AquasteelDura Tank
Dura Tank™ · PosMac® flat-panel · Since 1992

Your water.
Under your feet.
In your tank.

Deep-seated groundwater plus an engineered bolted-steel reservoir — for estates, communities and farms done waiting on a municipal pipe that may or may not deliver.

The reason to own your supply

The tap trap

If your only water is the municipal pipe, your estate, farm or business runs on someone else's maintenance schedule. Throttling, outages and tanker weeks aren't emergencies anymore — they're the pattern.

ON THE PIPE ALONE

You wait on the system

Supply is throttled or cut without notice — and your operation stops with it.

Water tankers cost a fortune and arrive on their schedule, not yours.

A plastic tank on a stand buys you hours of buffer, not independence.

Every outage, the same scramble — and the next one is already coming.

WITH A BOREHOLE + DURA TANK

You own the supply

Deep-seated groundwater under your own ground, pumped on your own schedule.

Days of engineered bulk storage — sized to your real demand, not to a catalogue.

PosMac® alloy-coated steel — with an optional AquaGuard potable liner, certified to AS/NZS 4020, when it’s drinking water.

The pipe becomes your backup. Your reservoir becomes the plan.

Water security isn't a bigger buffer. It's owning the source and the storage.

One reservoir. Four kinds of certainty.

Built to make you self-reliant

01 / SCALE

Store big

From a farm reserve to 11.8 million litres in one bolted flat-panel reservoir — Ø 3 to 37 m. Real days of supply, not hours.

02 / PURITY

Potable when you need it

Add the optional AquaGuard 720 g reinforced PVC liner — heat-welded seams, AS/NZS 4020 certified — when the duty is drinking water. Skip it when it isn’t.

03 / ENDURANCE

Built to last

PosMac® zinc-aluminium-magnesium alloy coating with self-healing cut-edge protection — outlasting conventional galvanised in Africa’s toughest conditions.

04 / GROWTH

Grows with you

Bolted and modular — expand, relocate or re-use the same shell as the estate, scheme or farm grows. Storage that keeps up.

The engineering

Cut, punched and rolled in Waltloo, Pretoria. Engineered for African conditions.

Indicative ranges for planning. Every Dura Tank is sized, load-checked and signed off by a professional engineer for your demand, site and wind zone before fabrication. Borehole yield testing and pump design by your drilling contractor or ours. Size your tank in the tool →

Made here. Raised near you.

Local steel, local hands

Cut in Waltloo, Pretoria

Locally manufactured

Not imported in a container. Designed, punched and rolled in our own factory — so panels fit, liners are tailored here, and the engineering answers to us.

  • South African steel, South African manufacture
  • Liners custom-welded for each tank diameter and height
  • Spares, liner service and support a phone call away
  • Three decades of bolted-tank engineering behind every panel
Certified installer network

Partner erected

Your Dura Tank is raised by trained, certified installer teams close to your site — not a crew flown in from far away and billed to you.

Why everyone needs one

Self-reliance, sized to you

The reason is the same everywhere: nobody can afford to run on a supply they don't control. What changes is the scale. A Dura Tank is the water bank behind each of these.

The estate

Homes that keep running

Eco estates, lifestyle developments and body corporates — one borehole, one reservoir, and the outage notice stops mattering.

  • Days of supply for every household
  • Optional potable liner for drinking water
  • Property value backed by water security
The water bank The farm

Land that outlasts drought

Stock water across camps, irrigation reserve, rainwater off every roof — banked in bulk. Rest the borehole; pump off-peak or on solar; feed the farm by gravity.

  • Steady stock water for planned grazing
  • Rain harvested at scale, not lost
  • Megalitres of drought reserve
The business

Doors that stay open

Lodges, schools, clinics, factories and packhouses — operations that stop when the pipe does, unless the reservoir says otherwise.

  • Production and guests protected
  • Fire reserve on the same platform
  • Expandable as the operation grows

Different gates, same principle: own the source, own the storage — and the pipe becomes your backup.

The community scheme model

One borehole.
One reservoir.
Everyone supplied.

Fifty households with fifty plastic tanks are fifty people waiting for a tanker. Fifty households on one borehole and one engineered reservoir are a water scheme.

FIND

Prove the water

A hydrogeologist sites the borehole; drilling and yield testing prove what's really under your ground. Deep-seated water is an asset — treat it like one.

STORE

Size the reservoir

One Dura Tank sized to the scheme's real daily demand plus reserve — potable-lined, engineered, and expandable as members join.

SHARE

Run it together

The body corporate, trust or scheme committee owns the system. Metered draw-offs, shared running costs — and nobody waits on the municipal pipe again.

We'll help you size the reservoir to your combined demand, plan the layout, and phase the build so the scheme grows one ring — and one member — at a time. Talk to us about a scheme →

Self-reliance

Your ground already holds the water. We build the half above it.

A reservoir is more than a purchase. It's the point where your estate, community or farm stops hoping the pipe delivers and starts controlling its own supply — source, storage and all. That's not just convenience. It's independence you can measure in litres. We build the steel. You take back the tap.

Let's size a reservoir for your independence.
