Quality Control and Assurance From the factory floor to the final installation, SBS Tanks USA ensured that every aspect of the build met their high-quality standards. Each tank was inspected and checked before leaving the Conroe, Texas warehouse to guarantee that it adhered to the specifications required by the U.S. Military. Quality control did not stop there; having three executive members with over 20 years of combined experience overseeing the installation meant that any issues were resolved on-site immediately. Despite a major hurricane delaying the shipment by over a month, SBS Tanks USA met the project’s deadlines through careful planning and co-ordination. The tanks were ordered, installed, commissioned, and operational within four months, preventing any further delays to the facility’s opening and avoiding costly penalties for the client. Safeguarding Critical Infrastructure Today, Project X stands as a testament to SBS Tanks USA’s ability to deliver exceptional quality, under extreme pressure. The military facility now operates with confidence, knowing that the fire protection system, powered by SBS’s reliable tanks, safeguards this crucial infrastructure from the risk of fire. The tanks continue to perform as designed, providing peace of mind to all stakeholders involved. This project highlights SBS Tanks USA’s commitment to quality, reliability, and meeting the highest standards in fire protection. The successful completion of this project underlines SBS Tanks’ value proposition: providing robust, rapidly installed, and highly durable water storage tanks that outperform expectations in extreme environments.

    In the growing town of Dillon, South Carolina, the Harbor Freight Tools Distribution Center stands as a hub of around the clock activity. As the company prepared to expand its warehouse operations, ensuring robust fire protection became a critical priority. To meet these needs, SBS Tanks USA was called upon to provide a fire protection water storage solution that could meet the stringent safety requirements of a blue-chip company like Harbor Freight Tools. The journey began when Odyssey Fire Protection, based in Wilmington, North Carolina, approached SBS Tanks USA with a challenging request: to design, manufacture, and install a fire protection water storage tank that would seamlessly integrate into the new warehouse expansion. The task was clear—deliver a solution that was not only effective but also adhered to the rigorous health and safety standards that were non-negotiable for this project. Our team at SBS Tanks USA quickly mobilized, drawing upon our extensive experience in fire protection and water storage solutions. The CY19R04 tank, with a usable capacity of 150,000 gallons, was selected for the job. This model, known for its durability and reliability, was the perfect fit for the high stakes of protecting such a vital facility. Adding to the aesthetic appeal, the tank was powder-coated, ensuring it blended well with the surroundings while still maintaining its robust protective qualities. As our team arrived on-site, they were immediately met with the first of several challenges. The installation was scheduled during a period of extreme heat and humidity, which tested the endurance and focus of everyone involved. But this was not the only hurdle. Upon arrival, it was clear that the site was not fully prepared for the commencement of the installation. This could have led to significant delays, potentially causing substantial costs to the customer if the team had been forced to return home. However, SBS Tanks USA is no stranger to overcoming obstacles. Rather than allowing these issues to derail the project, our team quickly collaborated with the site foreman to implement a swift and effective workaround. Within just a few hours, they managed to adjust their plans and begin the installation, turning a potential setback into a demonstration of adaptability and commitment. This quick thinking not only kept the project on track but also underscored our dedication to meeting customer needs, no matter the circumstances. Safety was another paramount concern throughout the installation. The project’s stringent health and safety policies, particularly concerning fall protection and non-permitted confined space safety, required our team to work closely with the site safety manager. Every step of the installation was meticulously planned and executed to ensure compliance with these rigorous standards, reinforcing our commitment to safety and precision. As the project drew to a close, the results spoke for themselves. The tank was installed on schedule and without incident, a testament to the hard work and professionalism of the SBS Tanks USA team. The client was not only relieved but also deeply impressed by the service they received. The speed of installation, the quality of the tank, and the seamless cooperation with site management all contributed to a successful outcome that exceeded expectations.

