WATER TANKS FOR Bairnsdale

Water Tanks Bairnsdale

Bairnsdale Water Tanks

Bairnsdale is a city in East Gippsland, in a region traditionally owned by the Tatungalung clan of the Gunaikurnai people. The city is a major regional centre of eastern Victoria along with Traralgon and Sale and the commercial centre for the East Gippsland region.

For over thirty years now, Pioneer Water Tanks have been building and designing water tanks Bairnsdale can depend on.

The backing and history of Australia's number one big tank company, means that people in Bairnsdale can be satisfied with their water storage solutions.

Victoria is often seen from the outside as a rainy green state all over, however, residents know better, and have their water supply requirements in mind.

An Ongoing Battle with the Elements

The Bairnsdale climate

Rainwater run-off and flooding

Whilst rainfall is a welcome sight across this dry nation of ours, changing weather conditions causing heavy storms, and modern facilities such as bitumen and concrete, often results in the build-up of water and flash flooding, which can cause damage to property and the environment.

If 100mm of rain fell on Bairnsdale in just twenty-four hours, in order to prevent two million litres of rainfall from entering stormwater systems, it would call for just 100 homes fitted with rainwater tanks and appropriate guttering.

Bushfire preparation

Australia's famed hot summer weather and year round sunshine comes at a cost, with the nation holding the title of the driest (non-Antarctica) continent on earth. This comes with the unwanted risk of widespread bushfires across the country.

Along with having a bushfire action plan, an important way to prepare for the dry summer months is to ensure that you have sufficient water storage to help safeguard you from the threat of fire, and a Pioneer Water Tank helps provide that protection.

A steel water tank can be used as both fire protection and water storage for the home, and Pioneer also provides a fire reserve option for your water tank if needed.

Outperforming all comers in bushfire conditions

The CSIRO perfomed bushfire simulation tests on water tanks in partnership with the Bushfire and National Hazards CRC, and the results showed that a steel Pioneer Water Tank held up better than the competition.

All other tanks tested either melted or split, causing them to lose valuable water, however the Pioneer Water Tank continued to hold water after being exposed to the full 30 minute fire front, which could prove critical to fire fighting efforts.

If your water tank has been exposed to fire, it is important to ensure that you get your water tested as soon as possible to make sure that it is safe for food preparation or drinking. The water would, however, still be appropriate for purposes like watering gardens or lawns.

The Pioneer Water Tanks Difference

Pioneer V-Lock ® tank wall profile

The Pioneer V-Lock ® tank wall profile has been engineered for toughness, and created with the sole purpose of water storage in mind.

The V-Lock wall profile is designed to put the steel where it is needed most, for the optimal strength and support, as well as protecting the tank liner, not just from external debris, but also against stretching or warping from the tank filling and emptying.

It's a design so good, it won an Australian Design Award for the superior strength and internal support, along with its aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Aqualiner Fresh ® antimicrobial water tank liner

Proven to prevent the growth of undesirable bacteria in your water tank, the Aqualiner Fresh ® water tank liner is the only antimicrobial water tank liner available on the market, and a Pioneer Water tanks exclusive.

Utilising Sanitized ® technology, the Aqualiner Fresh ® water tank liner has the antibacterial properties of silver woven into the tank liner.

The industry leading water tank liner is made up of five layers that make up the strongest, cleanest and most scientifically advanced water tank liner on the market.

Bairnsdale Local Insight

Local knowledge

The origin of the city's name is uncertain. It was possibly Bernisdale, with "Bernis-dale" originating from "Bjorn's dale, or glen", which indicates the Viking origins of the Skye Village. Legend has it that Macleod was so impressed by the large number of children on the run, the children of his stockmen, that he called it Bairns-dale, or "valley of the children". The Ganai name for the area, 'Wy-yung', refers to a kind of duck and the name for Bairnsdale backwater area is 'Kauan' meaning echidna.

The Gunaikurnai people are the traditional owners of Gippsland. There are approximately 3,000 Gunaikurnai people, and the territory includes the coastal and inland areas to the southern slopes of the Victorian Alps. Gunaikurnai people are made up of five major clans, of which the Tatungalung are owners of the region in which Bairnsdale is located.
