Savanna Tanks continues to set the standard for innovative and reliable water storage solutions across Southern Africa. Through its recent work on the WuC NSC Contract No. 1, the company has demonstrated exceptional expertise in delivering customized and modular water tanks that cater to both industrial and rural needs.
The project saw the installation of 13 water storage tanks, ranging in size from 500 kilolitres to 2 megalitres, across six rural villages in Botswana. This comprehensive effort was completed in just seven months, showcasing the efficiency and capability of Savanna Tanks in large-scale projects. Villages such as Dibete, which received a 2 megalitre tanks, as well as Mookane, Leshibitse, and Mmaphashalala, benefited from industrial water storage solutions that will serve their communities for years to come.
A Comprehensive Approach to Water Storage
Savanna Tanks supplied all of the Concrete water Tank components, GS (galvanized steel), and Stainless steel required for this massive project. These materials, combined with the company's innovative design approach, ensured that the tanks were not only durable but also adaptable to the unique environmental conditions of Botswana. By using GS water tanks, Savanna Tanks provided a solution that is both long-lasting and low maintenance, ideal for industrial water storage in harsh climates.
One of the key elements that set Savanna Tanks apart from other providers was the introduction of modular water tanks. These tanks are customizable to fit specific project needs, making them suitable for a variety of applications, from rural communities to large-scale industrial installations. The flexibility offered by modular designs allows for quicker installation, easier transportation, and future scalability, ensuring long-term benefits for clients.
Value Engineering Through Skywalks
In a move that added substantial value to the project, Savanna Tanks introduced the concept of skywalks—elevated walkways that connect tank systems. Originally not part of the project’s initial design, these skywalks were extensively integrated to enhance both safety and functionality. The inclusion of skywalks reduced the need for additional ground-level infrastructure, improving the overall design and reducing costs significantly.
The skywalks have the added benefit of making routine maintenance safer and more accessible, which is particularly important for industrial water tanks in remote areas. This value engineering approach not only improved the safety of the project but also demonstrated Savanna Tanks’ ability to think outside the box, delivering more than just basic water storage tanks.
Comprehensive Manhole Components and Pipe Fittings
In addition to supplying the tanks, Savanna Tanks provided 90% of the manhole components, including GS steel lids, GS vents, and a variety of pipe fittings. By delivering such a high percentage of these essential components, the company ensured that the water storage systems would operate efficiently, with all parts sourced from a single, reliable provider. This comprehensive supply approach also streamlined the construction process, reducing delays and ensuring compatibility across all components.
Meeting Industrial and Community Needs
Savanna Tanks' success in this project underscores its role as a leader in industrial water storage solutions. By combining high-quality materials, innovative designs like the skywalks, and a commitment to value engineering, the company has been able to deliver results that not only meet but exceed the needs of the communities it serves.
For Botswana, and other regions with increasing water demands, Savanna Tanks’ customizable water storage tanks offer an adaptable and scalable solution. Whether for industrial use or community water access, the company’s modular approach ensures that clients receive water storage systems tailored to their unique requirements.
A Trusted Partner in Water Storage
The WuC NSC Contract No. 1 project demonstrates Savanna Tanks' ability to execute complex, large-scale water storage projects on time and within budget. By integrating advanced engineering concepts, providing high-quality materials like GRP & GS water tanks, and offering a comprehensive range of components such as manholes and pipe fittings, Savanna Tanks has established itself as a trusted partner in water infrastructure development.
Looking ahead, Savanna Tanks remains committed to supporting water storage projects across Botswana and the broader Southern African region. The company’s ability to deliver efficient, durable, and safe water storage solutions positions it at the forefront of the industry, ready to tackle future challenges and ensure water security for all.
