San Antonio is a small but ambitious city in Pasco County, Florida. Nestled near the I-75 and State Road 52 interchange, this rapidly growing region is buzzing with plans to become a major hub for development, industry, and community life. With thousands of new jobs on the horizon and a state-of-the-art town center in progress, infrastructure must scale quickly and reliably to achieve this vision – including critical fire protection.
That’s where SBS Tanks® comes in.
DoubleBranch is one of the largest developments of its kind in the region, projected to include:
• 4 million square feet of industrial space
• 725,000 square feet of office space
• 400,000 square feet of retail space
• 3,500 residential units
With such a significant development footprint, safety and regulatory compliance were paramount – both in terms of fire protection and construction execution.
The SBS team supplied and installed a CY17R05 Cyclonic Series water tank, offering 146,280 gallons of capacity and engineered for NFPA 22 compliance. The tank’s primary function is to feed the fire sprinkler system, ensuring the development remains safeguarded against fire-related risks from day one.
Located in a hurricane-prone region, the DoubleBranch site required a tank solution that was engineered for extreme weather conditions. The Cyclonic tank series was an ideal match, purpose-built to withstand wind speeds of up to 150 mph – a critical design consideration for regions prone to tropical storms, hurricanes, and high-velocity wind events.
To meet Florida’s strict building code, the tank design was independently reviewed and certified by licensed structural engineers. All calculations, loading simulations, and component analyses were stamped and sealed to meet state-specific engineering requirements, giving the developer and contractor peace of mind that the structure was safe, resilient, and regulation-ready.
What truly set this project apart was SBS Tanks’ commitment to site safety and professionalism.
With stringent HS&E protocols enforced throughout the site, SBS deployed an OSHA-certified supervisor to lead the tank installation. Our team followed all best practices and procedures as outlined in OSHA’s 29 CFR 1926 standards for construction safety – from PPE enforcement and hazard communication to fall protection and proper equipment operation.
Thanks to these rigorous safety measures, SBS Tanks and our local Florida dealer were recognized as the “best contractor onsite.” This statement, mentioned by the site manager upon completion, reflected our unwavering dedication to safe, efficient, and professional execution.
As with all projects, we provided a comprehensive Site Safety File, including Risk assessments, Method statements, Emergency response procedures and other Training records & safety checklists. These documents reflect our systematic approach to safety – not just on paper, but in practice, every day on site.
Installation of the tank foundation was completed by the contractor and ready on the first day of installation. The SBS team arrived on schedule and executed the tank assembly and commissioning without delay. With no unexpected challenges or disruptions, the project moved smoothly through all key phases, ensuring that from delivery to final sign-off, the entire process was safe, seamless, and professionally managed.
The technical highlights of the CY17R05 fire protection tank include:
• 146,280-gallon capacity
• Cyclonic wind-rated shell – up to 150mph
• Leakproof internal liner
• Hot-dip galvanized steel structure
• Minimal maintenance design
• Certified to NFPA 22 and local building codes
Manufactured in an ISO 9001:2015 accredited facility, each tank component is precision engineered for durability and performance, then packed and shipped for rapid on-site installation. This isn’t the first time SBS Tanks has partnered with growing communities in the U.S. to provide fire protection tanks to enhance fire safety. Similar projects include installations for Tractor Supply Co. in Florida, Cargill in Texas, and Harbor Freight Tools in South Carolina – all reinforcing our reputation for nationwide reliability and rapid response.
By installing the tank safely, quickly, and in full compliance with all regulatory and safety standards, SBS Tanks contributed to the larger vision of the DoubleBranch development: building a safe, thriving, and sustainable community.
The tank is now fully operational, providing a critical safety backbone for the development’s fire suppression infrastructure. The client and contractor were both highly satisfied – not only with the product itself, but with the professionalism, preparedness, and safety-first attitude of the SBS team.
As reported by The Lions’ Pride Media Group, the new town centers in San Ann and across Pasco County are bringing over 6,000 new jobs, thanks to ongoing developments in the region. As Pasco County accelerates its economic and infrastructural development, having a fire protection tank that can be deployed quickly and perform reliably is crucial.
At SBS Tanks, we don’t just build tanks. We build trust, by consistently delivering on quality, timelines, and compliance – even on the most regulated, high-stakes job sites. From storm-rated design and NFPA compliance to OSHA-certified supervision and real-world site safety implementation, our work at DoubleBranch in San Antonio, Florida, stands as another proud example of what we do best: delivering water storage solutions that meet the highest standards – and raising the bar for safety and service in the process.
