Buitink Technology develops and manufactures flexible, mobile large-capacity water tanks in-house. The mobile XXL water tank for firefighting water has a capacity of no less than 1,000 m³.

Applications

• Temporary storage of large volumes of water
• Water buffer during floods or flooding
• Temporary buffer capacity for industry
• Storage of process water
• Emergency storage during disasters
• Water management for construction and infrastructure projects
• Temporary solution at sites without permanent storage capacity

Firewater Storage

This type of water reservoir offers a robust and flexible solution for storing firewater. It can be easily installed at strategic locations, such as near forests with an increased risk of wildfires, or near villages and other areas where fire poses a significant risk or could cause extensive damage.

Advantages

• Easy to transport to locations with an increased fire risk
• Suitable for forested areas, villages, and hard-to-reach regions
• Can be used for temporary storage and immediate firefighting operations
• Can be refilled while firefighting water is being used
• Large storage capacity of 1,000 m³ of firefighting water
• Reliable water supply for large-scale fires

A mobile water reservoir for firefighting water offers flexibility in firefighting at locations where no permanent water supply is available. Thanks to its large capacity and mobile design, the reservoir can be quickly deployed for wildfires, industrial risks, or temporary fire safety solutions.

Technical specifications

Overall diameter:	+/- 23 m
Height:	+/- 3,5 m
Volume:	1.000 m³
Empty weight:	approx. 2.500 kg

Use and installation

The mobile water tank can be easily set up and folded when not in use. Thanks to its low weight when empty, the reservoir can be quickly transported and installed. Its large capacity and flexibility make it suitable for use in challenging conditions where quick and reliable access to fire-fighting water is required.

Extinguishing with water from water tank

Additional features

• Use of height difference for additional water pressure: by strategically placing the reservoir, the natural difference in altitude can be used to generate additional water pressure during firefighting operations.
• Multiple filling options and connections: the reservoir is equipped with several filling hoses, which allows the reservoir to be filled quickly and efficiently from different water sources. Fire hoses can also be connected directly to the reservoir, allowing extinguishing directly from the reservoir.

Buitink Technology thus offers a solution that is not only quick to deploy, but also durable and efficient when fighting fires in areas that are difficult to access or at increased risk.
