Reliable access to potable water is essential for remote projects…
Particularly when transportable site facilities need to be set up quickly and serviced efficiently.
For this Pilbara project, our client required two portable potable water storage systems to support a transportable ablution block and crib room. The brief called for a compact unit to supply three toilets and hand basins, along with a larger-capacity tank to supply two kitchen sinks. Both systems needed to be practical, durable and ready for use on site, with weekly potable water servicing planned as part of the client’s operation.
To meet these requirements, West Coast Poly supplied a 4,500L portable storage tank system and a 25,000L portable storage tank system.
To provide pressurised water to the connected facilities, both tanks were fitted with Davey HP45-05T 240V pressure pumps, capable of delivering up to 70 litres per minute and up to 330kPa. This allows the systems to provide reliable water pressure for day-to-day use across the ablution block and crib room.
Each system was also equipped with a Davey KUV57 Steriflo kit, including UV treatment and 10” twin filter jumbo housings with a 20-micron pleated filter and 1-micron spun filter. This filtration and UV treatment setup provides a practical potable water solution for remote applications where clean, reliable water supply is non-negotiable.
Because these tanks are designed for site conditions, each unit was installed on a DuraGalv industrial-duty tank platform with an external protection frame and pump cover. The frames were manufactured from 50 x 50 x 3mm SHS, with welds finished in cold galvanising for added durability. A mid protection rail was also included, helping protect the tank and key operating components during transport, placement and general site use.
The result is a pair of portable water tank systems designed to support essential site infrastructure in the Pilbara. Compact where space matters, larger where capacity is required, and both fitted with the pumps, filtration, UV treatment and heavy-duty frames needed for remote project conditions.
For mining, construction and industrial clients working across WA, these systems provide a practical, ready-to-use potable water storage solution that can be tailored to suit the facilities, site layout and water demand of each project.
