WATER TANKS FOR Healesville

Water Tanks Healesville

Healesville Water Tanks

Healesville is a town in Victoria, Australia, 52 km north-east from Melbourne and roughly twice that far north-west of the city of Traralgon.

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

Pioneer Water Tank owners in Healesville rest easy in the knowledge they have the backing of Australia's number one big tank manufacturer.

Although much of the rest of the country hold the belief that Victoria is a verdant land of ample rains, people in Victoria know better, and understand their water storage needs.

Water Tanks to Suit Every Need

Water Tank Colours

Every Pioneer Water Tank built in Australia is made from Australian made and sourced BlueScope Steel, and manufactured in the Australian Pioneer Water Tanks facility. Pioneer Water Tanks are available in either a basic Zincalume ® finish, or in the full range of Colorbond ® colours seen below.

Water Tank Sizes

Pioneer Water Tanks offer a range of water tank sizes, from 12kL to 500kL for our range of rural and residential tanks, and up to a whopping 3 million litres or more for our industrial and commercial water tanks.

No matter your water storage needs, Pioneer Water Tanks has the water tank that is right for you, in both size and durability.

An Ongoing Battle with the Elements

The Healesville climate

Rainwater run-off and flooding

While many people across our dry nation relish the sight of rain, evolving weather conditions, and modern infrastructure have led to increasing cases of storm water run off and flash flooding.

If Healesville received 100mm of rain in a twenty-four hour downpour, it would require just one hundred homes to have water tanks to prevent 2 million litres of water from entering stormwater systems and contributing to stormwater runoff and flooding damages.

Bushfire preparation

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

It is important in any non-urban setting to ensure that you are doing the best you can to protect yourself from bushfire. You can do this by ensuring that you have a bushfire action plan, as well as sufficient water storage for fire fighting purposes.

Pioneer Water Tanks offers the option of a fire reserve in your tank, to ensure it can be used for both domestic water storage and fire protection.

Outperforming all comers in bushfire conditions

The CSIRO performed bushfire simulation tests on water tanks in collaboration 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 precious water, however the Pioneer Water Tank continued to hold water after being exposed to the full 30 minute fire front, which could prove important to fire fighting efforts.

After a fire front has gone by, the water in your tank can still be used for non-consumptive purposes, like watering your gardens, however, it is highly recommended to get your water tested as soon as possible to ensure your water is safe before using it for food preparation or drinking.

The Pioneer Water Tanks Difference

Pioneer V-Lock ® tank wall profile

Designed for toughness and for the sole purpose of water storage, the Pioneer V-Lock ® tank wall profile is also a Pioneer Water Tanks exclusive.

The V-Lock profile is designed both for strength and to safeguard the tank liner, by preventing stretching and wear, and the sheets are engineered to the ideal thickness for each panel, meaning we put the steel where it's required most.

Don't just take our word for it, the design is so sound, it won an Australian Design Award for its durability and appearance.
