500,000 Litre Coated Steel Water Tank
The 500,000 litre coated steel water tank provides an exceptional level of water storage for large agricultural, horticultural and commercial applications.
Designed for projects where very high storage capacity is required, this tank combines the strength of corrugated galvanised steel with a smart coated finish and a durable internal EPDM liner. With capacity for up to 500,000 litres of water, it offers an effective alternative to installing and connecting numerous smaller tanks.
Its sectional construction means the tank can be supplied in kit form and assembled at its final location, providing a practical approach to creating half a million litres of above-ground water storage.

Heavy-Duty Coated Steel Construction
When storing half a million litres of water, strength and structural integrity are essential.
This tank uses corrugated galvanised steel panels to create a robust supporting structure capable of meeting the demands of extremely high-volume water storage. The galvanised steel is complemented by a coated exterior, giving the tank a smart matt black appearance.
The coated finish can make this model particularly appealing for installations where the appearance of such a large water storage tank needs to be considered alongside its performance.
40% Structural Safety Margin
The tank is designed with a minimum 40% structural safety margin, providing additional strength within its overall construction.
This safety margin relates to the structural capability of the tank rather than additional usable storage. The tank should not be filled beyond its specified maximum water capacity.
Durable Greenseal EPDM Liner
Water is contained within an internal Greenseal EPDM liner, creating a flexible watertight barrier inside the coated steel structure.
EPDM offers excellent UV, abrasion and cut-through resistance while remaining highly flexible, making it particularly well suited to large outdoor water storage installations.
This combination of a strong external steel structure and flexible internal liner provides a practical solution for storing considerable quantities of water.
Ideal for Agricultural and Horticultural Applications
Large farms and horticultural businesses can require considerable quantities of stored water, particularly during periods of intensive irrigation.
With capacity for up to 500,000 litres, this tank can provide a substantial reserve as part of a large irrigation or water management system.
It is particularly suited to sites where water demand is significant and consolidating storage within one large-capacity tank is preferable to installing multiple smaller vessels.
Supplied in Kit Form
Despite its enormous finished capacity, the sectional design allows the tank components to be transported to site before assembly in the final installation position.
This provides a far more practical solution than attempting to transport a fully assembled tank of comparable dimensions.
A photographic instruction manual is provided to assist with assembly. Due to the scale of the finished installation, correct site preparation, suitable foundations and installation requirements should all be carefully considered before ordering and construction.
Designed for Large-Scale Water Storage
With an enormous 500,000 litre capacity, this tank is intended for applications where conventional smaller water tanks simply cannot provide sufficient storage.
Typical applications include:
- Large-scale agricultural water storage
- Rainwater harvesting
- Water recycling
- Crop irrigation
- Horticultural irrigation
- Nurseries and large garden centres
- Sports pitch and playing surface irrigation
- Aquaculture
- Dust suppression systems
- Grey water storage
- Water attenuation
- Emergency water storage
- Commercial bulk water storage
