Our qualified engineering personnel and network of independent consulting engineers provide high-quality professional design and support services. This allows our network to provide localized service, backed by a worldwide company. Our efficient quoting process can take care of everything from the design to the accredited installation, configured to the project needs.
Example of a Pioneer Water Tank Configured for Commercial Fire Protection
This example of a Pioneer Water Tank that has been configured for fire protection with more options added on that is typically required. Project requirements are based on the location, local authority, and application of water usage.
Pioneer Water Tanks are engineered to NFPA 22 standards for water storage for fire protection. The tank body and roof are made of Zincalume® Steel, which is proven to withstand fire immersion. Our full lines of firefighting adapters and nozzles are compatible with fire hoses across North America.
Pioneer Water Tanks can be configured for cyclonic and seismic conditions, as well as heavy industrial zones. Additional accessories are available for different compliance needs. Outfit your tank with anti-vortex fittings and firefighting adapters for quick access during a fire emergency.
Commercial and residential properties that do not have an adequate water supply for local authority requirements can be supplied with a water storage tank for a building permit. We offer optional engineering packages for the permit process when needed. Our engineering packages are based on the project and application.
We Provide the Engineering to Help the Permit Process
Residential and commercial buildings may require supplemental water storage for fire protection for a building permit. The fire flow, the flow rate of the water supply necessary for firefighting, is determined by the local fire authority. When the existing municipal water supply, or the lack thereof, does not meet these requirements then a Pioneer Water Tank can be provided.
Having a Pioneer Water Tank for fire protection can greatly improve emergency support efforts with hose connections and firefighting nozzle adapters. The use of a fire protection water system may also be required or help to improve insurance for the property.
