Savanna Tanks: Elevating Water Storage with Skywalk Innovations in Botswana’s NSC 2.2 Contract



Savanna Tanks has once again proven its position as a leader in the water storage industry, particularly through its collaboration with the Water Utilities Corporation of Botswana in the NSC 2.2 contract. This ambitious project required cutting-edge solutions, and Savanna Tanks delivered not only with its high-quality Steel GS Sectional Tanks, Galvanized Steel Tanks, and Panel Tanks, but also by incorporating advanced skywalk systems—a first in the tank manufacturing industry.


A Groundbreaking Collaboration with Water Utilities Corporation

The NSC 2.2 project, which focuses on expanding and upgrading Botswana’s water infrastructure, is a cornerstone for ensuring reliable water supply across the country. As the primary contractor for tank installations, Savanna Tanks brought its expertise in designing and delivering durable water storage solutions. The incorporation of skywalks was a pivotal development, enhancing the functionality and safety of the tanks and setting a new industry standard for water storage installations.



Skywalks: Innovation that Enhances Safety and Efficiency

In any large-scale infrastructure project, safety and efficiency are paramount. This is particularly true for water storage installations, where regular maintenance and monitoring are critical for operational continuity. The skywalks introduced by Savanna Tanks in the NSC 2.2 project are elevated walkways that significantly improve access to critical areas around the tanks, offering several key advantages:

  • Enhanced Worker Safety: The skywalks ensure safe and secure access to the tank components, eliminating the need for maintenance personnel to walk directly on potentially hazardous catwalks. This feature is especially important for tall tanks and those installed in remote or difficult-to-access locations.

  • Improved Maintenance Efficiency: By providing easy and safe access, the skywalks reduce the time and complexity of inspections and maintenance tasks, ensuring that the tanks remain fully operational with minimal downtime. This is a major benefit for the Water Utilities Corporation, which oversees a vast and growing water supply network.

  • Cost-Effective Solutions: Over the long term, the skywalk system reduces the cost of maintenance and safety management, as fewer resources are needed to ensure the security and functionality of the tanks.

Savanna Tanks is the first manufacturer to incorporate skywalks as a standard feature, and this innovation is particularly suited to projects like NSC 2.2, which demand high standards of safety and operational excellence. The combination of Steel GS Sectional Tanks with this advanced safety feature makes Savanna Tanks the go-to provider for projects of this magnitude.


Steel GS Sectional Tanks: Meeting the Demands of Botswana’s Water Infrastructure

Savanna Tanks' Steel GS Sectional Tanks are designed to withstand the toughest environmental conditions, making them ideal for large-scale infrastructure projects such as NSC 2.2. These tanks are made from galvanized steel, which offers superior resistance to corrosion and wear, ensuring that the tanks have a long operational lifespan even in harsh climates. Additionally, their modular design allows for flexible installation configurations, making them adaptable to various site conditions across Botswana.

With the ongoing expansion of Botswana’s water supply network, these tanks are essential for ensuring that both urban and rural areas have reliable access to water. The Water Utilities Corporation has entrusted Savanna Tanks with this critical task because of the company’s proven track record in delivering robust and efficient water storage solutions.


Galvanized Steel Tanks and Panel Tanks: Adaptability and Durability

In addition to Steel GS Sectional Tanks, Savanna Tanks also provided Galvanized Steel Tanks and Panel Tanks for the NSC 2.2 project. These tanks offer unique benefits:

  • Galvanized Steel Tanks: Known for their excellent corrosion resistance, these tanks are ideal for regions with high humidity or saline conditions. They are particularly well-suited for long-term storage in outdoor environments, ensuring that the Water Utilities Corporation’s investment will stand the test of time.

  • Panel Tanks: Quick to install and easy to transport, Panel Tanks provide a flexible solution for projects requiring rapid deployment. They can be customized to fit a variety of storage capacities, making them an excellent choice for smaller communities or areas with challenging infrastructure.


Savanna Tanks: A Gateway to West Africa

While Botswana remains a critical hub for Savanna Tanks’ operations, the company’s strategic proximity to Walvis Bay in Namibia positions it as a gateway to West Africa. Walvis Bay serves as a vital port for international trade, enabling Savanna Tanks to quickly and efficiently supply its products to countries like Gabon, Guinea, and beyond.

Savanna Tanks recently completed a successful delivery to a gold mine in Guinea, showcasing the company’s ability to manage large-scale projects across borders. This flexibility and reach have made Savanna Tanks a preferred partner not only in Southern Africa but across the continent.

Additionally, Savanna Tanks has played a vital role in supporting healthcare infrastructure by supplying GRP tanks to hospitals in Ghana. These tanks are specifically designed to ensure clean and safe water storage, which is critical in healthcare settings. The company’s focus on quality and reliability has made it a trusted provider for projects where water safety and storage are paramount.
