For water supplies generally though particularly for solar pumping installations, water storage is an essential system component. Cost effective roto moulded tanks have now become the norm though tank support structures are usually made on site and are of variable quality and strength. To address this D&S has now launched SunTower, an engineered structure fabricated from high tensile steel sections that has been designed with a particular focus on simplified erection that will enable complete systems to be installed in a day.
