Versatile Tanks manufactures concrete rectangular and square vaults modified suit various applications for the Defence Force.

These units are fully engineered and designed to withstand applied loads.

The units all have load ratings of 5kpa per square meter both on the walls and over the lid.

We offer 2 new lid designs:

1. New lid design especially designed to give way at the upper weakest extremity of the convex roof design. This has many benefits for the explosive industry, as it is aimed at reducting flying debris should there be an explosion, the weakest point will give way first reducing damage externally. Less debris and lighter pieces of concrete mean less opportunity for potential damage this roof has a 2kpa per square meter load rating, walls still have the full 5kp..

2. Flat roof design can have the ventilation as per AS2187 extended so that natural earth can be placed on the roof to assist in maintaining a constant temperature for the explosives stored.
