Why Choose a Watertank Made From Steel?
Bluescope Aquaplate Steel is specifically designed and manufactured for the storage of rainwater. In the manufacturing process the steel is zinc coated both sides, lined with a hot bonded food-grade polymer on the internal surface and a Colorbond layer applied to the external surface. Aquaplate is purposely designed for the storage of potable drinking water.
Bluescope Aquaplate® Steel is a superior tank building material, offering the following features:

Steel and the Environment
Apart from looking great and perfectly matching the surroundings, Aquaplate steel watertanks have a large number of environmental benefits.
An independent study, conducted by the Centre for Sustainable Technology at the University of Newcastle presents a comparison based on Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of the three types of rain water tanks (Steel, Concrete and Plastic or Poly Tanks (HDPE)).
The LCA includes all stages in the life of the tank: extraction and processing of raw materials, transport to tank manufacturing site, tank fabrication, transport to customer’s site, installation, operation and disposal at the end of the useful life. Based on this LCA study the following conclusions could be made:
- Rain water tanks made from AQUAPLATE® steel have the lowest overall environmental impact
- Compared to concrete and HDPE rain water tanks, AQUAPLATE® steel has the lowest embodied energy, GGE and SOx emissons
- Water tanks made from both AQUAPLATE® steel and HDPE performed similarly in terms of water and NOx environmental burdens, outperforming concrete tanks
- Compared to a tank made from AQUAPLATE® steel, there is 50% more steel in a concrete tank as part of the structural reinforcement
- The annual environmental burden of a water tank made from AQUAPLATE® steel is equivalent to one 100W light bulb switched on for approximately one week
- Steel water tanks are fire resistant, and make a great choice for bushfire prone areas.
