Fire Protection Water Tank Installation at BMP Specialist Headquarters in Austin, Texas – with NFPA 22 Compliance & Aesthetics in Mind
At the heart of Austin, Texas, innovation meets craftsmanship at BMP Specialist – a family-owned company driven by a passion for delivering the highest quality metal and roofing products. Known for their precision, reliability, and dedication to customer satisfaction, BMP has built a reputation for integrity, teamwork, and excellence. Their mission is simple yet powerful: to provide quality products that customers trust while constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in metal-building solutions.
To safeguard their expanding operations and ensure business continuity, BMP Specialist invested in a robust fire protection system. Partnering with SBS Tanks USA, a global leader in modular steel water storage solutions, BMP added a 204,000-gallon, ST17R07 fire protection water tank to their Austin headquarters. This installation ensures they meet strict fire safety compliance standards while reinforcing their commitment to protecting both people and property.
As BMP continues to grow, safety and risk management are vital to sustaining operations. A fire emergency could threaten not only infrastructure but also the company’s ability to serve its customers and live up to its values. By installing an SBS fire protection tank, BMP demonstrates foresight and responsibility, aligning safety with their broader mission of delivering reliability and peace of mind to customers.
But this project went beyond functionality. BMP Specialist required a fire protection tank that not only met safety requirements but also complemented the architectural design of their modern headquarters. Austin – known for its vibrant culture, stunning natural beauty, and strong tradition of landscape architecture – provided the perfect backdrop for this challenge. From native wildflowers to oak-filled parks, Austin’s architectural and landscape design philosophy celebrates both function and aesthetics, and this tank project needed to do the same.
The chosen tank offers a large-capacity, rapid-response water reserve designed to meet fire authority requirements. With its modular design and quick installation process, SBS Tanks provided BMP with a solution that was not only efficient but also adaptable to the specific needs of their site.
The tank design underwent independent review and approval by licensed state structural engineers, who simulated load conditions, analyzed the structure, and stamped the certified plans. This step ensured full compliance with both local building codes and NFPA 22 fire protection standards.
Additionally, the tank was engineered with durability and longevity in mind. Manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified facility, SBS Tanks are built with hot-dipped galvanized steel panels and a liner-based system that provides long-term water security with minimal maintenance.
The installation process was smooth and efficient:
The partnership between BMP Specialist and SBS Tanks goes beyond infrastructure. Both companies share core values of quality, trust, and long-term reliability. Just as BMP delivers precision-engineered metal products designed to last, SBS Tanks provides durable, internationally certified fire protection tanks that perform in critical moments.
For BMP, having a trusted fire water storage solution means more than compliance – it means ensuring their workforce, facilities, and reputation remain protected as they continue to scale their business. For SBS Tanks, it’s about empowering businesses like BMP to operate with confidence, knowing they have reliable water storage at their side. Both the client and contractor commended the project for its professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail – earning SBS Tanks USA another ‘notch in the belt’ with a reputation as a trusted partner in fire protection solutions.
The installation of the SBS fire protection water tank at BMP Specialist’s headquarters represents more than just a safety upgrade. It’s a symbol of BMP’s commitment to its people, its customers, and its future. By choosing SBS Tanks, BMP now has the peace of mind that their operations are safeguarded against fire risks – allowing them to focus on innovation, customer service, and growth.
