Dart Concrete Standard Water Tank
The 10,000L concrete water tank provides a compact and durable water storage solution suitable for residential and rural properties. It is a good option where access for larger tanks is limited, where space on site is restricted, or where the full capacity of a 22,500L tank is just not required.
Manufactured from reinforced concrete, the tank is designed for long-term reliability and can be installed above ground or can be supplied with a heavy duty lid to allow a fully buried option.
Due to its size, the 10000L tank can be transported without requiring a wide load pilot vehicle, making it cheaper option to freight than larger tanks such as the 22500L models.
Built for Strength & Reliability
This 10,000L concrete water tank is manufactured as a one-piece precast structure using high strength concrete and welded steel reinforcement.
Concrete tanks help maintain stable water temperatures and limit light penetration, helping to reduce algae growth compared with many other tank types.
The tank is supplied with a 100mm thick concrete lid as standard. An optional 150mm heavy duty lid is available where the tank needs to be buried.
A 32mm brass socket is cast into the lower wall of the tank to allow the tank to be balanced during installation.

Delivery & Installation Requirements
Our 10,000l concrete water tanks are delivered throughout the Auckland, Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions using our specialised HIAB truck. Whether your property is rural, lifestyle, or residential, proper site preparation is essential to ensure safe and efficient installation. The 10000L tank can be transported without requiring a wide load pilot vehicle.
Site Requirements for Offloading:
The truck must park on a level surface for offloading, and there must be sufficient space for the truck to reverse up to the tank site.
The outrigger/stabilizing legs will extend up to a total of 10 meters. They must rest on solid ground, not fill, to ensure stability.
Offloading from the side or on uneven ground is not possible.
The crane's reach is approximately 3-4 meters from the rear of the truck, depending on the tank model and size, provided these conditions are met.
Please Ensure:
Clear Access: Remove any obstructions such as overhead wires, branches, or gate posts. Although the driver will take utmost care, we cannot be held responsible for damage resulting from restricted access.
Stable Ground: The ground must support up to 30 tons and be free of hazards like holes or drains. If the site is wet, please arrange for appropriate machinery.
Level Site and Foundation: Ensure an even distribution of weight on solid ground, not fill. Place digging material appropriately for truck access.
Crane Leg Stability: Extend crane legs on flat, level, and solid ground – not fill – preferably in compliance with NZS 3604.
Tank Site Preparation: Prepare a flat and level site, setting the tank onto a base of 7mm granular fines on compacted material. Box in the fines if there's a risk of washout, and ensure the area is free of protrusions.
Timing and Additional Support:
Please have your site prepared for our truck as we allow 30 minutes per tank on site.
Site preparation is the purchaser's responsibility, but we are happy to conduct a site visit or video call prior to delivery to assist you if it is feasible. Any site work by our company will be at your cost, and delays may incur extra charges.

FAQ
Where do you deliver?
We regularly deliver throughout Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Auckland and even Waiheke Island. This includes all rural surrounding areas.
How long until I get my tanks?
We can generally deliver within a week or so of ordering. We are constantly making water tanks, these are not made to order which means we have a constant supply. Times may vary depending on time of year.
Can standard tanks be fully buried?
Standard tanks are supplied with a 100mm thick concrete lid and are suitable for above ground installation or partial burial with lightweight cover.
Where the tank needs to be buried with heavier cover material, a 150mm heavy duty lid can be supplied. The heavier lid increases the overall tank height.
Can you customise the tanks?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on the type of customisation. Contact us if you have something specific in mind.
Do you make plunge pools?
No, not specifically. We can supply the tank without a lid. However, turning a tank into a pool is the customers responsibility. We cannot make these a custom height as the tanks are poured up-side-down.
Can the tanks be painted?
Customers are welcome to paint the tanks themselves using the correct products. Light colours are only permitted as it absorbs less heat
