Tanks Specification
Versatile Tank Company’s is totally committed to achieving excellence in the manufacture and supply of structurally designed precast rectangular and square HDC concrete and associated products for water storage, septic, black water, oil
water gas exchange systems, OSD tanks, retention tanks , blackwater and waste water disposal and storm water applications to all sectors of the construction industry.
Versatile Tanks main manufacturing base is in New South Wales. We are heavily involved in the Research and Development programs directed at concrete and structural designed reusable engineered steel moulds. Versatile Tanks produces all
concrete products using HSC 50mpa concrete, using a high frequency vibration method, low water ratio, high slump enabling our concrete finishes to look and feel like glass inside and outside. This method of manufacturing has opened many
optional avenues for usage of our larger 4400mm long x 2600mm high, x 2400mm wide and medium 2400mm x 2400mm x 2400mm units such as security units, storm water, black water, grey water, earth retaining structures, magazines for
explosive storage.
