Nicholson Water Tanks

Nicholson is a small town in East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia, 295 km east of the state capital Melbourne. It is situated between the larger towns of Bairnsdale and Lakes Entrance.

Pioneer Water Tanks have been the leading Nicholson water tank supplier and manufacturer for more than 30 years.

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

Despite the external view that Victoria is a green and rainy state all over, people of Victoria know better, and are mindful of their water storage needs.

An Ongoing Battle with the Elements

The Nicholson 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 asphalt and cement, often leads to the build-up of water and flash flooding, which can cause damage to property and the environment.

If Nicholson received 100mm of rain in a 24 hour downpour, it would require just one hundred houses to have water tanks to prevent two million litres of water from entering stormwater systems and resulting in stormwater runoff and flooding damages.

Bushfire preparation

Australia is famous across the globe for its long hot summers, and excluding the uninhabitable Antarctica, is the driest continent in the world. Pairing this with the way many Australian plants behave, much of Victoria is susceptible to large scale wildfires.

It is important in any rural 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.

So as to ensure your water tank can be used for the purposes of both domestic or property water storage, and fire protection, Pioneer Water Tanks offers the option of a fire reserve.

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.

After 30 minutes of submersion in flame, the Pioneer Water Tank continued to hold water, a critical feature for firefighting efforts, while the other tanks tested either melted or split, causing their water to be partially or fully lost.

If your water tank has been subjected to fire, it is important to ensure that you get your water tested as soon as possible to ensure that it is safe for food preparation or drinking. The water would, however, still be suitable 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 profile is designed both for sturdiness and to protect 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 needed most.

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.
