UNDERGROUND WATER TANK CONSTRUCTION IN KENYA

UNDERGROUND WATER CONSTRUCTION IN KENYA

TROUBLED BY WATER STORAGE FOR YOUR DOMESTIC OR COMMERCIAL USE?  Don’t worry as we Jesam contractors have a solution for you. Under ground water tank is a long-lasting solution for water storage. It is a structure constructed beneath the ground level either using concrete or masonry. It can either be constructed in rectangular or circular shape. During deciding on which materials and shape to use, we consider the capacity of water client desires to collect/store, the stability of the ground and the water table level.

Rectangular water tank

This type of underground water tank is highly used where the water table is high and you require to construct a wide and long tank to achieve the capacity of water that will be enough for your usage. They also work best where the type of soil is stable. These are mostly constructed using masonry.

Circular water tank

This type of underground water tank is highly recommended where the water is nearer to the ground level. This allows us to go deep into the ground to achieve the desired water capacity. It is also highly recommended where the soil is unstable. These are mostly constructed using concrete.

Advantages of using underground water tank

1. You can store any capacity of water desired and you can construct as big tank and you may desire
2. After constructing the underground underneath and fully covered, the top can be utilized for other desired purposes without interfering with the water.
3. Requires minimal or no maintenance at all
4. The underground water tank is never affected by extreme weather condition

Construction of underground water tank

Like any other structure, before construction of underground water tank we begin by site visit to know the stability of the soil and the water table level. We therefore provide the client with the design of the preferred type of underground water tank recommended for his/her site depending on the analysis gathered during the site visit and capacity of water the client intends to achieve. After the approval by the government, we provide the client with the estimate cost for construction. After which once agreed upon, we go ahead and execute the project to completion.

At jesam contractors we ensure that the quality of the underground water tank constructed is durable. We ensure this by plastering the internal of the underground water tank using the correct waterproof to ensure no leakages into or out of the tank. By so doing we ensure the water conserved in the tank is always safe for consumption.

Underground water tank can be used in harvesting water during the heavy rains using the gutter from the house roof and also from any other water sources to be used during water shortages or during dry seasons.

During construction jesam ensures that we introduce a column at the middle of the tank to ensure that the movement of water once store in the tank does not cause force at the corners of the wall of the tank which causes breaking of the wall due to pressure. With the column at the middle the water movement force is will be evenly distributed in the tank.

Where the soil/ground is extra unstable we recommend a double wall, where the outer wall is masonry and the inner wall is concrete. By so doing we ensure that force from the surrounding does not cause any curving in of the existing walls. This too is an added advantage as the two layers of wall plus the plaster ensures that the water is tight and no leakage is experienced either from inside to outside or vice versa.
