Water Tanks Gungahlin

Quick Links

Gungahlin is a suburb in the Canberra district with the same name. Gungahlin is the name for the entire district, and also the town centre, but it is also the name of the suburb which Gungahlin Town Centre is in.

Each and every Pioneer Water Tank built in Australia is made from Australian made and sourced BlueScope Steel, and manufactured in the Australian Pioneer Water Tanks facility. Pioneer Water Tanks are offered in either a conventional Zincalume ® finish, or in the full range of Colorbond ® colours listed below.

Bushfire preparation

Whilst a lot of the ACT appears lush and green, it actually registers one of the lowest rainfalls of the capital cities, meaning like much of Australia the area is prone to widespread bushfires in the hot summer months.

Smoke haze became synonymous with the 2019/2020 Australian summer, and on 1 January 2020, Canberra had the worst air quality of any major city in the world, as fires both in and outside of the territory caused comprehensive damage.

An important way to get ready for the drier summer months is to ensure that you not only have a bushfire action plan but also that you have adequate water storage to help you and emergency services protect against the threat of fire.

Pioneer Water Tanks offers the option of a fire reserve in your tank, to ensure it can be used for both household water storage and fire protection.

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.

After 30 minutes of submersion in flame, the Pioneer Water Tank continued to hold water, a vital feature for firefighting efforts, while the other tanks tested either melted or split, causing their water to be partially or fully lost.

After a fire front has gone by, the water in your tank can still be used for non-consumptive purposes, like irrigating your gardens, 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.

In a nation that is known for being as dry as Australia, it is not a surprise that the majority of people take delight at the idea of rainfall, however changing weather conditions that lead to unpredictable storms, paired with modern infrastructure such as roads and footpaths can bring about stormwater runoff and flash flooding.

Installing a rainwater tank and sufficient guttering can help alleviate struggling stormwater systems from some of the rainfall, and assist in decreasing the likelihood of flash flooding.

In the event of a storm that caused 100mm of rainfall in just 24 hours, it would take just one hundred homes with water tanks and adequate guttering to prevent 2 million litres of stormwater runoff from entering storm drains and roads.
