What is a Reinforced Concrete Water Tank and How Does It Differ from Standard Tanks?

A reinforced concrete water tank is defined as a circular or square structure made from heavily reinforced concrete, utilizing internal steel bars to reinforce the structure against the immense forces of hydrostatic pressure.

In Saudi Arabia, working conditions differ from other regions; temperatures can exceed 45 degrees Celsius. This is where concrete reinforcement plays a crucial role. Standard concrete cracks under the influence of thermal expansion, whereas a reinforced tank uses a fine steel mesh or thick bars (with wall thickness ranging from 20 to 25 mm in standard designs) to ensure no leakage occurs.

Another essential feature is waterproofing. It is not enough for the tank to be strong; it must also be watertight. We typically use bitumen or epoxy waterproofing materials to prevent water from leaking into the surrounding soil, especially in areas like Riyadh and Dammam where the soil may be sandy.

Why Choose a Reinforced Concrete Water Tank from Yomats?

When discussing durability, not everything sold in the market meets engineering standards. The Yomats tank (850-liter capacity) is specifically designed to operate under 8 bar pressure with a load-bearing capacity reaching up to 25 bar. This means it is not afraid of high pressure resulting from pumps.

The most important point: the replaceable inner liner. In traditional tanks, if the liner becomes contaminated, the tank must be broken or repaired with makeshift solutions. In our products, the liner is made from high-quality EPDM or butyl rubber and can be easily replaced without endangering the concrete structure. This ensures water purity for as long as possible.

What is the Price of a Ready-Made Tank? Can I Build It Myself?

The price of a ready-made concrete water tank is affected by the delivery location and foundation efficiency. For the Yomats tank, prices start from 150 Saudi Riyals, making it a very economical option compared to the cost of building from scratch.

However, if you are considering building an overhead water tank yourself, it requires precise engineering expertise to calculate the quantities of steel and concrete accurately to avoid collapse or cracking later on. Direct delivery from Yomats ensures you get quality execution and materials used, saving you future maintenance costs that could range into thousands of riyals annually.