    Nestled in the serene landscapes of Milano, Texas, SBS Tanks USA joined hands with the Post Oak Savannah Groundwater Conservation District (POSGCD) to promote and enhance the levels of education and understanding of rainwater harvesting within the community. The donated tank stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and community engagement in fostering sustainable water management practices. Ranches, households, and businesses increasingly adopt water storage tanks for rainwater harvesting due to several reasons. Firstly, it facilitates water conservation by collecting and storing water during rainy periods, reducing reliance on traditional sources. Secondly, it leads to significant cost savings by utilizing harvested rainwater for various needs, reducing dependence on expensive supplies. Additionally, rainwater harvesting promotes sustainable water management, contributing to environmental sustainability and enhancing drought resilience. Moreover, harvested rainwater serves outdoor purposes such as irrigation, reducing demand for treated water and fostering healthier plant growth. Lastly, stored rainwater serves as an emergency supply during natural disasters, ensuring continuity of essential services or household functions. A Noble Cause: Promoting Rainwater Harvesting Driven by a shared commitment to environmental conservation, SBS Tanks USA stepped forward to donate a specially designed tank, one of our Lite Range LT05/02 (4 898 gallons), and the installation labor to POSGCD. The district, situated in a rural area abundant with farms and ranches, sought to educate the local community about the importance of rainwater harvesting. With a vision to promote water conservation and reduce reliance on groundwater, POSGCD embarked on a journey to establish a free-standing rainwater system as a teaching device for hands-on learning and application. Innovative Teaching Tools The rainwater harvesting system served not only as a functional water storage solution but also as an invaluable teaching tool. Designed to facilitate hands-on learning, the tank featured both dry and wet systems, providing participants with practical insights into rainwater collection and utilization. Quarterly classes offered attendees the opportunity to earn certification in rainwater harvesting, empowering them to implement sustainable practices on their own properties. Moreover, participants were incentivized with rebates from local authorities upon installing similar systems, further encouraging widespread adoption of rainwater harvesting practices. Overcoming Challenges, Embracing Success Amidst the Texas summer thunderstorms, the construction process faced unexpected hurdles, with two thunderstorms, ironically, inundating the site with rainfall. Despite these challenges, the project persevered, completing set-up in just 1.5 days. Quality assurance and compliance remained paramount throughout, ensuring that the tank met regulatory standards and environmental considerations. The SBS Ranch & Rainwater (RT) Series tank is an agricultural/domestic use grade liquid storage solution designed to provide a long life with little to no maintenance required by the owner. The RT series is the perfect choice for ranches, farms, rural acreage homes and other applications where a full commercial grade tank is not required. Read more about the RT range and key benefits here. The collaboration between SBS Tanks USA and the Post Oak Savannah Groundwater Conservation District in promoting rainwater harvesting serves as a beacon of community engagement and sustainable water management. The donated tank not only provides a functional solution but also serves as an innovative teaching tool to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to implement rainwater harvesting practices. As individuals, ranches, households, and businesses increasingly recognize the benefits of rainwater harvesting, investing in a water storage tank from SBS Tanks USA becomes not just a choice but a commitment to environmental conservation and water sustainability. With each certification earned and each raindrop collected, the project propelled the mission of SBS Tanks USA forward, reaffirming its commitment to providing innovative and sustainable water storage solutions.

    A Clean Slate: Revolutionizing Municipal Waste Management with SBS Tanks In the heart of Melissa, Texas, amidst the expansive landscapes, lies a testament to innovation and engineering excellence: the leachate storage project undertaken by North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD). Tasked with the challenge of managing one of the Lone Star State’s largest water districts, NTMWD, together with its general contractor, BELT construction, sought a solution to the formidable task of containing and treating leachate, the byproduct of landfill sites and often described as the “worst of the worst”. Enter SBS Tanks USA, renowned for its expertise in providing cutting-edge water storage solutions focusing on durability, reliability, and performance. Pioneering a Customized Solution The project’s magnitude was matched only by its complexity. Municipalities across the globe grapple with the formidable task of managing leachate, the liquid residue generated from landfills and dumpsites. Laden with an array of contaminants, leachate poses significant environmental risks if left unaddressed. Without proper containment and management, leachate can seep into the soil and groundwater, polluting ecosystems and jeopardizing public health. To mitigate these risks NTMWD needed a robust storage system capable of withstanding the corrosive nature of leachate while adhering to stringent regulatory standards. Collaborating closely with SBS Tanks USA, engineers embarked on a journey to craft a bespoke solution tailored to NTMWD’s unique requirements. As an alternative to open leachate ponds, the ST21/03 tank served as local storage for up to 100 000 gallons of liquid, before the state-of-the-art pump systems propelled the leachate to treatment plants miles away. With multiple inlets delivering the repulsive liquid into the storage system, four outlets were added directing the fluid to its final destination, either to the pump station or to overhead filling systems for trucks in case of emergencies. Engineering Excellence in Action At the heart of the project lay a dual liner system coupled with a floating roof—a first-of-its-kind innovation in leachate storage. The XR5 liner material, renowned for its chemical resistance and durability, formed the backbone of the system, ensuring the integrity of the storage facility even in the face of harsh environmental conditions. Usually an HDPE lining – a highly chemical resistant plastic, welded together – would be used, but due to the leachate composition and the need for flexibility, the UV impervious and top-notch chemical resistance of the pliable XR5 liner was deemed superior by the three engineering teams on the project. Finally, the floating roof, designed with precision and ingenuity, served as a failsafe barrier against external contaminants, effectively sealing off the tank and safeguarding the surrounding environment. Resourceful Opportunities and Innovation The construction process was nothing short of extraordinary, with SBS Tanks’ engineers from South Africa spending weeks on-site to oversee the meticulous installation. Challenges arose, as they often do in groundbreaking endeavors, but SBS Tanks USA rose to the occasion, leveraging their expertise to devise innovative solutions on the ground with the project’s resourceful teams. The result was a seamless integration of technology and craftsmanship, culminating in a storage facility designed to withstand the rigors of landfill environments, integrating into a larger NTMWD leachate treatment system, that not only met but exceeded expectations. In conclusion, the Melissa leachate storage project stands as a testament to the power of partnership and innovation in addressing the most pressing challenges of our time in environmental stewardship and leaving behind a legacy of innovation and collaboration. By providing a reliable, sustainable solution to NTMWD, SBS Tanks USA reaffirmed its commitment to excellence and its mission to pave the way for a more sustainable future. SBS Tanks USA focuses on superior quality, competitive pricing and delivery, which, through collaboration, provides municipalities with a wealth of expertise and support throughout the project lifecycle, from design and construction to maintenance and monitoring. Our comprehensive solutions empower authorities to meet regulatory compliance, prioritize environmental protection, and achieve their long-term sustainability goals.
