Construction Water towers fulfill multiple of requirements on a job site

Construction jobs require gallons of water and if it a big project
than a continuous supply of water essential for accomplishing
different jobs as also for the job site workers who are staying at
the spot temporarily. Keeping the requirement in view, temporary or
portable water towers are sometimes built in a large and long-term
construction sites. The best thing about construction site water
towers is that these can work even during power cuts. The
hydrostatic pressure formed due to height is sufficient to supply
water within the total area; however, for lifting water to a
certain height like when construction work is going on at a height
of 50-100 ft. from the ground level pumping water is necessary. Why
do construction sites require a water tower? Following are the
primary requirements of water on a construction site: As a welfare
facility for the workers or laborer engaged there For continuing
different geotechnical operations For any hydro blasting or hydro
demolition work For washing, cleaning and dust suppression For
percolation testing of floors, concrete slabs, and roofs, etc.
Portable water towers for construction sites Companies expert in
providing portable water towers normally delivers the complete
system and erect the tower with thereservoir as per the demand of
contractors or engineers. They also provide water tanks on regular
basis to fill-up the tower regularly. Typical portable water towers
possess 8000-12000 Gallon capacity. Portable water towers generally
use an engine driven thehydraulic pump and a cylinder. The cylinder
is attached to a discharge pipe of different diameter. A
12-inchdiameter discharge pipe can supply water at 2500 GPM.
Features of a typical construction site water tower Though
different capacities of portable water towers are available.
Following are the common specifications of a typical construction
site water tank: Rectangular steel tube is used for fabricating the
base to give the system more strength and prevent material buildup.
Six legs are used having 5-6-inch diameter to support the reservoir
in the raised position. Normally 2 water inlets of 3-inch diameter
are used to fill water. The reservoir is systemized for auto
shutdown with 8-inch diameter float. The reservoir is attached to a
ladder at the rear for accessing the top of the reservoir. Benefits
of construction site water tower Having water tower provides a
multiple of benefits to the contractors, some of these benefits are
as follows: These towers are portable, that means, they can be
moved from one location to another as and when required. Water
towers can be erected at variable heights depending on the
requirements at the job site. Can be filled with any types of pumps
in very short time. They are usable with thewater pump or
standpipe. They can be quickly uninstalled A water tower has
multiple purposes. It basically stores water for continuous use in
a job site. Contractors choose water towers instead of a tank when
the job site requires ahigher flow of water and when maintaining a
tank at the ground level is not possible. Water towers are
extremely flexible and inexpensive process of storing and using
water on a construction site.
