How Polycom Supplied a Durable Underground Water Tank Solution for a UAE Project

Situation

In the UAE, the need for efficient water storage has to be addressed without sacrificing precious surface space for many construction and commercial projects. Ground water storage may be an appropriate option but requires a suitable tank for the project size, dimensions, installation and long-term needs.

In this case, the client was looking for a dependable underground water tank for a UAE project. The requirement was not simply to source a storage container, but to find a solution that could provide the required capacity while being suitable for underground installation and the project's specific site conditions.

The client had to be assured of the quality of the material and construction of the tank as well. The choice of a water tank supplier UAE projects can rely on is even more critical when the previous concerns are added for leakage and durability, creating extra maintenance needs and project complications.

To meet this requirement, Polycom Plastic Industries first evaluated the project requirements and suggested an underground polyethylene tank solution that matched the application.
