Water Tanks Bundaberg

Quick Links

Bundaberg is an Australian city on Queensland's coast about 385 kilometres north of the state capital, Brisbane. It's known for Bundaberg Rum, and the Bundaberg Distillery offers museum tours and tastings. On the coast is Mon Repos Regional Park, home to sea turtles, and offshore is Lady Elliot Island, part of the Great Barrier Reef.

For over thirty years, Pioneer Water Tanks have been a premier Bundaberg steel water tank manufacturer and supplier.

Pioneer Water Tank owners in Bundaberg can sit back with the knowledge they have the backing of Australia's number one big tank manufacturer.

The populace of Bundaberg understand their water storage requirements, and due to this, many still turn to a Pioneer Water Tank to help them in meeting their water harvesting needs.

All rainwater tanks manufactured by Pioneer Water Tanks are made right here in Australia, out of Australian BlueScope steel. Pioneer Water Tanks are available in the full range of Colorbond ® colours found below, or in a conventional Zincalume ® finish.

Bushfire preparation

Due to Australia's climate of long hot dry seasons, bushfires are a continuous threat, and Bundaberg is no different. Even with much of the rainfall coming in the summer months, this can result in longer grasses which easily catch alight.

Fire has long been a recognised threat in Queensland, and the Queensland Fire Service was born in 1860, and the first firefighters were employed in the state in 1889. The first fire legislation - the Act to Prevent the Careless Use of Fire 1865 - was enacted some 35 years before federation.

A significant way to plan for the drier months of the year is to ensure that you not only have a bushfire action plan but also that you have enough water storage to assist you and emergency services protect against the threat of wildfires.

A steel water tank can be used as both fire protection and water storage for the home, and Pioneer also offers a fire reserve option for your water tank if needed.

Outperforming all comers in bushfire conditions.

A Pioneer Water Tank performed better than the competition in bushfire simulation when testing was done by the Bushfire and National Hazards CRC in partnership with the CSIRO.

All other tanks tested either melted or split, causing them to lose precious water, however, the Pioneer Water Tank continued to hold water after being exposed to the full 30-minute fire front, which could prove essential to fire fighting efforts.

After a fire front has gone by, the water in your tank can still be used for non-consumptive uses, like watering your lawns, however, it is highly advised to get your water tested as soon as possible to ensure your water is safe before using it for food preparation or drinking.

Whilst rainfall is a refreshing sight throughout this dry nation of ours, changing weather conditions causing heavy storms, and modern infrastructure like asphalt and sidewalks, often results in the build-up of water and flash flooding, which can lead to damage to property and the environment.

The installation of a rainwater tank can be a great tool in assisting to prevent damaging water runoff, and support stormwater systems.

If we suppose the average roof in Bundaberg is 200m2, then in the case of a weather event that dropped 100mm of rainfall, it would only need 100 homes to have installed rainwater tanks to keep over 2 million litres of water from becoming stormwater run off.

Pioneer V-Lock® tank wall profile

The Pioneer V-Lock ® tank wall profile, also exclusive to Pioneer Water Tanks, has been developed with the sole purpose of water storage.

The V-Lock wall profile is designed to put the steel where it is needed most, for the optimum strength and support, along with protecting the tank liner, not just from external debris, but also against stretching or warping from the tank filling and emptying.

It's a design so good, it won an Australian Design Award for its remarkable strength and internal support, along with its aesthetically pleasing appearance.
