In the heart of North Carolina’s thriving poultry industry, where animal welfare, food safety, and operational efficiency are top priorities, water isn’t just a necessity – it’s the lifeline of the entire business. For one commercial poultry farm in Waxhaw, NC, an urgent well water shortage threatened to disrupt production, impacting bird health and day-to-day operations. That’s where SBS Tanks USA stepped in – delivering a rapid-response steel water tank solution that not only met the farm’s immediate needs but reinforced their future resilience.
PROJECT SNAPSHOT
Project Name: Waxhaw Commercial Poultry Farm
Location: Waxhaw, North Carolina, USA
Industry Sector: Agriculture
Tank Model: LT08R03
Capacity: 18,231 gallons
Timeline: Delivered and installed in just 1.5 days
North Carolina is one of the United States’ leading poultry states – ranking #1 nationally in poultry and egg cash receipts, and #2 in turkey production. The state produces over 900 million broilers and 4 billion eggs annually, contributing nearly $40 billion to the local economy. With its favorable climate, well-developed transport networks, and access to local feed sources, North Carolina is uniquely positioned to support high-output poultry farming. But even in this ideal setting, reliable water access remains a critical – and sometimes vulnerable – component of operations. For this Waxhaw-based commercial poultry farm, their on-site well could no longer supply enough water to sustain the flock. With water essential for regulating bird temperature, supporting nutrient transport, and maintaining hygiene, delays weren’t an option.
Facing a time-sensitive challenge, the farm turned to SBS Tanks USA for a fast, professional solution.
“The client needed a tank – fast. Their poultry operation depended on it. We were able to mobilize stock and install the LT08R03 tank in just 1.5 days, ensuring no interruption to their water supply,” says Brian Wilson, CEO SBS Tanks USA.
The LT (Lite) Series tank range from SBS was the perfect fit. Designed for rapid installation and cost-effective reliability, the LT08R03 tank offered 18,231 gallons of water storage – ample supply to stabilize the farm’s operations. Read more about our LT range online here.
From the moment the order was placed, the SBS team prioritized quick turnaround:
While the steel water tank didn’t require major custom features, its modular design, galvanized steel cladding, and liner-based sealing system made it an ideal match for the farm’s needs. The system is low-maintenance, long-lasting, and built to withstand both the demands of daily agricultural use and the local North Carolina climate.
A Reliable Future for Flock Care and Farm OperationsFor North Carolina’s poultry producers, animal care and food safety are non-negotiable. Farmers provide their flocks with 24/7 access to clean water, maintain temperature-controlled environments, and consult with vets and nutritionists to ensure optimal flock performance.
The Waxhaw farm’s new water storage system now plays a key role in maintaining these high standards – helping the farm:
The SBS Tanks installation not only met expectations – it exceeded them. The customer was highly satisfied with the professionalism, speed, and value delivered by the SBS team.
This installation is more than just another tank – it’s a symbol of SBS Tanks’ commitment to serving America’s critical industries.
