The Challenge

Australian tanks teamed up with Jolex and Badge Construction to create a solution to the University of Sunshines Coasts’ water retention program.

The University of Sunshine Coast was looking to retain some of their rainwater to utilise throughout the facility, saving them costs on water use and allowing the facility to be more sustainable. 

The site was using symphonic down pipes and needed to be sure that the retention system was compatible.

The Solution

Australian Tanks installed 8 x 25kL round tanks in-ground on the site and incorporated a syphon break tank as per the requirements of the system. This allows a total retention capacity of 200kL.

The Results

The rainwater retention tanks were installed quickly and immediately trafficable so to minimise the impact on access to the site. The University of Sunshine Coast now has 200kL more usable fresh rainwater to minmise their environmental impact.

John R Keith Group
  • Greenbank Training Area, Greenbank, Qld
  • Water Harvesting & Storage
John R Keith (Plumbing Contractor and our client) approached Australian Tanks to offer an alternative solution to the more expensive extra heavy duty tank option which was specified in the Hydraulic plans. The original option in the plans also showed (1) a combination of transport cost challenges, (2) requiring additional work to get the initial tanks rated to take heavy traffic loads, and (3) the need to have considerable cover over the tanks to meet Invert Levels for the site.
