FAQ’s
What foundation is needed for a tank?
Steel water tanks require a stable, level base to ensure long-term performance. Smaller tanks can often be installed on a compacted sand bed, while larger capacities typically need a reinforced concrete ring beam or slab foundation.
The foundation prevents uneven settling, supports the tank’s weight when full, and reduces corrosion risk by ensuring proper drainage. Our team provides site preparation guidelines tailored to your chosen tank size.
Do you deliver and install tanks in Burundi?
Yes. FAB Tanks supplies, delivers, and assembles steel water tanks across Burundi. We handle logistics, border clearance, and on-site assembly with trained installation teams. Each project includes full technical support so that your tank is installed correctly and safely according to international standards.
Can tanks be expanded or relocated later?
Yes. Sectional steel tanks are modular by design, which means they can be expanded by adding more panels or relocated if your needs change. This flexibility makes them ideal for growing communities, businesses, and agricultural operations that may need increased capacity in future.
Are tanks safe in heavy rain or storms?
Yes. Our tanks are engineered with strong galvanised steel panels, bracing, and secure roofs designed to withstand harsh African weather conditions, including heavy rain and storms. Proper site preparation and anchoring add further stability.
How quickly can a tank be delivered and installed?
Delivery and installation times depend on the tank size and site location, but most projects are completed within 4 to 6 weeks from order confirmation.
